That was then, this is now

 

Contest by Ink Empress.

That was then when we studied using pen -paper, practiced handwriting. consulted dictionary, committed to memory. This is now when kids are used to handle computer, have no idea of of mental calculation Google gives each solution, That was then happened Eager to hear voice of of most beloved, depending on your land phone, or to wait for love letter. This is now , we see : Mobile is always at hand. No need for waiting. Communication easy. Also Break up is ready. That was then when we blindly obeyed our parents, cared for seniors . Learned to give priority to both family and friends. This is now just clear New generations holding ' Don't care' attitude . ' My life is mine' being the motto of life all along. That was then when to respect the moral values as universal. Plain living and high thinking accepted as ideal. This is now when we wish to float in luxury. Only to compete. Malice but no sacrifice. High living and plain thinking.
