Talk or not talk?

Nouman Ali Khan's lectures are really astounding! I mean, he always relate it with issues that I admit, I also have that particular problem haha.. One of the thing that I would like to highlight is when he mentioned about wasting time. There are two ways of wasting time which are in term of speech that has no benefits at all and doing other things that also have no benefits.

Speech in other words are like chatting, small talk or just cracking jokes. It's ok when the jokes aren't too lengthy but it's a problem when I'd spent half an hour on it. Then, when I hang out with friends or just went back home, the journey I made is already a waste of time. Well, all I did was either listening to music or I just staring on my shoes. I'd probably memorized the pattern of it already haha..

Another problem he addressed was on the 'virtual reality' that we spent so much time with it. I like it when he said that "I got e-mails from men and women that I have no idea of who wanted to be friends with me on facebook. I don't want to be your friends on facebook, leave me alone!" Somehow, I agreed that not all 'friends' in fb are really my friend, especially when they used nicknames instead of real names which is even more confusing.

To take out this virtual reality is definitely a challenge since hardly a day went by without me checking my emails or fb. hm.. The best I can do is not too spent too much time on it. It's best that I refrain myself from engaging with useless talk too. Honestly, it gonna take a lot of effort. ~_~
