I still remember the day I got an iPad. It was an iPad mini. September 2014. I just had got the latest Samsung galaxy phone and already had an iPad. Played games on the ipad sometimes. I had seen friends posting pictures on Facebook of their latest phones and tablets. I had also read about a man who sold a kidney to buy an ipad. And here I was with the latest phones and tablets and denying to use anything. Mid 20s but I was behaving like an old man who would say that there are more important things in life.
My reaction was to burst into tears inside. no not tears of joy. My thought was on the people who made these phones and on the millions of hungry people. Was it recyclable ? Why are we buying so much stuff which we may discard after a few years ? The manufacture of these devices and all the related processes had provided many with an income. Yes. But did I deserve all these luxuries. My answer to myself that I did not. I had a strong urge to leave everything and go into social service. I needed to make the world a better place but well without offending anyone i have grown up with. I think I delved into depression that day.
How many people get depressed when gifted with an iPad or iPhone ? Well that was me and my answer to this was : this was not what I needed ! I deserve a simple life (talking as a spoilt brat whose parents had worked so hard). What is simple ? Well a question to which I myself could not give an answer to.
All that I know is that I am typing this from the large screen phone which was gifted to me and in which I regularly check the pictures of latest cars.
