Fast moving world and mechanical life

Fast moving world and mechanical life  

Subajana Jeyaseelan

Life has become insurmountably mechanical, with the busy and heavy schedules of humans. The world has shrunk. Technology being a part of modern life is a controversial one. The speed of communication becomes unbelievable. 

By sitting in front of the internet, one can spin the world with in a second; this makes people more engaged and pulled into the busy life. In this new era, overwhelming arrival of mobile phones, iPods, computer and internet and other house-hold electrical goods, do not only give leave to manual power and time but also make men and women lazy and even ill.

 Now, the days are difficult since people have become workaholics, money minded and power hungry. Also, gone are the days of giving importance to human values. The tradition of dependency, on each other is being washed away and independency crops up. Even, for transport we rarely depend on each other. As a result, individuals are disregarded or the souls have not been taken care of.

 Hence, people do not show any real affection towards each other. They fail to value fellow beings’ feelings, and fall short to cultivate warm and amicable relationship among them, showing no family commitments as they are in a rat race, trying to be in the first rank in this world. Hence, people lead a hustle and bustle lifestyle. When the people are taken away, like the waves to the shore, to modern and busy life, this will gradually disfigure human relationships and family bonds in a long run.

 People are not content with what they have; instead they crave for more and more. This is human nature.  A proverb says a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush. I hope, this best suits the situation.

As a result, human beings are pressurized and ultimately thrown into the ocean of depression, tension and stress. This leads man to be mentally physically ill and unfit; also it gives room for developing dangerous ailments as psychosomatic, blood pressure, diabetes and other heart disease. Again this causes restlessness and stress.

In fact, toiling and sweating are, for the betterment of happiness and successful life and not to be in the grip of numerous diseases to ruin their lives. It is really a regrettable and miserable situation for all mankind. Even the erudite people fail to realize the real human values, worthiness of relationships and actual happiness of life. Education is defeated in front of human feelings and emotions. Needless to say, education is meant for tolerance, possessing refined qualities bound with better mutual understanding and not for posing as busy.

The impacts on modern life style mutilate younger generation as well. Most of the youths are blindly, slaved to modern trend. They model cinema heroes and heroines in style and misbehaviors as drinking alcohol and smoking, not obeying or respecting to their elders, misusing internet, hardly show interest in studies and other academic activities. In fact, they build castles in the air. Further, with regards to education, IT has provided the vehicle for the whole destruction.

 In addition to this, the arrival of computer and internet which plays a huge role, the reading habit is diminished; the sudden drop can be observed. Youths are not mature enough to feel or realize the repercussions of their conduct. Nevertheless, when they are advised by the teachers and the parents they turn into deaf ears. The negative attitudes of youths are triggered by the environment where they are and the exposure they get. So, Younger generation should be guided in a proper way otherwise their future will be a ship without an anchor.

In conclusion, excess of anything is good for nothing. The people should focus the things in a balanced way in order to get rid of dense schedules and floating in troubles and lose the real mirth and happiness of life. The lost days, opportunities, and life will never return. Once lost it is lost it forever.
