Smartphone" Today's Opium .....That day has arrived !
email forwarded by Kamalini Kanapathippillai.
Today’s Opium ...............
People are addicted these days ! One Café shop sign says : We do not have WIFI. Converse with your loved ones. The major cause of divorce in 2018
will be the smartphone. Your friends and family members are so close and yet so
far. The smartphone today is not dissimilar to opium in the last century. It
kills off our communication skills, and poisons our hearts and souls. You don’t
have to wonder any more why so many young people don’t read, can’t spell or
write decently and are often inarticulate.

Great brains.
email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai :-
One Sunday morning, a wealthy man
sat in his balcony enjoying the sunshine and his coffee when a little ant
caught his eye which was going from one side to the other side of the balcony
carrying a big leaf several times more than its size. The man watched it for more
than an hour. He saw that the ant faced many impediments during its journey,
paused, took a diversion and then continued towards its destination.
At one point the tiny creature came across a crack in the floor. It paused for a little while, analyzed and then laid the huge leaf over the crack, walked over the leaf, picked up the leaf on the other side then continued its journey.
The man was captivated by the cleverness of the ant, one of God’s tiniest creatures. The incident left the man in awe and forced him to contemplate over the miracle of Creation. It showed the greatness of the Creator. In front of his eyes there was this tiny creature of God, lacking in size yet equipped with a brain to analyze, contemplate, reason, explore, discover and overcome. Along with all these capabilities, the man also noticed that this tiny creature shared some human shortcomings.
The man saw about an hour later the creature had reached its destination – a tiny hole in the floor which was entrance to its underground dwelling. And it was at this point that the ant’s shortcoming, that it shared with the man, was revealed. How could the ant carry into the tiny hole the large leaf that it had managed to carefully bring to the destination? It simply couldn't !
So the tiny creature, after all the painstaking and hard work and exercising great skills, overcoming all the difficulties along the way, just left behind the large leaf and went home empty-handed.
The ant had not thought about the end before it began its challenging journey and in the end the large leaf was nothing more than a burden to it. The creature had no option, but to leave it behind to reach its destination. The man learned a great lesson that day.
Isn’t that the truth about our lives?
We worry about our family, we worry about our job, we worry about how to earn more money, we worry about where we should live – 5 bedroom or 6 bedroom house, what kind of vehicle to buy – a Mercedes or BMW or a Porsche, what kind of dresses to wear, all sorts of things, only to abandon all these things when we reach our destination – The Grave. We don’t realize in our life’s journey that these are just burdens that we are carrying with utmost care and fear of losing them, only to find that at the end they are useless and we can’t take them with us.

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't
walk behind me, I may not lead; Just walk beside me and be my friend !
