Many people are asking the question, what is social media doing to society psychologically? That kind of questioning or considering will not come from our current leaders , who need you to be on society media , they need you , so they can model you the way they would like you to be and to provide the bucks for their power base . Everyone is desperate to influence somebody else , but who are the best persons to be influenced by ? And who should we avoid ?
That’s the education given in the Vedas .
Having a completely over indulgent lifestyle of spending hours with phones glued to our hands will affect our thinking and intellectual capacity as well as our creativity.
Quite time , a time for contemplation and deep thinking is fast being eradicated from young peoples lives . In days gone by a sense of an inner life and even loneliness had a very creative and healthy aspect to it , the journey within is very fruitful .
Social media is making us creatively lazy and philosophically lazy ,as we seek to spend time feeding off the whims and reflections of others , who also spend their time, feeding off others whims and reflections , we seek to absorb ourselves in just about anything that might titilate a lazy and uncontrolled mind , and one can ask ,what good is it .
It’s a kind of lazy feeding frenzy , we avoid facing deep philosophical questions and deep obstacles that are always calling within ourselves . These deep callings are feared by many in society, especially the Darwinian educated society , they dont want to face challenges to their artificial sense of being , because they are taught there is nothing within. Truth is , by Divinities arrangements this deep sence of questioning ourselves along with a fragile and insecure existence we have , is actually very healthy and its natures way of encouraging us to find a deeper and more profound sence of ourselves , it should not be feared but embraced.
Ultimately everything has a good purpose, when used properly, including social media.
