WWW - a boon or a bane

The world wide web is so wonderful. I can find anything at the tip of my fingers. It is so convenient to sit all day and surf for various things or watch movies or episodes or go to facebook. Oh,so much fun and that too so convenient.

There is a price to pay for all this convenience. We tend to get drawn to our laptop/pc/ipod/iphone which gives us the power to tap the internet.We tend to to forget our near and dear ones who are close to us in person in our pursuit to have cyber friends. We forget to step out and enjoy the nature. We forget to exercise,dance,bike or run /walk outside in our eagerness to access the world wide web. We get so absorbed in this cyber world that we forget to live in this real world.

Science is as good as its usage. We should use the internet only for information/knowledge like a library, not for entertainment. The emergence of entertainment on the internet is scary,dangerous and lethal. We need to refrain from it.

Convenience is expensive in terms of health ,wealth and family!!

It is so easy to get pulled in this materialistic life and use retail therapy to feel better and to avoid one's ownself. We shop and watch TV to avoid facing our own reality. The truth about oursleves is bitter,so we try to run away from it.

When things are going good,this materialsitic life can seem to be perfect, but when there is a rough patch we need emotional support from our own self besides our friends and family. At that time we realise that in becoming so materialistically selfish ,we have not been there for our near and dear ones and now no one is there for us. I really do not like to meditate even for 5 minutes ,not becoz it is is hard to avoid thoughts ,but also becoz I might have to face the real me,from whom I am running away all the time by being so bz in office work,home ,dropping kids etc.

I need to face the truth and take a decision to improve the real me ,the one that does not need acceptance from others or tries to please others,but make my real me happy and satisfied.
I have wasted enough time in my life trying to get approval from others,now it is time to do what my inner self tells me to do. Wishing good luck to myself,I signoff for now.
