Stop being a Twit..er!

I am sometimes quite irritated with the ability of people to want something from you or feel compelled to educate you, or remind of things you are not doing well, when they have flaws and failings, which are no less "sinful".  Social media often does not help the cause because people seem to be happy to air all their dirty washing on posts and likes and comments.  Yes it is true that the platform invites comment and interaction, but is it necessary to open a discussion intended to be specific to a person or group, to the entire planet.  Yet it is more the fact that it provides those that feel like they are the guardians of our souls and the keepers of our morals, that bug me, because they may be exceptional at offering advice via social media, but what is happening in their own homes or business.  It bugs me too that sometimes we have no choice but to get involved in this senseless exercises of show and tell on social media and it is frankly a complete waste of time.  Even giving compliments these days have been reduces to a message via facebook, or a change of profile and I fear that the youth of today will find it completely impossible to look someone in the eyes and have a conversation that has meaning and purpose and intimacy.  It saddens me that even I have got into the habit of changing profiles and using emoji to express how I feel.  But I suppose that if you don't then life will become pretty lonely and boring because the rest of the world is moving on with this process. I just think that a bit more attention and specifically thought needs to go into comments and stabs at people and more caution used before deciding which platform to use, to throw out digs or hurtful acts of conversation.  Certainly social media has a way of coming full circle a lot quicker than other interaction, so remember what you put in will likely come back to you real fast.
