Yes! They say
it right, words have the power to change people, reshape emotions, stop wars
and dig an immortal grave.
But is it just
the words ?
Many people
around the world prefer communicating about some tough issue over messages.
Why, you ask. Simple, it's easier to either face denial or to point out
offensive things over the cloud.
Once you say
something upsetting to a person on his/her face, you see what effects your
saying has done. You see how their eyes are no more twinkling, how their voice
no longer has the zeal which you adore, how their soft, warm hands are now
becoming restless due to the unfriendly words you adorned. You notice how their
reactions have been configured by your actions.
Similarly, if
you are full of joy and you share it with your loved ones, you can noticeably
observe their energy going from "The heart wants what it wants" to "Good
for you" (Both by Selena Gomez), i.e they instantly become happy and their
eyeballs magnify and they hug or kiss you to show you how much you mean to
them, their smile becomes so large that their not-so-white molars n premolars
are visible to you.
But all these
gestures, which are not words are killed through emojis when you convey your
things to your own people by just leaving a text.
The gestures,
unlike words which are said n heard, are supposed to be felt. Their hugs,
kisses, smiles, frowns, tears are supposed to be felt by you, only then they
actually mean to you.
If someone is
hungry, do you send a pizza slice emoji and then behave like you fed them ? Do
they thank you for the heavy meal?
So how can you
now, fulfil yours n others thirst of emotions just through texts, statuses, DPs
etc etc etc.

See, I wished
you Happy Birthday on FB in a gigantic elephant paragraph but in reality, I
don't even know where you were born or what are your priorities or what are
your interests or, in whole, what kind of person you are. but hey, Does it
matter? I thought just being BFF or soul mate in the virtual world is
#lifegoals .
**sarcasmover**
Isn't it sad?
I am sure you
must have read how this virtual world has messed up life and all. But I don't
agree. I won't say that the virtual world has done anything wrong, it is Us. We
are lazy. We need something easy always. And it's easy to express ourselves
online, it is easy to label any offensive thing as being misunderstood. It is
easy to break up with your lover over the mobile, as you won' have to face the
tears or drama or whatever it is for you. It is easy to say congratulations on
a post rather than to waste an hour listening to your friend's victory story.
It is just so easy to show off the world that how much you love someone on the
internet, right?
I was bored
the other day, so I started just random checking of Instagram profiles, I came
across a bio, which read " Being famous on Instagram is like being rich in
monopoly", ahaha ! I liked it a lot, though i know that the profile owner
must be praying for more followers daily. Well, it's a crazy world.
Coming back to
emotions. Emotions, the dictionary definition I don't know, but what I know is
that emotions are felt. You may not feel that much amount of love seeing your
crush's/lover's photograph, but when they are in front of you, damn the
adrenaline takes you.
So, not
overdoing this post and conveying my social message, I suggest you not to leave
your online avatars but to fit in your offline ones too.
The people who
mean to you. who make you happy, who are the important ones, your gang, your
dwarfs, your musketeers, the people who you love are not the ones who are to be
treated as your virtual life. They are your real life.
Feel their
smiles.
Feel their
giggles.
Feel their
screams.
Feel their voices.
Feel their
cribs.
Feel their
hugs.
Feel their
kisses.
Feel their
tears.
Feel their
presence.
Feel the
space. This is your space. This is where you are happy, free and infinite.
