The New Age of Going Back to the Basics
Or
The Abundant World and it’s Gifts
To understand what is in store for us in the near and distant future read on _ _ _ _
1) There was a time when festive wishes were expressed in plain handwriting text and later in typed text
2) During that time, a nice colorful image would have felt extremely innovative and valuable
3) Today the situation just just flipped
4) Every festive season our WhatsApp is inundated with hundreds if not thousands of images carrying festive seasons
best wishes
5) It has become so easy to simply forward images and people do it with impunity
6) All of a sudden a simple hand written message seems to have rediscovered it’s Value
7) Value is thus a relative thing and not something Absolute in a manner of speaking
8) The same colorful image for which one would have paid a considerable amount has become so Abundant that it has lost value
9) The same boring hand written message has become so rare that it has gained both significance and value. Send a plain typed message the next time you have to wish and you will see for yourself how the person receiving it will actually appreciate your greetings more
10) Welcome to the world of Abundance
11) Today the Poor in India are no longer sleeping hungry
