That's actually something I've noticed a lot too, and it honestly feels kinda weird. Like, Eid ul Adha is all about being together, sharing food, and praying as a group. But nowadays, everyone just blasts off a bunch of "happy eid mubarak wishes" on WhatsApp or Instagram and calls it a day. I get that it's way more convenient, especially for people with family in different cities or time zones, but it kinda loses that personal touch.
I remember when I was little, we literally went to every neighbor's house and hugged them and said "Eid Mubarak" face to face. Now, most of my friends just copy-paste the same message to everyone they know. I guess people's lives are just busier? Or maybe they think a message is enough because at least they're reaching out. And, not gonna lie, for people who are shy or have social anxiety, it's a lot easier to text than show up in person.
Still, I think the best part is seeing someone happy because you made the effort, not just dropping an emoji. Maybe everyone just needs to mix it up: send the wishes, but also make time for a real call or one hangout, even if it's just a quick video chat. That's what makes it actually feel like Eid, you know?
