As a doctor, I often come across people coming to me not only with physical pain, but also with mental pain. And you know what amazes me? In a world where each of us has hundreds of “friends” on social networks and endless chats, we have begun to feel lonely more often than ever.
We scroll through the feed, put likes, write comments... but where are the real emotions? Where are those conversations after which you feel heard? Where is the look in the eyes, and not at the screen?
I myself sometimes catch myself thinking that after a whole day in the hospital, among people, I return home and find myself alone with my phone. And it's strange, right? We are so afraid of missing something online that we miss real life!
But I believe that everything can be changed. If we try to change our online communication and transfer meetings and conversations to real life! We will meet not through a monitor or display screen, but over a cup of coffee. And maybe we will try to find that very person not through algorithms, but through real emotions that touch our hearts!
