BE REAL
(By Ziri Dafranchi)
"I find no importance in showing others that I am happy; it's not important to me that they know or think that I am happy but what is important to me is that I am happy."— C. Joybell C
Life is short but time is long; time is endless but life ends. Life is a long story short; it is too short to be wasted. Life is to be lived and not to be engaged in playing to the gallery. Some products have "Best Before" and "Expiry" dates; same goes for life— we expire at death and are best before diseases or old age make us redundant. More importantly, life is a mission based on a plan: We have an alloted time to accomplish our mission here. Therefore life is somewhat like a business and we need to run it efficiently and productively. One way of ensuring this is to use our time wisely to optimise it. Sadly, we have a lot of things vying for our limited time here. In recent years social media has become one of the top contenders.
With social media— the number of followers, likes, views, shares and comments— comes clout chasing as users do anything possible to gain visibility and popularity online. As a result, some people spend a good portion of their lives presenting false realities online at the expense of actually doing something worthwhile with their time in order to better their lives in reality. While social media has its benefits, it also has a dark side usually as a result of its abuse. In addition to serving as a distraction from the real life, it also presents some other risks including mental health problems; destruction of real life socialisation; and bullying, trolling and violence. We are personally responsible for how we use social media and so we should ensure we maintain a healthy balance in this regard.
There's nothing like the real thing. Life is real, virtual reality isn't. Embrace reality, be real and live real to get the best out of life.
