Books Vs Social Media

Making her understand about reading the book and helping her out to get out of the phone addiction was a task. It seems like there was a war between social media and the books.

Let's start the tour between a book addicted person and social media addicted person.

It was a day when I was walking on the road and I come towards a person who was continuously engaged with the phone. Year ago, People were not that much attached to social media, they were having their own space and they were being social with people. And suddenly I stopped my steps to observe the world around me whose whole life was in just a small device call "Mobile Phone". And I remembered a few days ago talking with my friend who came to me as she was depressed. The reason was just that she was not getting more likes and followers on Instagram. At that moment I got devastated as I never thought our world will get so changed and get affected by social media.

I picked my Phone to call her and I explained that Social Media is just an illusion to get distracted by others. As we all know that Books have been best friends of many and to be honest it's the best friend of mine too. Books help us to get explore in the world full of imagination. Getting fully detach with the world of like and comment makes me know the power of book as they have always been the reason to make me learn more rather than to develop the mind in one direction.

I showed her the whole scenario of books and she asked the question, don't you get bored in reading the small fonts and thick books?

Short fonts and more pages never came in my mind when I started reading one page and the pages got shorter and shorter when I read more. Reading thick novel can be considered as an excuse for me as there are many generics in the Novel which will make us read more and more.

Start reading a generic which you love to read and select a novel which is short in pages so that you can complete your task and you will feel good.

And the difference lies between you and me is that when you get more likes and comments a chemical release from your mind which makes you feel good, though it’s not that effective to compare this, when we complete our novel and start reading another the pleasure we feel cannot be expressed.

Making her understand about reading the book and helping her out to get out of the phone addiction was a task. It seems like there was a war between social media and books.

So eventually I gave her a small novel “Girl Boss” which was very positive and it has chapters which tell us about the management system which we should do in our lives and how a girl can be a boss was all about. I just told her to read one chapter but in 5 days she completed a whole book. Wasn’t it interesting?

A girl who’s 7-8 hours were spend in social media completed a book in 5 days. She started asking me more about novels and started reading many novels day by day.

I was happy as I helped her to get out from the social media and the war I won gave me more confidence to make the world better and make them understand the importance of Book!

What is your opinion: Books are more helpful or Social Media for your life? Which is healthier For you?
