In an age dominated by the digital and virtual connections, our human bonds are at risk of losing their warm, intimate essence. While technology and social networking promised to bring us closer, it’s become an ironic twist of fate as we grapple with a sense of isolation and longing. Despite the leaps and bounds technology has brought to our lives, it’s left a void, a yearning for genuine bonds and meaningful dialogue. Caught in a cycle of endless scrolling, swapping and tapping, we seek affirmation in virtual likes, neglecting the nuanced richness of our real-world relationships. The relentless chase for online recognition has left us adrift, longing for a return to authentic human experiences. Meanwhile, the financial system failed to address widening wealth disparities, intensifying the struggles faced by ordinary individuals. And amidst the relentless grip of the global pandemic, which has cast a shadow of uncertainty over our lives, and the ceaseless turmoil of ongoing conflicts, our sense of profound loneliness and vulnerability has only deepened, seeping into the very fabric of our existence.
