RE: To an idealistic end

in OCD6 years ago

I know I have been avoiding interaction both on and offline. My own is deliberate, an attempt to be left alone, ignored basically. I also know how injurious the social media is to healthy relationships and how we can build faith on a simple thing as a kind word, an emoji sent across vast distances, attach meanings to them and find what we want in them when we can have all of that in the day to day words we here in our homes, streets, offices, bars etc. The truth is that social media based relationships cannot be the same as connecting on a physical level. There are nuances to communication and connections that video calls, emojis, texts cannot give. This is not to say that relationships on social media is bad. We just need to not lose sight of real life and all its intricacies and peculiarities.

Sort:  

Know thy self, is the first order of living life, and unfortunately social media encourages avoidance of personal understanding and that leads to a listless existence without meaning. Intimacy is the glue of society, but instead, lust has become the driving force. Lust for consumption, convenience and disposable.
