There is so much more to life than technology. For thousands of years, humanity has existed without the newfound obsessive tick for connectivity that technology has created.

We use technology, cell phones especially, as a means of escape. Whether it is intentionally or subconsciously, we replace fully immersing ourselves into the world around us with living vicariously through the screen. So we do not feel as deeply as we are capable of feeling. We live two-dimensionally, becoming desensitized to every sensation except a buzz or notification and the rift it creates inside of us. We all want to feel alive, but without our natural curiosity paired with ACTION, we can never be satisfied. Satan knows this and cons us into believing that such pitiful practices involving social media and electronic communication are more important than creating real, tangible relationships with those we can connect with face-to-face in mortality.

We are placed on earth to be experience life firsthand so we can discover the intensity of feeling things so ardently. Our distracted state of mind is a tool the adversary uses that so easily besets us all--we revert back to a familiar state of being. If we take Bednar’s advice and protect our minds from the numbing work of Lucifer, we will learn as intensely as we were destined to.
