We can't deny the fact that we are not victims when it comes to eating with one hand and holding the phone in another hand. Sometimes I asked myself how we got here. My husband complained about the kids and myself always on phones, it didn't change after that. Today he is the boss. He sleeps with the phone, takes the phone to toilet and no one can correct him. On the scale of 1 to 10, my husband is 9 and half. Hahaha 😂😂😂.
Somehow we have been so addicted to phones that even when we want to eat, greet people, go to church we will always be with our phones. I don't really know how we got here. I believe that it wasn't so five years back. We are getting worse every year and is like we are not seeing anything wrong with it.
For week 201 episode 2 I really love the topic and will love to read what people have in mind concerning this particular topic for the week.
PHONE BAN
I think this is worth trying. But the question is , can we adhere? It is going to be possible for us to obey? I have seen a church online that made attempt to collect people's phone during church service because all they do during the church service is to press their phones. This is mostly rampad with the young people of this age. Phone has become everything for them. It looks as if without phone they can not survive an hour.
Today most young people don't know how to greet because they can't see when you walk pass them. Even on the road they are on the phone, in school they are with phones, in the toilet they are with phones, in the dinning room eating with the family they are still with phones. During morning or night prayers they will still be with phones. What a world! We have come to that place when all that we are is in our phones.
Maybe we should give it a trial. I don't think it is infringement on anyone's right. This is called table manners. We don't need to allow anything distract us when we are eating with our family and friends. The phone is actually trying to take u away from the people we love. We can't make it alone and that is why we need people around us. Our phones can't make is loose them. We need to set boundaries so that we can have a very good relationship with people around us especially family.
In conclusion I think we should all talk to ourselves because we are all adults. Most children learn from us. If we continue like this, then what becomes of our children? Theirs will be bad when they come up and that is why we need to do the needful now that qe still have the time. We need to shift our phones aside when we want to eat. Maybe take only necessary calls if the need be. I tried it before in my family and it didn't work, but I will try again.
