A philosophical piece of poo!

It’s a lovely day in Cape Town and I’ve just been to the mall during my lunch hour to catch up on some shopping.

 

I decided to buy some lunch and while I was sitting by myself enjoying my mcDo...er....veggie salad, I looked around and what did I see?

Half the people having lunch enjoying, laughing, chatting and giggling bashfully with their MOBILE PHONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.....and I was one of them (ashamed)

We are definitely living in a world where we interact less with people face to face and more frequently on our phones.

While it sharpens  communication skills, at the same time we tend to miss out on interpreting all those non verbal cues which help us understand language and conversation.

 

Needless to say, it totally eliminates that AWWWKKKWWAAARRRRDDDDD silence you experience every now and again while spending time with people.

I know, that was deep right?

 

The other point I would like to make is the fact that Maslow was indeed a smart guy.

I would however like to tell Maslow he didn’t think it through thoroughly, you see in order to achieve the social stage and even stages following the third, he forgot to stress the critical importance of having fingers!!!!

How smart are you now Massie, huh?

 

Thank you and you’re welcome.

 

Please note: I am not discriminating against anyone without any fingers, this post is not for sensitive viewers and is meant to be a proverbial bunch of poop.
