So Close Yet So Far

Man has conquered distance like never before. The world has become a smaller place. Cell phones, chatrooms, video conferences and so on, have made communication over long distance as easy as visiting your next door neighbor. To have a conversation with a friend or relative half way across the globe is not an issue anymore.
There was a time though when communication was very difficult. Even over shorter distances. Even an urgent message would travel only as fast as the fastest horse or pigeon could. Or feet even. To have a conversation in person with a loved one or anyone for that matter, meant having to spend days of travel on horseback. Distances mattered and were of concern to many.
However, comparing the difference in relationships back in those days and as it is today – it is more than obvious where we stand. Inspite of the difficulties people faced back then, there was more genuine love and humanity then than there will ever be today. We are now living in an era where one has to watch out for betrayal and deceit coming even from within the family.
The big question is ‘Why’. Why is it that when technology has brought people closer together, it has corrupted their hearts?

.... will complete this when I get the time!
