Did we miss anything in this modern era

 Hi, I am from Sri Lanka.

Actually, this is the first blog I write for international audience. I have little confusion about what I need to write for international audience. That's why I think to start this with sharing some of my thoughts. 

In this first article I love to share my thoughts about modern world. You may get confused how old I am while you read this because most of the people say that "Oh I cannot thing that you have such deep thoughts because you are very young." So, I should say I am in my early twenties. 

According to the majority of people who live in this world are saying that this is the most advanced age of humans. Most of them say that it is because of the technological advancements that man has made. But compliment is not correct always. I have a reason for what I am saying. As I see, along with the technological improvement of human, they have missed the spiritual improvement. 

This is just two sides of a scale. Both sides should be equal. But the problem is human have already missed the spiritual part of their lives. They only focus on technological part of the life. As I see human is a part of the nature. So, we have to stay connect with nature because human and nature is inter-connected. ignoring the spiritual part of life results in a breakdown in the connection between nature and human. And one day that breakdown cause the end of the humankind.

You may wonder why I am saying that nowadays people are only focusing on technological part. As an example, people always use technological devices. all the time. I am not saying that using devices for makes life easy is wrong. I am trying to say that as you use technological things, focus on your spiritual growth as well. 

You know there are many side effects of sticking on technological devices. But have you heard of a person who has get side effects because he/she focuses on spirituality of life??

You will ask now then how I can improve my spirituality. My answer is, there are many ways according to your country, tradition, religion or whatever philosophy you follow you can follow them. As an example, I am a follower of Buddhist Philosophy, and I do meditation. There is a way according to you. I want to say another thing with this because I have mentioned tradition. Majority of people see tradition like "oh no it is a old school thing we are in modern now etc"
But there are many things (like theories, and some other things) which we cannot rule out as oh this is traditional or old school. As a folklore researcher I have experienced many of things according to my tradition. I also wondered most of the times when I am researching about somethings. 

Btw, I want to say that there is a universal way to improve your spirituality. It is connected with the nature. So every time you can spend the time with nature. People say addiction is not good for anything, but it is good if you addict to the nature. Once you get interconnected with nature you will be able to feel extra ordinary things. You can feel every little change of the nature.  If you cannot follow a traditional way to improve your spirituality, just connect with the nature. Only thing you have to do is change the old way about your perspective of nature.
