Today I met a friend at Starbucks after twenty eight years did not meet her, she is still slim. Both of us wearing a face mask. We were talking about children learning via online classes nowadays. She complained that her son just on the computer without video; at the time playing video game using handphone. I observed and heard from relatives and friends who have children, playing video game is nowadays hobby of most children and adults.
As mindfulness is not being cultivated and emphasis in our daily activities, adults and children take it lightly they can do anything to please their senses but not paying attention to what they are tasked to do or should be rightfully doing.
I can see such addiction bring long term harm towards oneself ability to focus and quality of living standard deteriorate mentally and physically. They might not be able to make wise sound decision independently as they are not paying attention to various aspects which contribute to a worthy decision which they would not regret later. They also cannot recall, what they have done or doing it without knowing what he/ she is doing. A common example is cannot recall where he or she has put their things, keys…The mind is not sharp and focus on the present moment.
It is sad most of us missed out to experience precious moment by not being present. What most people think are they want to finish as many chores/tasks as soon as they can. Having wrong concept that they can squeeze many tasks in the shortest moment means that this is called efficient.
