Shalini’s Where Does Your Moral Responsibility End? is more than a reflection it’s a confession wrapped in vulnerability. Her story begins with a simple Halloween encounter, but gently unfolds into something deeper: a moment of reckoning with herself. The memory of her son nearly being hit by a car is raw, and her honesty in admitting distraction is painfully relatable. She doesn’t hide behind excuses she owns the guilt, the fear, the gratitude. Her words feel like someone sitting across from you, eyes full of emotion, saying “I’ve been there too.” And when she speaks of Substack, it’s not just about a platform it’s about how easy it is to drift from what truly matters. This piece doesn’t preach it reaches out.
My children’s school made one decision and made them put away their cellphones into boxes that became unavailable to use until class got over. It improved class involvement overnight.
Now they have decided not to allow cellphones into schools. Don’t know how that will pan out.
Society is learning. People are making conscious decisions to put away what distracts.

Thank you Adriao for really seeing me!
