“Social Media, For All The Good It Has Brought, Has Also Created A Platform For Anyone To Make Up His Or Her Own Truth And Then Work At Eroding Truths That Bind Us Together And Anchor Our Sanctity” (Fr. Ronald Rolheiser, O.m.i.)

The world has indeed changed its course of life and history with the emergence of social media. However, the misuse and abuse of social media has certainly disfigured the true character of humanity. Inasmuch as social media is a blessing to the world, it has also damaged the relationship between God and humanity. The platform of social media has turned into a broken bridge which refrains people to live with the fear of God, ultimately with the wisdom of God.
 
I personally value the power of social media, but would never myself abuse it and make a tool to hurt the people of God.
 
Thus, my adherence to social media is exercised only for the right reasons. Social media can and should be the golden bridge to bring us closer to God and humankind.
