Lacked of Personal Touch and Care

Tweet

I remember the homily in today's lunchtime mass. Before ending his homliy, the priest told us the story of a mother telling him that she made an everyday communication with her daughter through facebook. Nowadays, technology advancement and social networking is everywhere, I could not help but to think that just like you and me we are caught unaware that most of our times are spent in this kind of stuffs. The priest is right in saying that nowadays we lacked of personal touch and care even into our own family. We can say that it will rain when the cloud is so dark and things like these we can predict what will happen next. But when it comes to dealing with people around us we oftentimes clueless of what he or she is into. He then mentioned that we named the typhoons but in hospital we named the patients according to their bed numbers. And what strikes me the most is the story of a family with 5 kids. When the father was asked about the name of the third child, he look into his wife and took him awhile before saying the child's name. The reason was they called the kids in numbers 1 to 5. So we see in here that our personal touch and involvement became lesser nowadays. Though I must say that these social networking have their advantages as well, but we should not forget that we still needs to deal our lives in a more personal way.
