Most are connected virtually by social networking websites / apps. There are numerous quotes posted by public, friends in various social media like FB, Google+, Watsapp etc... Mostly these are read, liked, forwarded and sometimes added with comments like "wonderful", "superb", "nice".
Why do most forward such quotes? Is it to promote good?
Psychologically humans earn for attention & appreciation. With less personal talks and more text messages the way to gauge both are by the number of likes & comments. By forwarding one gets attention, appreciation and gets their presence known within their circle of friends. Those liked are forwarded, but wonder how many remember, take note of these quotes, proverbs, ideologies and try to follow in daily life?
Human mind registers in memory only those that are familiar, liking and reiterated. This is general memory pattern. In today's tight & busy world most read and are eager to move to the next post. The average attention span on a web page is around 8 seconds (Source: National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine, The Associated Press). This pattern makes it less effective to get registered deep in the mind. If not deeply registered, changes in human pattern becomes difficult to be achieved. Another downfall is multi window & multi tasking, which even makes this worse.
Beyond all this constraints, one can do it if there is patience& sincere appreciation. With these those read and forwarded can be followed which will make the world we live in be less egoistic, jealous, greed, deception and with better relationships.
