What if you know you’ll lose the memories of your moments, 3 years after you lived them? Would that change the way you live? Would you force yourself to live more in the moment?
While I think we would all like to say “Yes”, to this question, I also think that we try to escape our responsibilities, or the rules of life. That’s why cigarettes are so popular even though we know they cause cancer.
It’s not that we don’t know; it’s not that we don’t have proof, but either because it’s an addiction or because we don’t want to admit it, we continue smoking.
The same goes with smartphone addiction, or with similar examples.
Knowing something doesn’t grant us the ability to judge clearly, to take the “right” decision.
