My mum and I are extremely similar to each other in many ways. This is not necessarily a good thing because my mum is not exactly the easiest of people. But one vital difference that I like to believe in, is that my mum cares way too much. Whereas for me, I would like to believe that I care a lot less.
In this society, it is good to not care for things that hardly matter, but only for things that mean the world to you. It's so easy to get distracted today, as new and emerging temptations arise with our developing society. Sometimes it does delude one that there are too many things to care about. And one's mind and heart get overwhelmed as a result. Not good.
I also think that we are often too trusting with things we think we can trust. Like for eg, people think that they can trust Facebook to help them "stay connected" with everyone else and have vibrant social lives. On the contrary, I think that Facebook has created a "2nd Life" for such people, as they are deluded into believing that they've got vibrant social lives. When you put such people into the real world, they will find that the person who will rescue him/her from some sort of distress may most likely be the one who does not comment on his/her facebook statuses every other hour. Or when such people are made to have real communication with real people, they probably can't go any further than, "So what did you have for lunch?"
Another thing that people trust too easily is perhaps what they see and what they hear. Most people do not understand that our eyes and ears are more deceptive than any other form of cunning. Sometimes we are just so quick to believe, too lazy to think further, and we only want to comprehend what we want to comprehend. Unfortunately at the end of the day, we become nothing but mere fools because we are unable to see things for what they really are.
