Importance of Human Relations in the Digital world
Amina Ashraf
Today, in this industrial and materialistic era, a man is worried due to his own activities which he performs on daily basis by using internet, machines etc. He doesn't find peace and comfort anywhere. At this juncture, he feels absence of his near and dear.
Before delving deep into this discussion, it is necessary to tell the natural instincts of human being. A man is a social animal. He cannot live alone while he has to connect himself with others to live a prosperous life. These people spend their lives in the form of families, friends, relatives and neighbours. Scathingly, now the situation has changed. People spend their lives in the company of internet, mobile phones, machines etc. Computers have replaced human beings in the modern world. The rapid growth of technology has brought about significant changes in human lives, especially in their relationships.
Technology has brought us closer and squeezed the distances but in reality, it has taken us away from each other. Now human relations have also become digital.There is no doubt human beings' relation has its own significance in our lives. In dismal and doleful situation, only near relatives, sisters and brothers share our worries and stand by us in every moment. No mechanical thing overcomes our pain.
In this money- getting and money- spending era, everyone is running in a race between the sun and the cloud. When darkness surroundes the sun, the sun moves towards cloud to come out of it. Like wise, man has indulged himself in money- getting. As the world has become a "global village", relations are also moving towards globalization very fast. Neverthelessy, human beings like to spend their time in social company. They don't want to have pureity and spirituality in their life in the form of beautiful relations.
But it's a natural thing that a man cannot live alone. In his excessive isolation, he preys to anxiety, frustration, depression etc. Psychiatrists also call this venomous for human being's health. So at this moment, a man is tired and feels the company of human beings so that he can share his inner feelings. Alas! the charm of beautiful relations has also lost somewhere. Instead of these facts, we always enjoy the company of human beings and miss them in every moment. Only human beings can give us courage, overcome our pain and Keep us alive.
It is very necessary to keep strong the bond of human relations in this materialistic era. Relation always demands time and care. We should give priority to our beautiful relations because just a human being stands with other man in his difficult and happy situation.
