Do not take poor substitutes as a replacement of actually living. Be with your loved ones and create lasting memories.
The man seemed happily absorbed playing with a toy train on a track inside the house, while his wife and dog patiently waits outside- a world where a real train on track can be observed, or better yet, experienced.
A lot of us are guilty of this, for sure, especially now that technology has a lot to offer in terms of indoor entertainment or pre-occupation. Many are almost always either in front of a computer or is on their mobile devices.
Little do we realize that by doing so, we may have been letting life pass us by.
We miss moments with our loved ones- friends and family.
We miss the important, because of so much focus on the unreal.
This is my interpretation of the surreal painting of Rafal Olbinski for Artchallenge #22.
