The new age

Waseem Ahmed
There was a time when people used to love one another. They used to meet and share good bonds with one another. But, alas! That environment is no more. Today, everyone is busy in their owns. No one has time for other. And this has caused many problems for the new generation. They can neither take a good decision nor can they be satisfied with what they do. There are many reasons that has shaped the new age differently, such as: cellphone, haughtiness, relying on others and so on. After the evolution of science, many things were invented, one of which is cellphone. After cellphone was invented; many things changed. Man got many benefits from this invention but on the other hand this invention finished social interaction. This made man a machine relying creature who never tried to attend a gathering and give time to experienced ones but a touch screen. Cellphone made man lethargic mentally as well as physically. Its advantages can never be denied but it never let man to be self-esteemed and independent. It always wanted that man should be dependent on it. This dependency made man weak and even weaker time to time. Such an age has come that no one can live a second without cellphone. They leave productive gatherings of their seniors and parents. Additionally, haughtiness has just ruined the man. Everyone thinks himself to be perfect. There are two things: confidence and arrogance. Confidence builds you while arrogance and haughtiness breaks you. Today, no one can be found getting knowledge from others. Even they are unknowledgeable but still they do not try to learn. What compels them to not learn is their wrong perception of being perfect. In old ages, even the perfect ones yearned to learn more and more and get new ideas. More importantly, today, we rely on others. Relying is good but in a limit. But, we completely look forward to others that they will come and take us out of mud. We never try to go out of mud ourselves even we possess the capability of handling situations ourselves. We lack self-reliance. If someone says this is good and do this. We follow that without thinking that we have also brain in our skull. Why not to use that and why to agree others? There are many such things and concepts which have made the new age; a loser age. We need to change our mindset and try to be what our ancestors wanted us to be.
