Interesting lines:
Phone is no longer a method of communicating with others, but a thread
of hope, a way of believing that you're not alone, a way of showing
others how important you are.
It was essential to receive constant stream of messages or call, to be
prepared to interrupt any conversation in order to answer a call that
was not in the least urgent, to stand keying in endless text via an sms.
They had all forgotten that these initials mean Short Message Service
and instead use the keypad as if it were a typewriter.
Some people opt for revenge and try to be really good at whatever it is
the others thought they couldn't do. "One day, you'll envy me," they
think.
Most people, however, accept their limitations, and then things tend to
go from bad to worse. They grow up insecure and obedient (although they
dream of a day when they'll be free and able to do whatever they want),
they get married o prove that they're not as ugly as other kids said
they were (although deep down they still believe they are), they have
children so that no onecan say they're infertile (even though they never
wanted kids anyway), they dress well so that no one can say they dress
badly (although they know people will say that anyway).
--> sort of trained to think that way isn't it? from WBG days... where
my big ego comes... hhmm... not sure how to reconcile with that
experience back in those days.
Life goes on...
