The Social Media- An Illusion

Out of all the illusions science talks about, the most dangerous one is “The Social Media”. Since long I wanted to write on this. Looking at the current scenario people are getting insane about the stuff in social media platforms. Mostly youngsters are dependent on that. They never are using their brains that what is right and what is wrong? They would blindly follow whatever comes in. This is really lowering down the mental condition of many. Many have drowned into depression and have committed suicide. Social media is made to spread good but it is going other way round. Discussing some of the portion I personally felt weird:

1.    In this world of memes and reels youth is getting mad and they feel that whatever they come across in social media is correct. But it is AI (Artificial Intelligence) which is reading your mind and showing you the posts, meme, reel, video and image according to your mood, this is trapping you emotionally. Then what one does is passes that meme or reel to the other to taunt or to show that they are right. But think the real-life scenario, the circumstances and the situation of the person. Relationships and friendships are broken due to this. The person will judge according to the web series, serials movies and other’s thoughts and what will they get in return is losing of the special one. Think and use your brain, we are not the exactly the same of what is being shown to us.  It is earning platform for creators and loosing platform for us. So never go with that. The things shown are not your thoughts. It is what other feels and how the others mindset work. Patch up as you never know what could happen in next minute. Care and love. Always be kind to yourself and others.

2.    Second worst part I feel is people are losing their original self. They are just copying and following the trends. This sounds fake sometimes because you forget what you love and follow what others say. I think if we start believing more on us and not on others then this will be surely a blessing.

3.    Third I observed is, there is lot of garbage and less of neatness in social media. Any videos are getting viral in the form of entertainment and some people using bad language and have started forgetting their cultures. But it takes educational videos more time to get viral. Youngsters are disrespecting others and feel that they are the mastermind (Hero in their thought) . They disrespect parents, teachers and elders. The way they speak totally changes. But they must understand the value of people and learn discipline. Wearing good clothes and branded glares does not make us sophisticated. Even kids are learning to shout and misbehave with parents based on the videos they watch.

4.    Being in Swag and Style is fine but we must never forget our roots. We must never forget from where we belong and who are around us to give shoulder at the time of need. Even Social Media has proven time snatching part because if we invest time in something productive then surely we are going to conquer the world.

5.    It came to my observation that parents are too busy with their work that they give phones to their kids by themselves and they never set the boundaries or the time scale of using mobile. This is leading to the distraction and more use of the mobile is spoiling the mind of the kids which is leading them to develop stubborn nature and being angry every time. Give them mobile but decide the stipulated time period for this.

These were the illusions but if social media is used in the positive way than it can create the clear picture. Checking the solutions to above illusions we can gain a lot from social media.

 

1.    Understand the reality and the circumstance and then take decisions in any relations because humans are precious then memes and reels. It is just creating the false notion. Respect and value the worth. This time will never come again.

2.    Keep yourself branded and never loose your identity. This is the precious ornament which is given to us by Lord. Following trend is fine but loosing yourself is worst.

3.    By reading various posts and memes the language we use is making our language rotten. And we have started abusing and hurting others. We are forgetting the roots here. So, note down social media is helping to lose our own language proficiency.

4.    Social Media is really destroying the time which needs to be utilize in the work which helps us to grow. But we are wasting ample amount of time on social media. Let us learn and earn to make our lifestyle better.

5.    Parents must get alert about their kids as this is the perfect age to make your kids foundation stronger which will make them a better generation. Lock the time of surfing social media and let them enjoy the beauty of nature, outdoor games, meeting relatives and conversation with parents. The inner child will bloom then.

There are many things to learn from Social Media but it is rightly quoted by elders that evil spreads more quickly compared to goodness. We can learn, earn and gain knowledge from social media, but searching good in social media is also an art which everybody does not know. If this blog can change life of any one also, I will be grateful to God always. Stay away from this biggest illusion and find the best from it. Create the positive vibes and see the magic of life.
