Today, when the whole world is active on social media and
uploading their smiling photos with friends and families I feel that the real
happiness is fading away in these fake expressions of happiness. Today’s youth
is more targeted to upload photos and videos rather than actually enjoying the
moment. They post stories and live videos on Instagram and several other Social
Media Channels. While doing all this they forget to actually experience the
occasion and they miss the real fun of life.
The Fake Happiness
They are living life for others to see their photos and videos
instead of living for their own self to learn and experience life the way it
comes. They don’t remember what they actually felt while on a holiday or a trip;
because they were busy uploading photos and videos at that time. Their friends
are impressed by their “status and likes” records. And then they too start planning
for a more adventurous trip to post updates of Social Media. They are doing all
this not to gain experience but to gain “likes’ and “Views”
The Magnetic Aura of
Fake Happiness
Today, all old and young get attracted towards the face book
followers and likes records. They have started using “metrics” to measure “happiness”,
instead of “smiles”.
I still remember those beautiful childhood summer holidays when
we all used to spray water on our terrace and spread beds with mosquito nets to
sleep on roof-top. i still remember watching those beautiful stars till late night.We don’t have any photos or videos of that time but still I remember
each and every moment and incidence of those days as the most beautiful part of
my memory-lane.
Our mothers and grandmothers never clicked our photos to make
us feel how important we were for them? But, on the contrary they never forgot
to make our favorite pickle, jam and foods for us to ensure our good health and
happiness in that small steel Tiffin-box. How genuine our smiles were those
days? How real their love was without any “likes” or views” or “comments” of
anyone who was not involved. That love and happiness was as pure and sacred as
my grandmother’s love for us. She taught us to be “happy” even when we don’t have
a single penny in our pockets. That was the real “happiness” which is “endangered”
now.
