Blind? / Aveugle?

Do we rely solely on our apparatus' so much that we fail to 'see?' Have you lived in an urban area for so long that you barely think of nature? Have you given that poor fly a chance or maybe even not have panicked near a wasp or a bee? Living in a country where all the resources you would need to go back packing, RV-ing, or hiking is something to not take for granted. With the modernization of society we have made it sort of a priority to have our "smartphones" handy at all times and during challenging situation, we reason with the device, whether it be on Facebook or listening to music. We ten to do it often—so often it's like second nature to us because we do it without thought. It's time! And there still is time! Time to put down our gadgets. Time to get out of the urban area for a weekend and enjoy all the beauties and wonders of our planet. Almost three hundred years ago, people couldn't enjoy what we could, so get out there!
