The Heart of Communication

I've thought a lot recently about communication and how we talk with those close to us. What happened to conversation and phone calls? There nearly non-existant nowadays. In the mass of texts, IM, Facebook, Twitter... Even blogging! we seem to have lost that real communication.

When was the last time you had a heart-to-heart conversation with someone close to you? When did you call someone you care about but can't see cause they are too far or they just weren't there? In this age of technology and instant relpy, we seem to have lost the fundamentals that have made us who we are. Socially, people are inhibited by the fact that they do nothing but rely on technology.

I personally miss long conversations that could take hours over the phone, or in person, as they have now been replaced by a mass of bits and characters.

So think about how you communicate your love to those around you. If they really matter, can't you tell them that in person? Try being a person, not just the controller for a change. It's better to see their face when you tell them something like that :)
