Day by day I notice the world is becoming virtual

I have a garden and by all standards it does call for appreciation. In the real world I see visitors going past the garden as though they have worn blinkers but when I post images and talk about my garden in the virtual world I get appreciation and positive comments with lengthy interactions.
I wonder those who appreciate my garden in the virtual world would walk past if they saw a great garden in their real world as though they have worn blinkers?

My neighbor who lives across will ignore me if she sees me standing at the gate but she has sent me a friend’s request on Face Book!!

There is hardly anyone who visits each other these days but at an organized virtual zoom meeting their presence out there will be one hundred percent.

Why are people shy of meeting each other face to face but quite ready to have lengthy interactions online? This is not just where people are strangers to each other such as at writing sites that pay, but friends and relative also resort to this method.

Some go virtual where they get to pour out their woes with strangers which they cannot do with people who they know and perhaps this is understandable.

When it comes to face to face meetings that happens if there is an event in the family They need a crowd for celebrating the event and that is when friends and relatives are invited.
One also sees people at funerals with wreathes but I am sure they have never visited the dead person when they were alive. I was watching a video of a funeral event where there were hundreds of “mourners” and I know none ever bothered to visit when the person was sick and dying

Will the scenario ever change? Will people realize personal contacts are healthy and keep one another united through thick and thin!? Are there exceptions to this rule and there could still be some who believe in face to face interactions, visiting each others, inquiring about each other’s wellbeing creating an atmosphere of camaraderie?

As a kid I remember how close we were with neighbours helping each other, visiting each other and the children getting together during holidays spending time together playing and having fun. Will this scenario ever return?

I SEE NO HOPE.
