Living With Anti-Histamine...

Assalamu'alaikum and Peace In! (is there such a word?)

11 weeks of practical in a hospital and living in a doctor's house has taught me 1 lesson...
When you're sick, take some drugs...
Before this (before the 11 weeks), I rarely take any drug whenever I'm in pain...

"You have a second-hand nose"
This comment always being thrown at me by my family members...
This is because my nose is super sensitive...
I can easily catch a cold, sneeze etc...
So, during my 11 weeks in my auntie's house (she's a doctor, by the way),
I took an anti-histamine drug almost every morning...
Whenever I had a headache, I'll have some Paracetamol...

I don't like the idea of using drugs all the time we got sick...
I don't want my immune system to be pampered too much...
I want it to be strong...
And I don't want to develop anti-histamine, Paracetamol-dependence...

Speaking of addiction and dependence,
some people can't live without some things...
Money, life partner, car, hand phones etc...

Let's talk about hand phones or mobile phones if you like...

Long ago, in a land faraway,
Before Nokia 3310 was invented, in fact, before the ancestors of mobile phones comes to existence,
humans live in harmony with the animals, trees, etc...
Fixed-line phone is the main mean of communication...
You don't bring your phone to your workplace, or anywhere but your house...
You won't have to worry about this and that...
Life's simple...

But now, if you left your mobile phone in your house, or you have misplaced it,
you'll be worried like hell (this is just a typical exaggeration of mine)
You can't think properly...
You feel that something is not right...
Is this true?

That's just an example...
Humans have evolved into a species too dependent on technology...
Technology is beneficial...But we mustn't overuse it...

I recently heard an old song from my dad's laptop...
"In the Year 2525" by Zager and Evans...
Its a nice simple song about the future of mankind...
But not all is correct...but still, it's a nice song...and creative...
