There is a proverb: Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are. Did I not understand it so deeply before? I thought, what does this parable mean? Show your friend how. Is it difficult to look at myself and determine who I am?
Over the years, I have come to understand deeply how serious and serious the matter is. Yes, it means that if you are a smart person, you will be friends with a smart person, but if you don't have a mind, you will be friends with a crazy person... As they say, your husband will be your friend, and your effort will be yours. But after the Internet was invented and social networks entered our lives, there is no need to show friends anymore. If you look at the same person's posts, if you follow his social network profile, you will soon understand who he is, how they say, what sect he serves. It is enough to follow the 3-5 monthly posts on the profile of a person who has hidden himself in the society for years, so that you can partially recognize and appreciate him. Yes, let me add that there are people who do not share anything, but are proud of what they observe. Even he does not understand how dangerous his character is revealed. In other words, the social network is such that you are either here or you are not. If you have a profile, it means that you have a virtual identity.
The abyss of serious degradation is at our doorstep. We may not be aware of it, but it has become commonplace to see how our values are out of order. Deviation from national thought, avoidance of moral values, political immorality, social illiteracy have passed all levels. Previously, prostitutes sold their bodies secretly, now it happens in front of everyone. Previously, when someone lied, reported, gossiped, wrote denunciations, cursed and insulted someone, vented his aggression, showed his wealth, he would do it in a limited circle, sharing it with the circle he knew close to him. Previously, family secrets were best shared with the most intimate person. Now all this is in the middle of the profile of that X person in the social network. No shame, no blushing! Look where we came from. By God, we are in a situation where we should leave our deaths and cry for our lives. We need a huge being, a huge power to shake us and bring us to ourselves.
Of course, the social network is a world trend. We have nothing to do with it. At the same time, it is an undeniable virtual concept that directs our life paths and activities. But not so much anymore. It would be nice to do everything in moderation. Why should a person put his physical and mental aspects, qualities (lacks) on his profile for "like" auction? Why should a man enjoy making himself the object of so much ridicule? Look, you can't understand it. What is it that brings us out of us? What we eat, what we drink, air, water? What is it? Cheap gossip, black gangs, light, silly polemics, attempts to prove the opposite of what is not there are playing horses in all social networks. Isn't it time to string up this horse? Isn't everything caused by state and administrative obstacles? If the state does it, you will say that it is censorship, that the state interferes in our affairs, etc. Maybe you can do it yourself? Maybe you will come to your senses, give yourself weight and order, and realize how you look from the outside? The greatest limit to a person should be set by himself. Maybe take just five minutes to think about it?
