Inside Your Head

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;">I have been meaning to write a blog post for a while, but I have taken a break from my beloved laptop. There is something alluring about the internet that draws you in, slowly, click by click, page by page, causing you to submit yourself to its hold, until the day is over and you have nothing left to give. Eventually you reside inside the screen, imprisoned by your own incessant compulsion. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div align="center"><img alt="http://i4.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article1177138.ece/ALTERNATES/s510/Fireworks%2Bgo%2Boff%2Bover%2Bthe%2BOlympic%2BStadium%2Bduring%2Bthe%2BOpening%2BCeremony%2Bof%2Bthe%2BLondon%2B2012%2BOlympic%2BGames" src="http://i4.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article1177138.ece/ALTERNATES/s510/Fireworks%2Bgo%2Boff%2Bover%2Bthe%2BOlympic%2BStadium%2Bduring%2Bthe%2BOpening%2BCeremony%2Bof%2Bthe%2BLondon%2B2012%2BOlympic%2BGames" /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Upon watching the opening ceremony of the Olympics and seeing the man behind the World Wide Web, I began to ponder about what our existence would have been like without the internet. <br /><br />There would be a sense of community between ourselves and our neighbors. People would actually visit and talk to each other. We would not feel so compelled to reveal so much about ourselves, but instead would conceal and live in the privacy of our own homes. Marriages would not be destroyed, our relationships would be stronger and easier to maintain. People would have more time to read, to explore and marvel at the beauty of the earth. People would enjoy the smaller moments that build up to exhilaration. They would notice the flowers blossoming in the spring and the color of the sky at sunset. They would listen to the sound of the birds and the drops of rain against their windows. People would live their lives and comprehend what it means to truly live. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><div align="center"><img alt="http://islt2012.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/internet.jpg" src="http://islt2012.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/internet.jpg" /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The internet does have its advantages, but we have become too fixated with its supremacy, we are disregarding time, our existence, our being. The internet merely sustains but does not cultivate us. Some may argue that it can be used as a means to retain contact, reinforce relationships, thus revoking my words. It can be used as a platform to allow one to depict a different version of who they are in a way that they cannot do in person. The internet can be used as a medium to liberate oneself. It allows one to interact and connect with an international audience, but the internet has introduced a filter through which we now perceive our lives. We have fabricated concepts in our minds of which nothing in our lives can or will measure up to. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div align="center"><img alt="http://www.jwtintelligence.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/computer-class.jpg" height="473" src="http://www.jwtintelligence.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/computer-class.jpg" width="640" /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our generation is slowly losing its grasp of reality. Everything is being computerized, modernized and technology is replacing human contact. Our children will live in a world where physical presence is devalued, how will they learn about affection, warmth and love? Technology will become their parents and best friends. It will become their teacher. Their computers will nourish them, and everything will be robotized. The human heart will begin to be upheld by technology, and eventually they will find a way to immortalize their souls. Love and air will be bottled and sold, with added chemicals and artificial sweeteners. Laughter will be bought through vending machines and serenity injected into the bloodstream by a manufactured android. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><div align="center"><img alt="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/gEoUtsmRvCI-txLmiBheVjMEGyOHNYkswvLBUXIJKMc4EyMys8YWsKiQtpKQHjgAwuEdxNmB%3Ds640-h400-e365" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/gEoUtsmRvCI-txLmiBheVjMEGyOHNYkswvLBUXIJKMc4EyMys8YWsKiQtpKQHjgAwuEdxNmB%3Ds640-h400-e365" /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The internet is a revolution, but we must take time to detach ourselves from its hold and revel in who we are. Our perception of reality is already distorted by prejudice, we will lose our hearts and souls if we are not careful, we will lose our lives, let go.</div></div>

A dream I had of you

Sun felt like a dim circle circle of light hidden behind a screen of clouds. I was almost lost in all this amazing phenomena when I looked at my left and forgot about my existence, forgot everything I had been beholding just moments ago.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">What made me forget everything were your eyes, I felt like I had found a whole new world, a world where I could live my whole life in just one moment, a world where I would like to stay in forever and even after forever.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I saw a slight movement of your lips, like you wanted to say something, to say all the words that were once left unsaid. You then changed your mind and looked away at the waves which seemed quite furious at the rocks. We kept staring at the water until Sun started sinking into the West.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I felt your hand on my hand and you looked into my eyes but this time I couldn't reach the depth of the infinity in your eyes which were now guarded by shields of tears. I felt a sudden rush inside my soul to do whatever it takes to stop those tears and to never let them reach your eyes again.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKTGE75psimAiJG2TWELwiw2OLvK7mXvZvpo5N4ZqGzd9_46v_ROY3HKmagy6yKSPWjXzg-q_ikAr5ULiUnBOgoYUv-axE9qDBbfLdGciGOMuRcrzFx7oZUz9FdGRT4dfD5ZhBkWi8ibCP/s1600/tears.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKTGE75psimAiJG2TWELwiw2OLvK7mXvZvpo5N4ZqGzd9_46v_ROY3HKmagy6yKSPWjXzg-q_ikAr5ULiUnBOgoYUv-axE9qDBbfLdGciGOMuRcrzFx7oZUz9FdGRT4dfD5ZhBkWi8ibCP/s1600/tears.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I asked,'What's making you so sad?'</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You kept looking into my eyes and then said,'The time has come when we go back to the world where we are still unknown to each other.'</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Just the moment you said that, everything started to turn dark, everything disappeared and I woke up to find out that it actually was me who had tears in his eyes and..
