Impact of Social Media

-



“Don’t use social media to impress people; use it impact                                                          people”

                     Social media is a fantastic way to get people to express themselves to the world. Whatever it be a Facebook statues or writing on wall or a twitter update or uploading our photos in Instagram these all are extension of our personality. It help us to express ourselves and to show people who we are. They offer a platform for ourselves to be creative and to be innovative. It has also a spiritual dimension too.   


            When our provincial came to see us he asked us who all are using social media? Even though we were shy we all raise our hands. And he says that we can use social media in a spiritual way and he said that there is a brother in Dharmaram from our province who used to put spiritual talks and reflection and commentaries in social media and share to most of the people. So he told us to use in the someway he does. I share this experience to remind you that we could use social media for the glory of God.
             We could see in people that those who interact with others in social media for a longtime and have thousands of friends and followers will not have even a single close friend. They always live in a virtual world. And also we could see people criticizing others in social media in a bad way but in contradictory they don’t know what the truth is. But in the other hand it offer people who find it difficult to interact with others in person, the internet gave them a great way of communication and not having the feel of self-conscious.
                    So social media is a gift. It can be used to make or break a business. It can also make or break a person. The famous scientist Stephen hawking says that “we are all now connected by the internet, like nervous in a giant brain.”

“Never forget O Brave One the best kind of existence is to exist for others” Saint kuriakose Elias Chavara was a social reformer. He is the first canonized catholic male saint of Indian origin. He was one of the founders and first prior general of the first religious congregation for men known as the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate and the founder of the Congregation of the Mother of Carmel a religious congregation for women. Though his excellence touched all field, today I would like to focus him as a social reformer. Alas! Till 20 th century kerala history ignored him. But today things are changing. History accepted him as a social reformer. That is why, his history and contributions are become the necessary part of various grade exams like IAS, PSC, etc. He hailed from a Syrian Catholic family. He played a major role in educating and uplifting the people of kerala. St. Kuriakose Elias had the conviction that only through education the social status of people can be impr...

St. Therese of Lisiex – Doctor of the Church “I fell that my mission is about to begin, my mission to make God loved as I love Him, to teach soul my life way” in the answer to the question “What is the little way you want to teach the souls?” Theresa said: “It is the way of spiritual childhood, the way of trust and absolute surrender.” The poet Ben Johnson beautifully wrote that “ I t is not growing like a tree In bulk doth make Man better be; Or standing long an oak, three hundred year, To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere: A lily of a day Is fairer far in May, Although it fall and die that night— It was the plant and flower of light.” What is the use of a long life, when it’s meaningless? What is the use if we live as long as Methuselah who lived for 969 years (Genesis 5: 27) and have no sweetness in life? Even if life is short we need to make it sweet. Jesus life was short, just 33 years, but he gave sweetness to others; St. Theresa’s life was short, just 24 years...
