I don't care about you, but I want you to think I care about you. This is how I feel when I receive thousands of Eid-congratulatory messages on WhatsApp and other social media ... One message to thousands of people, what do you think I feel after this message? not Thing. Literally not Thing. I did not feel connected or social, I did not feel special to you, because you did not mention my name even in the letter, and the message itself was not from your words, because I know you well and you do not recite poetry or say this rhyming speech.

What's Up

If you really matter to you, why don't you pick up your phone and call me? Why don't you come to visit me? If you really care about me and do not have time to make you come to visit or you do not have the money to make you speak with me, send me a real message for me alone, and tell me in person in your personal words that you congratulate me and wish me a Happy Eid and ask about my children and mention their names to me. Make me feel that I am human and not just a name on your family or friends list. And if our knowledge is superficial, there is no need from this letter because it did not increase our relationship and did not make us closer. We all know how I sent it, and you may not know that I am in the list that was originally sent to it.

Do you know what I'm feeling? I feel that the more technology penetrates our lives, the less humanity becomes, and we become less communicative, more violent and evil. I remember the past while holding my grandfather's hand and we would go to a family member to sit with him for only five or ten minutes, to move to the next quickly, just to congratulate them on the Eid. This was really social communication. Therefore, when there is distress, you see everyone gathered around you in distress as you gathered with them in joy. This is social media, not WhatsApp.

This is social media, not WhatsApp.

Tell us, dear brother, are we really exaggerating, or is this the bitter reality?
