A lot of us are quite aware of the technology we are enjoying. From the convenience of our computers, cellphones and other machines enabling us to accomplish so many tasks with lesser effort. Even in our Youth for Christ community we evangelize through the use of social media such as facebook, twitter, instagram. We also spread inspirational videos through youtube and other similar sites.
Just like any other things, it also has its drawbacks. Numerous people nowadays including our fellow brothers and sisters tend to be imprisoned with the technology they are enjoying. Some tend to build up their self-worth by constantly keeping up with the new trend in the gadget world. Some tend to consider themselves as famous and having a lot of friends even if the reality says otherwise. They are isolating themselves and only interacting online without the bother to communicate in person.
What's bothering me is the distortion in some of the values which I find very important such as friendship and self-worth. Self-worth is not measured by how many friends/followers you have online neither how many likes did your recent photo have accumulate. It's real foundation is actually the goodness you have in yourself, your talents, skills and how you've used them for the good.
Hope this picture would also remind us the various imprisonment we have over earthly things.
