Digital Life

Every time something new gives me a different feeling, such a change may awaken the eternity rooted in my heart. I changed my phone, and when I set the alarm clock every night, I looked at the display
“Alarm clock time now……”, just a simple subtraction, suddenly gave me such a clear idea of the number of hours I sleep every day.
Day by day, the mobile phone dutifully tells me how much sleep I have every day. Over time, the comparison of one more point and one less point does not give me peace of mind.
A watch that has not used hands for a long time, on the wristnike-plusThe slightly faded red color shows its close relationship with me. On the shelf, the three watches were at fixed angles, clearly telling me that they had been stopped for a long time.
Suddenly I miss the sound of the pointer ticking one by one. I always think that is the real dimension of time, not the black dots of the electronic watch that are jumping and doing the algorithm of adding one in a loop. Calculating time is not addition and subtraction, but gaze. The angle the pointer crosses is like a meteor crossing the sky, leaving such a beautiful arc……
The accuracy of the numbers brings me an inexplicable fear. Every day life seems to be chased by time, reminding me coldly of the time that has been spent and the time that will follow. I stood blankly in the middle of the road. The beating of the electronic watch made me count involuntarily, but this is actually a complementary life. When you add, you are actually subtracting.
Occasionally, someone will look at one place with expressionless eyes, muttering softly in his mouth and walking quickly by me. It is another life that cannot let go of a minute. It is so fulfilling, but have you ever seen such a beautiful rainbow in the water spray from the water pipe on the roadside?
Yes, that may not be important, but that ordinaryness is also working hard to decorate the world.
Can you not calculate your life so accurately, ignore the small differences of a few minutes and seconds, give yourself some breathing time, and let your tense nerves rest? Life is not numbers, but numbers calculate everything in life. Let all the colors and details turn into simple numbers. What you miss is the feast carefully arranged by the Creator for you.
Can you give yourself a period of time to forget time, not to calculate the so-called gains and losses, and to forget the existence of sunk costs? Do what you really like, even if it doesn't bring any specific benefits to your current life, but at least you will get happiness, and this is what you like.
Can you give yourself a state of mind to forget reality, even if it is just daydreaming? Excessive reality makes us use the simplest way to achieve our goals, but in this process, we save many little sentiments. The creation of mood is not only for others, but also for your own life.
Following your heart is true peace and tranquility.
I think it’s time to change the battery for my watch.
