When contemplation goes silent..

![211AB33F-05B7-41AB-8EC4-5358D04F7C1A.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXQYgVBsewy8P5mVFTyNAfqe5rGu13YtLccKimY1FnSNH/211AB33F-05B7-41AB-8EC4-5358D04F7C1A.jpeg)

Why does it sometimes feel like time goes by quickly, or super slow. Perhaps there comes a point in the evening when it’s just time to shut off.

The advent of mobile technology has been a blessing and a curse on human civilization. Why bother going through the many meme’s, allegories, philosophies etc etc on how these things are good and bad.

You see, I had just finished writing about 3 or 4 paragraphes of a controversial subject. I was even prepared to get some flags over it due to its “sensitive nature”. Yes, I was ready to risk offending someone.

Then of course like many electronics do, my phone decided to behave on its own, and the iPhone key-board suddenly decided to wipe out everything I had written. I was lulled into a false sense of security when it has said “draft saved”, only to refresh to a blank screen.

Oh well, it is the finger of G-D and I accept it. Perhaps it was his way of telling me to keep this particular opinion to myself. Oh well, looks like it’s time for ice cream.

Perhaps had you published that, this post would not be.  Sometimes our higher power is trying to tell us something.   Enjoy the ice cream.  Thanks @bearbear613
