This may sound a bit strange to some people that read this if anyone does read what I'm about to tell you. Hopefully anyone that does read through this might actually make some sense of it.

I know it's 03:21 in the morning when I'm writing this and I should be sound asleep by now tucked up in the feather pillows of my bed.

It's often this time of the night that's quiet and I can be clear and think.
I've been thinking deeply today about how things have changed so dramatically over the years in relation to the general depth of friendships people make out in the World.

Before the Internet (which wasn't so long ago) people used to use telephones and talk in conversation with each other and I suppose everything was very localized.
With modern advancements in technology most folks in the western World now have at their disposal their very own "smart" phone and almost everyone has a Fakebook profile with messenger, (although maybe not case with everyone on steem).

The tendency is then, we're out their surfing the waves of life we meet people and make many friends most people then sugest. "Hey let's become 'Fakebook' friends". You both soon dance your cosmic dance away.

Then, (if your very lucky) it may lead to quick 'chats' on the messenger app in the future, every now and again both wishing regards, you may even get a post on your birthday wishing a happy day exc. leading then to either of you "chatting" again on messenger (does this sound familiar).

Did any one of these people actually take a moment to ever call you on the phone to give these wishes personally I ask, of enquire how you were?

A big fat No would be the answer all around.

Let me take for an example, last year.
I had many well wishes for my birthday on my Fakebook page of which I am always grateful, but the only person that took the real time to ring me up, personally wish me a great day apart from my Mum, was a very dear friend I know that is in the minority of the populous that does not engage in this "Fakebook" medium.

They think the whole world has gone completely bonkers mad and also believe many people just do not know how to talk with each other much these days!

I do talk with a few friends on the phone sometimes and One of my friends that i chat too regularly is a very dear friend that i met a few years back that does not have a connection to the "web" or even own a "smart" phone, just has a regular telephone believe it or not.

Please don't get me wrong I'm not upset, this isn't a rant, only my observations on my belief of the demise and degeneration in the art of conversation and communication in general.

I do hang out with a few of my friends when I can but due to the fact that I travel around a lot (we all live in a global community) it's not possible to just pop in for a cuppa and a chat with most of them. If I'm ever in their area I always try to make an effort and visit the friends that make me feel welcome in their homes.

So after thinking lots about how things have progressed for the worse with regard to communication in the outside World, I have decided that i would like to change things on the inside World, one of the reasons I shine a bright ray of happiness on this platform every day.

One of my skills is that I am a qualified laughter yoga teacher and really love to laugh (the Skype laughter club's great btw😉) and i don't take life too seriously either, none of us get out at the end alive 😊
Happy days while we're here 😄

When I’m having a get together, my guests leave there phones in there cars. We always have a fun evening filled with meaningful conversations. This tradition was implemented after one day I walked into the room and saw this99A0329C-6818-4D3F-AA24-B0F1F8283EEA.jpeg

Thanks for sharing the photo @budhunter
I have seen kids arguing online together on messenger in the same room!!

I agree. A lot of supposed actual friends are on facey but they are too lazy or busy to take time. Yet I met an awesome woman in America on Instagram and she actually sends me presents on my bday. We send each other little voicemails because of the time diff. I think you actually have to make a conscious effort to pop in and see people face to face. If anyone actually calls me tho I panic and think its an emergency!!

Isn't it such a wonderful thing when human beings connect in the way you have just written @riverflows like you way you connected with a kindred soul on instagram 😊

Yeah its lovely. She just messaged me to say that she is doing her yoga teacher training because she met me and I inspired her. So cool. And I met you too xx
