Cell phones and the emotionally needy
I soooooo hate cell phones and I am not a fan of those who
simply must have one attached to themselves 24/7 … from senior citizens in church, who just have to have their cell phones with them during Mass and turned on, to parents who give their 7 year old or
younger cell phones.
And let me no get into those who constantly text on their
phone …
I work with mostly younger people (well actually everyone at
work, I am the only one who refuses to bring their cell on the work site) all
the other employees do have their cells with them and whenever there is a lull
in work they are on their phones… I watch them and they are like “islands”
never talking to each other, just with their heads down reading texts or
sending them … this is true in homes as well… my own family does this … they
never shut off their phones and they are always on them … so why even visit
them?
Human relationships and interactions are being destroyed, via a computer
with a ring tone.
I see this constant cell phone usage as being an emotional crutch
for those who cannot amuse themselves or form close personal relationships, or
those who just have a desperate need to be “important” and over share in life.
The real strength in life is in silence … in meditation and
prayer the separating of self from all the chaos in the world … such as just
sitting in front of the Tabernacle and being still (no cell phone needed) … God
speaks to the heart and in silence …
This constant use of cell phones is causing real injuries to
people, this includes those who do not use one … live close to a cell tower and
you are being bombarded with their signals, which in some cases has caused
cancer … and with the new 5 G signal this has only gotten worse …
Get off your phones talk face to face to people and talk to
God.
