people who do not keep shabbos always revel at how i am able go 25 hours without being able to text, speak on the phone , watch tv or go veg out on the computer. i say how can i not have a 25 hour period each week with such restrictions? bring it on!! being restricted from the possibility of a 2 hour phone call is divine. im so hypnotized by my computer that its good to have at 25 hour weekly break from it. oh and i don't watch enough tv to miss it on shabbos. im not such a heavy texter so i don't even think about not being able to text on shabbos.
i feel sorry for heavy texters . for them its as addictive as smoking. they can barely go fifteen minutes without increasing the intensity of their carpal tunnel. they have to learn the art of face to face conversation . what a bummer.
i think that hashem knew what he was doing when he banned electronic devices on shabbos. he knew that we needed a weekly break from it all so we would actually have shabbos menucha.
