Even hearts became of metal…

Because we use so much technology to make our lives easier, these days, instead of doing that, the machines are making our lives harder, even if we don’t realize it.

The number of machines has grown, but our minds are more astray. Indirectly, the machines have started to control our lives, because we rely on them for a very large number of activities.

With all this cold technology surrounding us, our conscience isn’t cultivated anymore. At least not at the same degree that it was 150 years ago for example. Back then people used to work with animals and were more merciful, they had warmer hearts. If one would have loaded too much weight onto his animal, the poor creature would have bent under the pressure and the man would have felt mercy.

These days it’s a completely different story. When something breaks down, we don’t bother too much, we know that it can be fixed; and if it can’t be fixed it ends up being thrown away and nobody cares about that. We just buy a new one and pretend that everything is okay.

Well, not everything is okay, since our hearts are used less and less with the passing of time. This way, today’s society cultivates selfishness and individuality. Nobody thinks of helping other people. And even though not all selfishness is bad, the selfishness that today’s world is encouraging is not justified.

Altough we can’t throw away or stop using all the tech stuff that is said to make our lives easier, there are a quite a few things that we can do to prevent us from falling too deep in the selfishness trap.

• Respond to your friends e-mails and calls more quicly.
• Commit one selfless act every day. A selfless act is acting to benefit others at the cost of your own wants and needs. Don’t be scared, it will actually help you way more than it helps them.
• Enroll in a volunteering service. People who do charitable work suffer less illnesses and have better immune functions. It seems that God intend us to thrive if we’re not too selfish.
• If you live with your parents, try to wake up before them (at least a day per week) and prepare them cofee and breakfast. If you’re not living with your parents, you can still do this, but the target of the action would be whoever you’re living with.
• Adopt and raise a pet. It’s both nice and fun.
• Help others. Not just your family and friends but any other person who is in need of help.
• Try to appreciate the view points, concerns and needs of the people around you.
• Try to give more instead of trying to gain more.
