Social Media and Relationships

No matter who you are or how original you think you are everyone in the social media realm is affected by what people post and who is doing the posting. For instance on my news feed I see a lot of post about peoples faith and very encouraging notes on peoples walls or nice tweets at people. Now i know for a fact not every persons wall is filled with that, there are some that are filled with Miley Cyrus videos or people complaining about life or how drunk that got over the weekend. I want to say first off I don't care what people see on their personal profile that is their business and I'm not going to tell them how to live their life. I will say however that does affect the way I view them. Anyone who says that they don't judge others is lying, I'm not saying we want to judge them I am saying though that they do it. For instance I see people who love drama or drinking and other related things and I think I won't get along with them or that they will think that I'm weird. Truth is the stuff that I post or that you post affects the way people view each other and the consequence can be positive or negative. However, the majority of the time it is a negative affect. You may think that this is pessimistic, but I think it is truth. We as people are naturally selfish myself included, therefore I want and you want things to go your way and when things don't go our way we habitually associate it negatively and our relationship with that person worsens or is destroyed completely. I think things that could improve social media are things that are but a dream and to be honest I think the social media monster is almost too big to be tackled. People want to be known for being the greatest person of all time whether its stepping on others or making an alter ego that makes them the nicest and sweetest person on the surface, people rarely want to go against the current. You make think your a hipster, but have you looked around lately and seen there are millions of hipsters in California alone. People don't want to see conflict end in resolution with both sides coming to terms equally and becoming great friends, sure you make like watching those YouTube videos about uplifting stories every once in awhile, but I'm sure you like to watch those celebrity breakdowns, or gang fights, or mean pranks being pulled.  The thing that needs to happen for people to change their attitudes or even start to move in the direction where we can be civilized people again on the Internet is to genuinely want to think the best of people. That will not come with just a few bloggers or face book posts. It will take a movement of people all stating their opinion and showing unity that they will not stop until we can be a loving and caring people unified all around the world not by a race or moral ethics, but by love of being all the same and uniquely ourselves at the same time. Now l=as much as I want to believe the best of mankind it is going to take a whole lot energy and effort to get the ball rolling on this one.
