Social media and our future
Don't ignore this if you have a future.
A friend once told me " bro I have posted Godly materials on Facebook but never got noticed."
Another told me that, "prostitutes now get married more quickly than decent girls"..
In all they are trying to prove that evil really pays because our generation appreciates it more.
Is it true?
Now let's face the reality.
Dale Carnegie said "the deepest craving of the human soul is the desire to be appreciated"
Nobody likes to go unnoticed, especially in this world of "leave a legacy". People want to feel important so much that they care less about how they derive importance.
Fame has been mistaken for relevance.
People now choose to be famous rather than to be relevant because they have a distorted perception of the latter.
To them, 10k likes means you are important to 10k people. And 0 likes means 0 importance.
During my adolescence, I faced peer pressure. We all did. We didn't want to be the misfit among friends. So we did anything to fit in.
Oddly, this peer pressure always follows us into our adult lives. And never leaves until we have made a better choice.
But what a shame ! Our generation makes it difficult for us to make better choices.
A young boy devised a means to derive his own importance. He wanted to prove that he too deserves to be noticed. So he barricaded the President's convoy with a gun in his hand. The next was history.
Fame! Fame!! Facebook fame!!!
How many likes will I get for this post? Story!
Unless I post my nude or sex-time pictures, I would only be patronized..
See friends, we can't set people up and then blame them. The social media is a bubble.
What happens here is worse than what happens in the real world. Everybody here knows everybody. And Everybody is doing what he or she likes. So the peer pressure is high.
At least there is supervision in the real world. But not here!
"She got likes for posting nude. So I'm gonna do the same" That's what you get.
How can we minimize the level of this self inflicted injustice on our own future?
Simple,
Ignore evil materials..
Promote good ones. Like and share them and
Apologise to nobody about it.
When our up and coming generation sees our collective responses to evil materials, they will be forced to revise their devices.
Let's not wait until we get to church to do this.. Do it now. Do it here. Bring morality and righteousness down here. Take Christ with you.
Take the #ChurchOut
Jay bless!
