In today's high technology world we are always tuned in and rarely ever tune out. We have phones that continuously update us on what's going on in the world as well as we become always available to others. During the times that we don't answer our phones or aren't immediately available for others at the first alert it can create conflict as we are assumed to be ignoring others. However, most of the time the need to contact us wasn't urgent it was based on another's impatience. The expectation then becomes that we have to explain our unavailability even though we have responsibilities outside of our phones! We know too much about people we don't know personally and we often find ourselves scrolling through the internet looking up needless information about celebrities or researching people just because we feel we have the right to know. Better yet since information is so easily available to us we feel we have to know what's been going on with others as they may be hiding information from us. Our ability to trust becomes impacted as we have to know the details before we even respond hi to a stranger since they look familiar, or are to friendly for a reason. However, we fail to realize that most of our fact checking isn't credible as the information on the internet is skewed as well as the information we get from others who may know something. The need to be virtually involved is increasing in our society and the need to spend time with others in person or to speak directly to is becoming a thing of the past. It's more common to post a disagreement or speak indirectly about someone instead of addressing issues without an audience. We feel the need to comment on others life as if we are the judges and jurors of all life. Who or what makes you feel entitled to do so? Why do you feel it's necessary? However, when you become the topic of conversation you become offended, or in some situations you feel as if their is a subliminal message aimed at you when the reality is you weren't though of but you had to make it about you anyway. We get so engulfed in what we believe is correct for our life that we become intrusive and unaccepting of others who are different. Fact Check we all are different as we should be! We feel compelled to broadcast everything about our personal life when some things should be kept private. We fail to see how what we put out there on the internet is there forever. Where are the boundaries with privacy nowadays? Is there no longer a need to know basis for our personal information? Yet we fail to acknowledge the role we play when we broadcast our lives, which allows others to have our personal information. Additionally we become armored with our recorded videos and conversations, screenshots, and saved messages just in case we have to prove how someone is or even use our "evidence" to humiliate or pay someone back for doing us wrong. We have no problem trying to ruin someone in any way or get more social media fans at the disgrace of others. Where are personal morals and values? It's not okay to have a difference of opinion or even to be different as if you dont fit in your a target. Let alone when we aim to have "followers" or "likes" by degrading others. We need to unsubscribe and evaluate our social media persona. Are you seeking attention? Are you searching for useless information? Are you exposing yourself? Are commenting just to feel included or for attention? Are you "negative" when your online and "positive" offline? To note this subject content is in no way referring to the real life predators and perpetrators. Its is aimed at self-evaluation in an effort to connect on a personal level without social media. Yes, being able to stay connected with friends and family, or to join groups of likeminded/different perspectives is a great asset. However, when we become a persona to appear or appease others it requires self-evaluation. Final thought what are you doing with your time? If it's not assisting you to be your best self and encouraging your growth it's time for a change.

Peace, Blessings, Love and Light
