Not every child is brilliant in academics. Not every child dreams to be become a doctor, engineer, scientist. Does it means their life over? No, definitely not. They might become singers, dancers, actors, youtubers. Not every one is destined to have the same destiny as the other ones. YouTube has made lives of many people.

However, this is only the half part of the story. I wish the other half was this beautiful but unfortunately it is not. The rise of social media has also lead to a lot of mental problems like depression, anxiety, cyber bullying and crimes like cyber crimes. Everyone’s life is different in some ways or in many ways but we choose to have the same recipe of good life as the other person’s. This leads to inferiority complex. People spend more time over the internet, straining their eyes and compromising on their physical health.

Both virtual and real worlds are beautiful. It only depends upon how we live in them. Logical thinking before every action is very important.
