Posting this here because it is so incredible and truly something on which to reflect.
It is what it is.

“I literally have not been on my phone for 10 months. The difference it made was that I became more aware of the people around me and way more focused. The thing I get irritated with is when you have a meeting everyone’s on their phone – and I was probably in that place too. You can’t concentrate. It has been so good for my mental health. It’s a very strange experience but it really is good for you and it has absolutely made me happier.”

@ARYANTO It's true what he says about everyone being on their phone. What really gets me is when I'm having a face-to-face conversation with someone, but their phone, be it a call or Whatsapp, takes precedence. Excuse me, but I was here first!
Granted, there are times when you may be expecting an important call/message, but then let the other person know about the possibility of being interrupted. Or, if you think it might be important e.g. a child calling a parent, quickly explain to the other person and apologise for taking the call.
However, people don't do that. They simply stop the conversation and attend to the phone.
When that happened the other day, I just picked up my bag and left without saying a word, while the other person was replying to a Whatsapp. And she had the audacity to Whatsapp me to ask why I'd left without even saying goodbye! Oh. My. Vape.
