Some times I wish we can go back to the era, when life was just purely organic, no science and technology, no social media just humans living and interacting together.
it's true the evolution make sense, it's beautiful and really amazing, see how simplified life and living as become, we do things very easy with the speed of light, then there is Ai now helping is with ability to think and imagine.

I love science and all the technological advances going on all over the world but if you ask me, I think we have gone far leaving ourselves behind.
some months ago I attended an event that was centered on finding out people's wellbeing the tittle of that event was Kedu? it's an igbo language meaning how are you, all through the event and the numerous speakers that stood on the stage all point to one fact humans are no longer humane, we have lost that intrinsic caring, sympthatetic side of us, every body is going about carrying some heavy weight on their shoulder yet dressed fine smell nice with a gracious smiles that warms your heart yet deep down inside they are dieing, you ask anybody how are you instantly it's almost like it's automated they'd answer you I'm fine, honestly sincerely are we really fine? truthfully speaking?
we now live in houses fenced round like cubicles, we barely know what's happening in our neighborhood, we barely see face to face not to think of having a moment to talk and find out what the other person is going through, we now have fast keyless self driving cars, we now speak to things in our homes and the respond to us, families are now living separetely under the same roof, almost like a detached duplex with everything in there, everyone in thier room not minding what the next person is going through, no family times anymore
you see we barely have time to hangout, fathers, mothers, children now do not have time to seat and interact one on one, neighbors be like hi, hi, off we go and that's how the routine repeats, and you really wonder why there seem
to be increased in the number of suicide, people are depressed going through some serious midlife crisis, no one seems to care because we are all too involved in ourselves..

I really miss my childhood days, I wish we can just pause were we are right now and just go back to living like our ancestral parents, it might sound awkward but trust me it's the best right now, seriously we have lost that human touch in everything, just imagine what Ai is doing now, literally helping us with the ability to think reason and imagine, I told my students some time ago that the only thing that distinguish humans from Animals is the ability to think and reason, animals can't do that, but now that Ai is helping us think and imagine then what's left of us.
for a moment I wish we can truly pause and go back to rekindle ourselves with the real human touch that we have missed all along, that traditional essence we once have, moonlight folk tales, under the moonlight singing ancient chants of victory, holding hand on hand to the stream, eating from the same plate doesn't matter whose house it is.....
