Social media and negativity are going hand in hand, a small attempt to avoid it.

Where are we heading to?

I generally refrain from making any political remarks, but whenever I really want to say something, I say it in an obviously good-humored way, or even plain humorously, just to make sure that my statements are not hurting the sentiments of anyone.

But there are some people on social media who are spreading sheer negativity simply because their ideology does not match yours. Is this reason valid? I don't think so.

See, it is natural to have a difference of opinions, and you can participate in a healthy debate with your viewpoint, data, etc. But we only feel victory in negativity. Celebrating or praying for someone's death just because your ideologies do not match theirs, only shows how much we humans have actually withered from inside; in fact, our souls seem to have died long ago, and by doing all this we have closed all the doors for our salvation.

Is it okay to hate someone?

Hate is also an emotion, just like love, fear, sadness, care, worry, etc. Humans have 27 types of emotions and out of 27, anger is the most common but dangerous emotion we have. Anger arises between hate and fear, more anger erodes the power of thinking. Most of the wrong decisions we make when we are really angry, and later we regret them. After all, we left with no peace of mind, and finally, one word remains, ???!

Although it is very important to express your emotions, but you should know where to draw a line.

In a perfect world, each person we interact with would be kind, considerate, mindful, generous, and have a personality that complements our own. They would get our sense of humor and we would get theirs. We would all thrive in a convivial atmosphere where no one was ever angry, upset, or annoyed. But unfortunately, that is not the way the world works. Sometimes we are fortunate to be surrounded by people we like, but other times we must live, work, or interact with people we do not like. This is not something to be ashamed of. How could you possibly like everyone equally? But if you find yourself thinking “I hate people,” it is the time to look inside you, it is the time to find your inner peace and try to overcome with negativity you are surrounded by.

Today, Social Media plays an integral role in our lives, but every coin has two sides, similar, Social Media has both positive and negative impacts of its.

Advantage

·        It forces the necessary change in Business, Politics, Socialization.

·        It helps us connect globally.

·        It helps raise your voice against any injustice.

·        Immediate access to information

Disadvantage

·        Privacy Issue

·        Overloaded Information

·        Fake News

·        Cyberbullying

·        It is making our youth lazy and unhealthy.

Nowadays, everyone is in hurry to like/comment/share what is readily available without checking the authenticity of the information, and there was no regulation in social media platforms like we had in Print and Television media, but now the Indian Govt. has come up with the new regulation for the social media under its IT act.

But the problem here is that imposing rules and regulations are fine, but the majority of our population are still unaware of the seriousness of the issue, they need to be educated, there has to be more strictness on using of such platforms, I advise that disclaimer of rules and regulations to be introduced and popped up before every single use. 

What an individual can do?

·        Stay Calm

·        Maintain Boundaries

·        Identify what bothers you.

·        Be mindful to your body.

·        Remember, you are in control.

·        Practice positive affirmation.

·        Believe in the power of positive thinking.

·        Face the fear

·        Try new things.

·        Get moving.

·        Shift your perspective.

·        Live in the moment

A better and effective approach can be we should limit the overuses of social media and stop getting influence by everything and make one point clear that “I don’t want to read about all the bad things that are happening around me and affecting me."

I would like to end this note with the famous DOHA of Kabir Das Ji.

“????? ???? ?????? ???, ????? ???? ???!
