Social distancing or Social Networking?


Networking...
You all must be tired of this distancing, although you might have spent much time on internet lately before this crisis.

Feeling Nostalgic...?
Remember yourself when you were a kid, what was your "social network"? Going outside... playing football, badminton or any other game like "tag tag". Or the board games like "Monopoly" ,"scrabbles" and many others...

But what happened? You grew up in this,"era of internet". You forgot to play "catch me if you can" , you forgot to play "karem board" and you forgot to mix up with people you know physically. All you did is "posted a pic on FB or Insta" waiting for "likes". Or sending a voice or text message to a friend who lives nearby, because you were too busy to go out.

Then, why is boredom taking you over now? You have been practicing all this for last few years.

What's the point of all this mentioned above? ...

Many people started cursing internet because of the time it consumed could have been a family quality time, it could have been a friend's meet - up plan or anything physical rather than virtual.

STOP thinking like that...
It is in man's nature that he never is thankful about anything. When you had this chance of going out, you preffered to stay home and text a friend. You enjoyed it out of your laziness. You took internet as a "Bliss".

So, for now don't curse staying at home,dont curse "social distancing". This is a chance to balance out. Spend family time, play indoor, outdoor games and keep thinking like that, "internet is a bliss!"
It has connected you globally. So welcome this virtual global village, socialize. Stream movies,tv shows and anything you like to watch or listen.

But YES, use it positively and wisely!

"Don't use social media to impress people;use it to impact people." Dave Willis
