Why in today's era, we are very smart and intelligent but not happy. After observing so many things, we can say that there are numerous factors responsible for this. Undoubtedly, happiness comes from within, but there may be some triggers in our control that are responsible for its triggering.

One such reason behind its lacking is we, humans are totally digitalized nowadays. We have made technology our friend, or source of everything. It is good to take advantage of this technology but it is bad that technology is taking advantage of us.

Today, how many of us know our neighbor’s name?

We know that man is a social animal and we know that a few years back, there were times, when we feel relaxed and contented. We were satisfied with our lifestyles. We know that that was the time when there was no digitalization. We are also aware that most of the time, we used to sit with our neighbors and play games, chit-chat, and, much more. We were more close to our neighbors than our relatives and classmates.

But today, we don't even know the names of the person who is sitting in the home next to us. Previously, we shared the memories, but now, we are sharing the walls and those walls have become the barriers to our happiness.

When we are surrounded by people, then we lose the track of time by getting ourselves to indulge in so many activities as well as talking. But now, we are so stuck with our mobiles, laptops, and tablets, that after using them we feel anxieties also. But still, we are not realising that we need a break from the pieces of equipment and we need to get connected with the humans.

Don’t depend on pieces of equipment, equipment will not share your sorrows. Be with humans, feel the actual emotions (sadness, happiness, and more) and live.

As we are moving away from humans, we are moving away from our required hormones, and as result, we are getting lonely and depressed.

Connect with humans and feel happiness.
