The digital web

This topic is known by everyone but nobody even tries to talk or have a conversation on it.
Why this is so I don't even understand, today we live in the 21st century but we the mindset of the 70s and 80s.
Many people have some issues regarding their mental health. "Mental Health" by using this word please don't take me wrong. Because many people think that mental health is something that is connected to madness or the unsound mind. this is the problem of our generation. They take everything lightly. If they are feeling depressed they don't even let you know about that because they think about others what other people will say about them. People don't talk much about their problems and due to that they face problems of extra thinking, sometimes it happens they get angry at others without any reasons, sometimes even a normal sound like sneezing or chewing food sounds makes them angry. They started feeling low or might have a misunderstanding about their family members that nobody cares for him, nobody loves him, and due to all these clumsy thoughts he starts making some distance between him and his family members. Due to this digital age, we all are trapped in the web of the internet, social media, and the gaming world. It is just a matter of laugh that we live in one home under one roof but then also we say good morning on WhatsApp, the home we never even utter a word for our family members, but at Facebook and Twitter, we post open letters for our dear ones. And because of all these things we get upset and happy at the same time just like Schrodinger's cat. So my point is that instead of saying the emotionless good morning on WhatsApp say good morning in real that will create a new and fresh bond between you and your dear ones.
And you know if you talk about how you are feeling? Why you get angry without any reason, share what you are going through then all your problems regarding your mental health will get vanished.
Smile like a Fountain, 
stand on your words,
like a mountain,
Raise your voice for truth,
Like an ocean and
Keep your feet on the ground,
Just like a fruitful tree standing 
On his roots.
With these words, I'll take a leave.
I hope you all will start thinking about your mental health and start living a healthy life from now.
