Life is a play of fools. And it is becoming more so. Our emotions and characters are increasingly being limited to what the FB and the Gmail allow us to type using the characters. Only one single standard happy smiley. No variations. Wouldn't this affect our normal interactions too? Man is an animal with an infinite number of emotions and states of mind. And the computers are making our expressions 'limited'.
How do you express the emotion when the first raindrops after a long hot summer land on you as you are going to an important meeting? Annoyed but still enjoying the sweet smell of earth as it regains its ability to breathe life back into the dormant, forgotten seeds hidden in its womb?
Or when you hear a sweet slow melody quite accidentally when you were tired beyond imagination? A melody so sweet that you leave the work for the report to be submitted to your boss the next day and just lie down, listening to it, savouring every note?
The joy when you read a beautiful poem, the happiness when the first dish you cook alone comes out fine, the taste of fresh mango juice - can we express these in words? If you can, you are either a genius or a total moron.
Why let characters limit our emotions? Life is much more than symbols. It is more about the memories, the mistakes, the little joys and the laughs, the cries and the blushes than about colons, semicolons and brackets. So, instead of reading this, go out and get a life!
