Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

We took our baby grandson to a park and he "talked" all the way.  This verbalizing is pretty adorable, and I respond as if I understood what he is saying.  He's very social, and smiley as well.  All of our grandchildren are supersocial and verbal, and this one clearly will be as well.  It's amazing to witness this growth of a baby, and how insistent they are on connecting with other people.  We are meant to be connected and responsive to others.  Anything else is an aberration.  And I'm convinced that the technological world is not satisfactory for our interconnection.  So what will happen?  Will we have more and more lonely people, more Eleanor Rigbys?  It's sad to be shut off from "seeing" people literally.  A need that is primal and basic is not being met.  These children want to touch, feel, see and be in the same room, not with devices, but other beings.  They will suffer greatly if they don't.
