RE: All Kids Need Freedom as Much as They Need Boundaries: EcoTrain's Question of the Week - Kids and Smartphones

in #ecotrain7 years ago

I actually did not have a Smartphone until 2016, I was 26 years old at that Point. I was just fine without it up until that Point, but once I had one, I was actually scared by how dependend and almost addicted I got to that Thing in no time.

In fact, that still scares me to this day, especially looking back at it.

A couple weeks ago, I heard a great Phrase somewhere, it said that "Rules do not exist to bind you. They exist so you may know your freedoms."

I can see why this sounds unappealing to some, but the more you think about it, the more reasonable it becomes.

Smartphones are absolutly useful devices and I am glad that I have one, it has been helpful in many a case, but as any luxury Item, it should be used in modesty.

I totally agree. I really love this quote:

"Rules do not exist to bind you. They exist so you may know your freedoms."

It's like you don't know light without darkness, sickness without health. We do live in a dualistic world. however, the dualisms allow us to understand more about the world we live in, so though we can go 'man, i wanna be freeeeeee', we have to realise why boundaries might exist in the first place - specifically, as educative tools.

thanks ever so much for your great comment!!
