My life has been hijacked by my mobile phone

By Ian Morrison

Idon't know when it first started.

I don't really talk to my friends anymore.

We just send each other texts and emotion on social network.

And the ones who don't do this often gradually fade away from my daily life.

I don't even talk to my family much anymore.

They all have their wonderful lives inside their smart phones,just like me.

Those days when I can chat joyfully with people who I love inside a cosy restaurant with mouthwatering feast in front of us are long gone.

Sometimes when this thought come across my mind I realize that I really miss this.

There are moments in which I thought to myself:Am I still myself?Or have I become my phone?

Yes,technology is what keep us going forward.

But we really should not go too fast.

We need time to empty our minds and reflect on ourselves.

We need time to feel all the feelings that make us human.

我不知道这是从什么时候开始的。

我已经不再和朋友们进行真正的交谈了。

我们仅仅是在社交网络上发发信息、发发表情。

而那些不这么做的人，则渐渐淡出了我的生活。

我甚至都不怎么和家人讲话了。

他们也都在各自的手机上有着精彩的生活，就像我一样。

那些可以和所爱之人一起在一家温馨餐厅里一边享受眼前美味佳肴、一边愉快交谈的日子，已经一去不复返了。

有些时候，当这种想法忽然袭来的时候，我发现自己真的很怀念那种日子。

有些时候，我甚至想：我还是我自己吗?还是说，我已经变成了我的手机?

对，科技推动着我们不断向前。

但我们真的不应该走得过快。

我们需要留出时间来放空自己，来自我反思。

我们需要留出时间来感受那些让我们之所以为人的情感。

Y ou are enrolled in a full-time school called “life”.Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons.You may like the lessons or hate them,but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.

Why are you here?What is your purpose?Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time.What we and our ancestors have overlooked,however,is that there is no one answer.The meaning of life is different for every individual.

Each person has his or her own purpose and distinct path,unique and separate from anyone else’s.As you travel your life path,you will be presented with numerous lessons that you will need to learn in order to fulfill that purpose.The lessons you are presented with are specific to you;learning these lessons is the key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and connection of your own life.

As you travel through your lifetime,you may en counter challenging lessons that others don’t have to face,while others spend years struggling with challenges that you don’t need to deal with.You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage,while your friends suffer through bitter arguments and painful divorces,just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance.The only thing you can count on for certain is that you will be presented with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn;whether you choose to learn them or not is entirely up to you.
