Will we survive the disease of Social Media?

I woke up at 10 and even before i could open my second eye my hand reach out to my phone to see who has commented on my last Instagram post or whether my pseudo girlfriend had texted me back or not! This is a vicious cycle in which we all are trapped. it feels good when we read about freedom and how to be more productive but we are not free, we are trapped and the internet has taken away our rights.

For human race repealing harm has been more important than acquiring benefits and this has been since the  stone age. We can argue with our friends that this is the age of the  internet and everything is digital in today's time but the last time we had a healthy conversation with our parents on dinner did we remember? We are so busy with our smartphone that we had for ourselves had created a virtual world. We are the king of this world and everything happens as per our whim. but this world will yield no benefit to us because this is not real.



Social Media works like dopamine. Being digital had made us more productive but this is  a myth. Going digital had cut the time that we have devoted to ourself. We are working 24*7 and in a haste just to make more money by utilising more and more time we are killing those spaces in which we use to cherish our life. Addiction is most important that had made a menace out of our life it can be an  addiction to drugs, to sex or social media. But the bigger question that we should ask is are we addicted?

Thanks to this virtual world we had found our virtual queens too. We are not bounded to have just one queen because this is not a real world. Virtual relationships and virtual life is the best part of this life. Since life had become virtual people have started comparing themselves with n-1 people living on this planet. At times we become sad because our friend who lives thousands of kilometres away just had a turkey in dinner but we are still eating vegetables. This virtual world brings its torments. We should remember just like the  applied force is directly proportional to the acceleration produces in a similar manner our mental health is directly proportional to the time we are consuming the  internet. social media makes us ungrateful to everyone because we are comparing our lives with others. 
depression, anxiety, lonliness and mental health issues are becoming increasingly common now a days. We are visiting doctor to get help but it is in our own hand to deal with it. we should remember " if once you are accustomed, then it continues".

how to deal with it? i don't know how to deal, even i am struggling but i remember my grandmother use to say block the means to evil is the best way to faraway.
