Sometimes I wonder how irrational we people are. Then I think the reason is not irrationality, it's our inborn excitement and by default attraction towards something "new". It doesn't matter whether that "new" is hazardous to our own existence and poisonous to our own souls.

Well what it costs to send an sms containing a ground breaking/ earth breaking and whatever breaking news,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, free visas to heaven and hell,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, vouchers of god's blessings and angel's curses,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, defecations of some unknown romantic poets,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, some half cooked facts,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and last but not least the filthiest expressions in the cloak of jokes.

I'm by no means against forward messaging but I really want to explore the reasons of this mechanism. Whether this is a reflection of our excitement, fears and hopes or it's just a senseless hobby which has seized the brains of our juveniles to think that what are they actually doing???????

I've no data about the daily waste of the nation's time and money on this useless activity but the rapid blinking of my own mobile is inconceivable for my mind and to some extent representative of the present gregarious efforts of our society.

As I said earlier I really want to explore the mechanism, there arises two other thing which are more pathetic:

1) I recently learned from someone about the internal and external factors of human existence, and after some deliberation I concluded that external factors of existence are just the manifestation and reflection of your inner self. In a mirror you see your physical reflection while these types of communication actually expose your mental reflection. From a whole lot of messages you choose particular messages and forward them..............

Manifestations of our hopes, our humor, our fears, etcetera,

This actually manifests in which class of persons you fall and the horrible thing is that these communications doesn't belongs to you and still they become a part of your personality. And then we actually start moving our personality towards these types of things.

True behaviorist approach in contrast of cognitive thinking!!!!!!!!!

2) The next thing is; it actually put barriers in our real communication with each other. A friend of mine has been sending me these types of messages for three months continuously, and then he came to Lahore I met him and said:

 "Such a long time, I hear from you!!!!!"

He just shocked and told me that I sent you messages daily, and then I said:

“No buddy! I was receiving messages from some kind of machine or whatever thing it was, at least it was not you"

 I just couldn't tell him that....... “Bro!!! I’d spent lot of time with you, was there some deficiency in our interaction that you couldn’t reproduce a single memory????”
