Our Freedom has Surely Increased but Our Awareness hasn’t

We didn’t have Facebook in the past, but we had peace. Nowadays, people can’t even sit for sometime without checking Facebook notifications and updates. They can’t even sleep properly if they don’t see people’s statuses, bitch about various things and answer to people’s comments.
What do people do nowadays? Whatever the news is, whatever incident is, the first thing they do it post them on Facebook, whether positively or negatively. And a lot more people got hold of the information in moments. A relationship of so many days just got destroyed in a blow of air with a stupid comment!

This is how we are destroying our own peace. At the same time, increasing the hostility, fraud and deception among familial relationships. Our freedom has certainly increased but not our awareness. Hence, our human qualities are getting ruined because of this restlessness.
