Fabian's Blog

Recently, I read something on one of the blogs I follow that had something to do with the lost art of letter writing and how that person started to write a letter to a person who he misses.

Now, I whole heartedly agree that not many people take the time to write hand written letters to one another due to the email revolution which is one of the only downsides to everything and even though I am a tech guy, this saddens me. Even writing proper letters to another person via email is not the same. It lacks a certain something that only hand written letters can deliver. Due to most people being thousands of miles apart nowadays, I don’t think this is going to get any better,  it’s only going to get worse.

So what can we do? Nothing much really. Maybe write more letters to people you care about? That’s one thing. But in the end, I am clueless. Sure, I still take the time to write to people in the once lost method of letter writing to friends but even then it’s via email so it loses some of it’s power.

The only upside to this is the amount of poetry now available to everyone. It’s really amazing that there are some people out there who are so in tune with their emotions to manifest them in others through words but again, since it’s not handwritten, it probably loses some of it’s power. Probably.

I really don’t think this is something that is going to get better as time progresses but hopefully it will not be something that is lost forever.
