Paradox of Life – Smart Phones with Stupid People

We are life witnesses to the biggest paradox of life – the life as we know it. We are in the era of smart phones but stupid people. We live at a time where people have invaded outer space but failed to find their personal one.

They have built the tallest buildings with the shortest of sights, they have planned more but executed less, they read a lot but have less knowledge. They did large improvements but not better ones. They have purified the air but pollute their souls. They want to manage nations and planets, but they cannot manage their own anger.

They eat more – but are less healthy, they talk about god but do not equally act like how god tells us to, they chase money to be richer however with the chase they become poorer.

They go through depressions and they are anti-social, though they are on social media 24/7, they try to buy the most expensive things in life not knowing that those are for free.

They never appreciate something until its gone, they learn to carry out multi-tasks, but they often keep things incomplete.

They find things when they stop looking for them. The more they play hard to get, the more people want to have them around.

They talk more but do less, they put rules to break them, they talk about persity, but they form groups with their likes, they say they fight for a better life but let go quickly, they believe in spirituality, but they are fanatic about science.

They go green but burn trees, they put 'no smoking signs' but build smoking rooms everywhere. They invented fast food which has the slowest rate of digestion. They have more income but less financial security.

This is the time where friendship has become a request, a fight is an unfriend, a relationship is “its complicated “, it is the time of how many friends we have on Facebook, how trending we are through our likes and shares.

We now follow people instead of knowing them, we take pictures of ourselves to gain social approval from the world wide web instead of being self-assured of our value as people not as things.

And we have smart phones in our hands – used by stupid people which do all the above every day.
