Let’s be clear, we have nothing against cell phones, which are an extraordinary tool that we use like everyone else.

Too intrusive…

However, it is a tool that has taken on a significant role in our society, to the point that often, what happens on the phone seems more important than what is happening in the immediate vicinity.

It has become commonplace, when friends get together, to see five or six phones placed in the center of the circle, and also for one or more members of the group to answer a call—or make one—in the middle of a conversation, or spend their time checking their messages and notifications.

A tool to be used wisely

At Flores de Vida, we prioritize “real” relationships with the people in front of us or by our side.

Your phone should therefore be in airplane mode and remain in your bag. You can of course take it out to take a photo, then put it back in your bag. If you need to make a call, you can step away from the group and make your call without disturbing others.
