It
all began when we went to my grandma's house one time, our dad and mom noticed
that my brother and I were spending more of our time playing our gadgets than talking to our grandmas. And this incident didn’t go well with
them. When we were on our way home, they talked to us about the way gadgets stole
our time that was supposed to be spent with our loved ones especially to our grandmas.
And that’s the big
reason why the “No Gadget Rule” was given to us especially when we visit our relatives or we have visitors to entertain.
Have you heard about the
saying that "Time is Precious"? Well that relates with the way how we spent our
time with our loved ones like our parents, grandma, grandpa, or anybody that is
close to our hearts, because we all won't live forever. Especially with
our elders because some of them maybe gone soon. Like my grandpa whom I
loved most, I am glad I have spent a lot of time with him more than I have
spent time with my gadgets whenever we visited him. I would have lost a lot of
precious memories with him if I wrongly chose to consume myself with my
gadgets. Gadgets, TV shows will always be there, but our loved ones will not. Let's not be like a water bear, they exist on our planet but you won't notice nor feel their existence. May we not just exist, instead, may our existence be felt by the people around us. So put your phone down and instead make an
effort to create a lot of memories with your loved ones! Let your existence be felt!
