ok its like the 21st century... gone are the old days of having the only means of communication is drumming between tribes, or pigeons, or telegraph lines and such.. now its more than just telephone lines, power lines, fiber optic lines.. its satellite, infrared, radio waves, microwaves and such.. meaning, communicating among one another is no longer a weekly affair but in fact, a daily sometimes to some extend a hourly, a minutely affair..
press of a button on your cellie and you have your mum on the other line nagging at you to come back home for dinner.. now specially on the topic of cellphone or handphones..well ppl call/ sms you.. you sms/call ppl.. now the qn in mind is, let say, a msg or a missed call.. to reply back to them, is it an entitlement or a priviledge for the sender?
meaning what? meaning if let say, person A send a sms/ called but missed called to a person B, is it an entitlement or a privilege of person A for person B to reply back the sms or call back A.. entitlement means, its a must..person A has all the rights to get a sms back or a call back.. the fact that it is NOT DIFFICULT at all to do just that, there shouldnt be any excuse..a sms is like 5 cents if not free, a call if its not part of the free outgoing, would last you like the most 30 secs with a "hey sorry cant talk right now, sorry, later etc"
of course, privilege means, its not a must.. whether person A get any response from B, is entirely up to B to decide.. sometime can sometime cannot.why?? cos its every individual freedom rights if he or she wants to get back to you or not.. you can bring the water to the horse, but whether it will drink is another issue..and i guess to some extend it will feedback to person A how B sees A.. if never get anything at all, then yeah, A is just someone not worth the time as of yet to B. if B do reply back, that means A is someone to B.. in a crude sense i guess..
anyways, in either ways, its a pretty good argument which i cant really decide on.. cos sometimes i do the first one, sometimes i do the second one.. hahaha depending on whether i remembered to reply back.. its not that i do it on purpose if i dont get back to the person! really!but i think im gonna go for the first one.. that it is an entitlement to get at least a wassup reply from whoever you trying to contact..
cos its a shame in this time and age, if its just too hard to get back to someone..
