MEDIA MEDIA MEDIA!!!!! (2)

Self Image 

     This aspect of social media has become a great concern for several communities. Self image is the mental image one has of their abilities, appearance and personality
      On the media we encounter a lot of different individuals who are very different from us but one thing most of us forget is that people only put up what they want portrayed never the entire truth or their travails .Social media is that one place we can be who we desire to be but most people take this too far making all that counts to me this way of life forgetting how precious they as a individual are because of this a lot of people have been lured into the belief that they are not good enough or that their lives would not measure up to the standards of the social media community.

Relationships

Over the past years I have heard a lot of stories regarding two people who met via social media by chance, strike up a conversation and it led to an happily ever after  and also for my people in long distance relationships (Kudos to you) have found social media to be a blessing, a great way to keep in touch with people they love until they are able to see them physically. Unfortunately some stories end with more gore. The social media trend according to some studies has raised the rate of dishonesty, distrust and break ups. We have become so engrossed in our life on social media that a lot of us cannot strike up a conversation with others because of this we have let a lot of our relations with people die some people even take it as far as having public confrontations on social media and these feuds are also fueled by the insecurities of other people.

   Just as I stated in my last post I would leave the decision to you my readers . 
Is social media an advantage or a disadvantage?
  We also have to keep in mind that when a great opportunity or asset is abused it becomes worthless or harmful. Keep in mind to know when, what and how to use the gift of social media.

Bible passage for the week 

"Call unto me, and i will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." - Jeremiah 33: 3 (KJV)

ARE WE THERE YET?
