I heard a remark recently and it makes great sense, I quote, We live in a world of great advances in the area of communication and technology and there is no communication on another level. We will examine this more closely, because I feel we are all the poorer. One day last week I travelled on a number of buses here in the city. On them all were passengers who exchanged no words of greeting, mobile phones ringing non stop, others listening to their own world of loud music.while others just gazed out the windows. All this adds up to lack of friendliness, no time for one another, isolation and alienation.
Progress is great, has many benefits but as a society are we losing something that money cannot buy. I have no doubt we are losing something we all aspire to, the friendly hello. It can mean so much and is never forgotten rather it is cherished and preserved. For some people it can make their day. for others a vital tonic for living daily life. As a nation we have come a long way in progess that affects every facet of life. I finish with this quotation, "No man is an island," we all need people.
