desire to discover

What we miss in life nowadays is mystery. Most things we can Google the rest we find on Facebook. Our way to connect is not only a blessing it is also a curse. We don’t have to wait for a Sunday to go shopping, we click it home. We don’t need to step outside to discover the knowledge we need today. We don’t need to walk through a library filled with old books to have a good read, we already know what we need and we can read it online. We don’t even have to lift our arm to flick through a bunch of photos thoughtfully placed to match the different occasions in our lives, we have Instagram. I don’t even need to speak to put my opinions and thoughts out loud, I have a blog.

Our desire to discover the world as it is has changed to something else, our adventures is losing its charm. Our day to day life is a screen bombarding us with information we learned to deal with. Speed is the word to define us. We live faster to make time go faster and the fact is also we barely appreciate the time. 

I want us to remember the traditional ways and sometimes still make use of them. We should bring mystery to our lives again. Don’t google the guy/girl you like, don’t poke them on facebook, enjoy the unawareness, find the beauty in a library filled with stories, make an occasion of looking through a photo-album and make that walk to the shopping mall a day of adventures. Don’t sit your life away even if facebook see themselves as useful as chairs. We don’t want to sit, we want to live, we want to walk, run and jump when we are happy not change our status. We want to at least call our friends on their birthdays not write on their walls. We want to design our own invitations. I am not against it, I use it very frequently but I want to keep the small things in life that makes waiting fun. I want to keep the feeling of desire to discover, I want to chase my dream not getting it thrown at me.
