    596 Words  | 2 Pages

    In “Liking Is for Cowards. Go for What Hurts,” Jonathan Franzen highlights the fact that technology has taken over our lives so much that we have become incapable of loving someone. We have attached ourselves to our gadgets so much that it is almost as if we are in a relationship with them. However, this relationship is, he says, one sided. The technology, which is so beloved to us, has become nothing but an extension of ourselves. Due to this, we have immersed ourselves into a world of liking. To like is much easier than to love, for by falling in love we make ourselves vulnerable to pain and suffering. Liking, on the other hand, does not require any commitment whatsoever. However, the author states that, “To live through a life painlessly
