Our lives have come a long way from the Stone Age, and we are quite thankful for the various technological advancements that have brought us so far. We still have a long way to go, but the place we are right now is quite commendable too.
However, is everything about our life right now quite perfect, just as what we wanted? No! We have had to pay the price. And, we are paying the price even right now as we speak. One of the most important prices we have had to pay for our technological progress on this planet is that we do not have time right now to take care of ourselves. We are so worked up, literally, with the various devices we have created that our own lives have taken a backseat.
We do not know where we are headed, and though the path ahead of us looks quite bright and promising, there is always the nagging apprehension that our bodies may not be up to that place when the time comes. It is possible that our bodies will bail out on us even before we reach that promised stage in humankind where everything would be at its optimal best.
Our lives have become so busy right now that we do not find time to take care of our bodies. We have become chair bound. Most of our work life is spent sitting in a single room on a chair. Everything is quite all right, but the lack of good exercise is surely taking its toll on us. We have become chair bound, but that has almost debilitated us.
