A Digital Dilemma : To Like or To Share ?

The advent of a gazillion number of network sites with a legion of fancy apps and frankly useless features has given rise to a new breed of delusional people . The psychological effect of this new illusion is truly remarkable . Sane people with rational thought processes now believe that they can help people half way across the world in a third world country improve their life by " liking " a post . This leads me to raise a question in my own mind " Are we Really That Dumb ? "

          Any person with a single digit IQ and a speck of common sense can tell that a button click on Facebook isn't going to help in reality while we ourselves lounge on the sofa with all possible luxuries possible for us and then some .. Then why is it that more and more people are being sucked into this loop of tomfoolery and make believe ? Is it because we truly believe in the thing that we support or is it because of the herd mentality that plagues the majority of the people ? " Oh i don't know anything about gun control but a million people are supporting it , why shouldn't I ?? " .

                                                               Infinite number of likes or shares don't mean a thing because there is a difference in the digital & the real world . A like wont help a little girl suffering from cancer , it wont stop rape from happening and it wont feed malnourished African children . True inclination and desire to bring about a change will never be reflected in the digital networking world . It will be reflected by the efforts you take to see your dream become reality . So if you want to see changes in society go out and start preaching them . As Mahatma Gandhi said

                " BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD ".
