Sam has just woken in the morning. Seeing 32 unread messages. Sam put down the phone, frustrated. How would Sam get through the next few days? Looking for answers, or distraction, Sam picked up the phone and started watching videos. One video caught Sam’s eye. A remarkable individual, talking about something religious or spiritual. Sam couldn’t quite make it out, but Sam was interested and found something impressive, maybe admirable, about the person. So Sam, continued watching and watching. Sam doesn’t aware time pasts, even after noon, after evening until night. And then Sam keep on watching watching. His girlfriend asks him out, “Sam, what are you doing?” But Sam has been too into his video, he doesn’t aware that his girlfriend is calling him out. An hour pasts, two hours pasts. Suddenly his phone out of battery, it’s 3am already.
