Human Relationships and the fixing Fingers

The twenty first century has seen a substantial change in its societal architecture . Growth and development have carried the homosapiens to an altogether different planet , where an infant's umbilical chord is separated from the body to be preserved in a bank for its stem cells. The old granny's theory of planting it underneath the soil to protect the child from evils has gradually found its way into burials. An eighty year old too has a bunch of futuristic plans, participates in marathons, feels the exhilaration in winning Candy crush and purchases a new automobile.  Its not unusual when a twenty something is treated by a pediatrician as the youth of 25 is considered to be in the extended childhood of modern age. Forties are the throwback twenties and fifties the throwback thirtees . Squads and planks mark the beginning of the day of a sixty year old. On the contrary , the computer era has brought youngsters to the cervical belts that embrace their tender neck to provide relief from some posture borne disease,  called spondylitis. A teenager  suffers from tennis elbow and hypertension. 

I don't say that progress in science and technology shouldn't be appreciated,  rather it must reach the stage where death becomes a mere sleep , after which we wake up afresh to lead life again. It sounds a little hypothetical now but one day the God particle will bring this to a  reality. 

Apart from  the above mentioned rearrangements ,technology has redefined and remodeled human relationships . Birtbdays mean the number of texts on the Facebook or Twitter timelines , tags in the Instagram feed and stories and midnight conference calls by friends , birtbday bangs on the bump . Weddings happen only to be broken or to be kept with a thousand compromises.  Love is merely an interpretation of sex and Buddha's middle path is implemented to convince people by the newest bond of the century  termed as "living relationships".  Platonic love is renamed as "Friends zone " , even if its of the highest order and break up is the easy solution to all the lovestruck hearts yearning for solace. Tears are merely some drops of liquid with salty taste and they flow naturally from the lacrymal glands. There ain't an unusual element in sobbing , its the truth of life, not to be taken seriously. Women are now empowered and fashion isa  tailored  with the fine fabric of Feminism . Still hearts break and the men take the lead in deciding the dog and don'ts of a woman's life . 

This is how amidst weak threads of relationship ties our fingers became mightier. They have gained the maximum strength with the discovery of gadgets , appliances and compliicated electronic systems. A three year old tiny toddler  gains expertise in playing with the fingers and on the tiny clicks create wonderful images and bitmojis . Snapchat filters have replaced the teddies and lovers separate over minor issues like friending unfriending, following, unflowing , commenting, liking, disliking and deleting. " Silence speaks better than words " but nowadays status updates speak more and conversations are vanishing. Incommunicado feeds ego and words become the reason of separation.
Human relations have become too sensitive and managing life, love and bonds are controlled by the mighty fingers . These mighty parts of human body , not only govern life but also send waves of pleasures as and when required by the mortal beings. Fingers fix relationships and destroy them within seconds , as if these tender ties are on a seat of a bombshell that explode any moment into the remnants of love and affection.

THINK BEFORE YOU PRESS THE WRONG BUTTON. LET FINGERS NOT BE MIGHTIER THAN YOU.
