    You hit the nail on the head. Unfortunately those with a hammer think every problem is a nail.
- Hey, thanks for stopping in and taking a read; I didn't think people were thumbing through the numerous pages on my blog to read an entry from back in the day.

Apparently, engaging conversation with fellow humans requires an understanding in both sociology, psychology, and the like in order to communicate in a manner that's remotely close to resembling a 5th grade level. Alas, it's the lack of exchange that has also tempered my once enjoyable sessions. It seems now most of my entries are creatively passing thoughts in the wind when I ever feel so poetic to do so.

Feel free to drop in, but not sure how many more thought provoking entries I can provide unless I do get a muse to stir my creative loins.

M~

    Bravo! Perfect example ... while in Amsterdam a month ago we went to an old guild weighing station that had been re-utilized into a restaurant and next to us a young Asian couple were having dinner.

    Neither one of them spent more than 5 minutes talking or looking at one another because their faces were buried into their cellphones.

    And then when it came time to may the young man's card was declined and she had to pay. I don't know about you, but in MY day that would have been "No second date for you!"

    Granted I'm making assumptions because they looked like they were on a date, but I could be mistaken, they might have been married, or already a couple, still it was ... astounding.

    And yet that is what our world has transformed into.
- Yes, our world is now smaller and confined to the idea of social media driven individualism and isolation contained within the reach of cell phones and other technological advances.

Your assumption carries some merit, just unfortunate we all could be right about where this is headed.

Thanks for your comment

- I think there's a miscommunication between people who don't let others in, it's just the state of mind most individuals are now especially in this day and age. Too bad too considering the fact most people are good in the way they act and behave. It's important to continue the art of conversing with live people face to face in a manner that is presented by the Golden Rule. No matter who the person is, each deserve the respect from another, even when it comes to the simplicity of conversation.

    amen Cookie ....yes the true art of conversation is becoming a truly lost art . I like darling Annette do not own a cell phone . I often wonder why texting became so popular ...after all what you are using to text on can actually be used to call someone , hear an actual voice , and not have to fight with the tiny keypad . Omg and imagine if you actually called instead of texting you could hear the inflections of their voice and would know if they were happy or upset .

    I think technology is killing human contact ...instead of making it easier to reach out and touch someone ....it is making it easier to crawl deeper into isolation

    excellent post sweets
- Unfortunately, for my job Honey, a cell phone is needed to quickly convey messages to the necessary people. However, it's also turned into a cow bell we as a society have crutched on for way too long. The art of conversation is simply lost on those who aren't opening mouths or their minds to the idea of engagement requires moving lips and having a thoughtful articulation of an idea to move the conversation along. Until that happens, the continuity of such conversations will go the way of handwriting personal written letters.

    It's sad but true. I've recently joined a support group, thinking it would be a way to make some friends since I'm still very new to the area and haven't really met anyone here. When I arrive at the group, every time, no one is talking, their noses are stuck in their cell phones, texting, reading or playing games. When the meeting ends folks may linger a bit, but usually everyone just leaves, so much for group support. Funny the best friend I made in the area was found on this website. I didn't find love but I did find a girl to have lunch with about once a month.
- Haha, I love the irony at it's best! While I was vacationing in Miami, I ran into a shopkeeper who simply told me I wouldn't get by being shy as I eyed a few of the beauties on the beach. It's good advice to behold in a society with noses stuck to the screens of one's cell phone.

As always, you are a welcomed sight

    You are so right. One of the things that got my attention about my partner that I met on here is that he typed real sentences in the email exchange phase and when we exchanged phone numbers, he called rather than texted. This led to some lengthy conversations before we ever met. Not many men do that now days. Thanks for the post.
- That's another thing, the lack of grammatically correct sentence structure leading to haphazard writing and no responsibility. But as long as people enable the text-speak, then it will continue at an alarming rate.

It wouldn't be so bad if the translating it was a little more say, clear cut.

Thank you for visiting!
