Whatsapp Forwards

Gone are days of eyeball contact When we used to meet in person A warm embrace and a handshake Laughter and light conversation Now our sanity is at stake Inundated with messages Good mornings and words of wisdom Methinks people are now lazy Having nothing better to do I confess it drives me crazy Blinking substitutes not thinking Whilst expressing our heart’s emote Or while playing a game of chess Originality’s passe So I guess we’ll make do with less

You are absolutely right.dear friend. This is how I feel too. People forward messages to our mobiles to the point of cramming them and many are sadly lost in them, doing nothing else . I fear we are all equally responsible for making a generation so sedantary. You have addressed a crucial issue bothering seniors like us.

Whatsapp forwards overwhelm my disk storage. I have lost interest in it. I agree with your depiction of it on social life.

Very rarely do we see an original message, composed consciously. I’ve put all groups on silent mode. It is an eerie loneliness perhaps that causes people to forward messages, connected to the screen rather than the person himself. A vertical decline in human consciousness
