Early this morning I woke up and experienced an epiphany that I felt guided to write down and share. Here are some notes from my journal…
If someone is addicted to facebook, then its an individual weakness/problem with them, NOT Facebook. People need to take responsibility for their own actions and weaknesses, instead of blaming or giving away their power to any “thing” outside of themselves, including the perceived external environment etc. Facebook, the internet, (or any technology for that matter), isn’t “bad” or “evil” in itself, it “just is” a TOOL that can be used for good or evil, depending on what’s going on within the individual operating it. Technology and various media tools can be used both to entertain and inspire good, or to crush, damage and take down, depending on what’s happening within the individual operating it.
From my perspective, some conservative Christians seem to be the worst culprits at giving up their own inner power and responsibility to something “outside or apart from themselves”. No wonder they tend to also be “against” things like free uncensored internet, what they currently consider to be “immodest dress”, homosexuals or even porn. Take responsibility for yourself! Nurture the Holy Spirit within yourself and your own family, and stop blaming what’s happening “out there”!
