The world is often dark.
The reality is accentuated with the fact that more often than not, you are
bombarded in social media with cruel, merciless, and nonsense posts. I do
wonder, what is there to hope for?
The feeling of isolation is more potent than ever. Despite of what the technology has done to connect people around the globe, we still live in a really lonely world. We become more concerned of being ‘RIGHT’ than being ‘HEARD’. We desire for instant gratification by ‘likes’ and ‘comments’ on our posts than finding genuine happiness. We become judgmental without hearing facts because of how easy it is to do that instead of engaging in intelligent discourse. The world needs less anger, resentment, and negativity. We need the eyes that see the best of everything.
With all these less
than optimal feelings, I take comfort with what Martin Luther says, “Everything that is
done in the world is done by hope.” Sometimes we
need to walk through the dark in order to see the light. It may be cloudy now
but there’s a silver lining along the way.
The eyes that see the best of everything. It's just plainly too beautiful. I wish we all could be like that. This post brings out a lot of positive vibes.

DeleteTotally agree! Leave at IT stuff, PC etc. Talk to people in live, leave social media and enjoy the travel!
ReplyDeleteSickening to see most people buried on their phones during family occasion!
DeleteIn a world of stark contrast, deeply divided..... No matter how polarized we are... I agree that we should possess eyes that see best of everything.....
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteIt's the instant gratification of likes & comments that fuels very false appearances online.
ReplyDeleteAnd that creates facade of deep sadness for most people!
DeleteThis was so inspirational. What a great read, especially going into the new year.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting!

ReplyDeleteHugo said, hope is the only thing written in the brows of every man.
DeleteThanks for the reminder and the positive vibes. This is why people shouldn't give up so easily. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Life is not that hard.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteTechnology is a great thing when not taken too far. As in, using it for all our awake life!
ReplyDeleteWe should make technology as our tool not allow ourselves to be used by technology!
Delete“Everything that is done in the world is done by hope.” Perfect words on Martin Luther King Day
ReplyDeleteI agree that we have become more impatient and needy in our world. A periodic social media detox is not a bad idea...
ReplyDeleteNice post. I enjoyed reading it.
ReplyDeleteTechnology is brilliant, but taking a break from it occasionally is definitely a good idea. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteInteresting read. Last year, I fell for the social media brouhaha and never really made any 'relationship'. One of my goals this year is to reconnect with lost relationships. This is serving as a reminder.
