We are in the world where Wireless Fidelity is the connection. It is a quick access and there is so much entertainment. With this, we woke up in the world in which we are so blinded by people's attention. That is why we are doing everything to gain it.
Just like you, I am also a wifi user. It is so good to have a quick access and entertainment everyday. It makes you wander around the world even just by seeing. It satisfied me a lot. I am so entertained and fond of the contents that I always decide to just stay in our house.
However, one day, my WiFi suddenly shut down. At first, I am totally disappointed and I am blaming myself for not working because the connection bill is already cut off. But honestly, I didn't expect to see things unlike before.
I keep on asking question about the things around me like "Do I really have a television?"
When I look at the mirror, I start to ask myself, "Am I really this beautiful without the filters?"
When I look outside, I was blinded by the light and I say, "Is the sun always shining like this?"
Almost half of my life, I am glued to a glass screen and I even forget how the grass could be green.
I started to appreciate what is in front of me. I can see how beautiful the world with blue sky and the real birds that are chirping beautifully unlike how the Twitter notification chirp on me.
I saw how people takes a lot of effort in the pictures and how some of them pretend to be happy but sad in the reality. I saw how everyone spent on things even though they didn't want to just for the sake of attention.
With that, I woke up in the reality where most of the people in the internet are not true happy but they are just posting to impressed. They didn't know that they are already being greedy. But, what can we do if the society tells them that they needed to?
I am so happy that my WiFi shut down. I woke up in reality, having a lesson that is worthy to keep in my mind.
"People on the internet don't need to be pretential. If you choose to live this world, make sure you are having a genuine fun. The satisfaction should just be in you and you don't need to beg for it from other people. Be a true person. Be a happy person."
And also, to the internet addict, GET YOUR ASS OFF YOUR COUCH OR YOUR BED BECAUSE YOU NEED TO EXPLORE THE WORLD. YOU JUST DON'T NEED TO BE IMPRESSED. INSTEAD, IMPRESSED OTHERS WITH YOUR TRUE HAPPINESS.
