Maybe the problem of social media, aside from technological insanity it causes, is that when someone hates someone, all of his/her peers will be hating that certain person, without, for all the reasons in the world, thinking how other people may be feeling by just reading their thread. Facebook, whatever happened to open-mindedness?
Personal matters like family and relationship issues are never exempted.
I remember Nikka’s** post on Facebook and I just had a personal revision: I promise myself, if Lord will allow me to have romantic relationship again, “not to use any social media site as bin of my rants, resentments, and unsaid thoughts I can’t directly say to my partner.”
I’ve done this before and I’m never gonna make the same mistake again. I am somehow disappointed on how other people nowadays post hatred messages against their partners and posting iloveyou’s, imissyou’s, and such a minute after.
You tell me that sometimes it’s the burst of emotions, but have you thought– even just for a while before typing and posting your rants– about your free-will? Or for once, your common sense of letting the world know how vulnerable and fragile you are by not handling your personal matters effectively? Posting these, for crying out loud, is also posting your personality as a person. You don’t want the world to know about your weakness and cowardice, do you?
People, let us not be slaves of SNS and swim with its epic control over the universe. Can we, my friends, for the sake of the younger generation, fix our personal matters privately? Without letting the world know about your petty fights that can be solved by you both talking, I mean.
You know what they say? Confide it to God. He hears your raves and He eventually will answer your confusion. He loves you enough to let you fight that relationship battle alone.
