becoming

Listening to Tim Chester again:

God has placed you together with the people in your congregation. You did not chose them; God chose them. And that diversity of personalities, backgrounds, social class, ethnicities is used by God to make you grow in Christ and to display the unifying power of the cross.

But in cyberspace you are god. You chose who will be in community with you. You create your own communities of convenience that mean you are never challenged. Or if you are challenged or relationships become costly you can just scuttle off to new relationships. As a result we never grow. We are permanently immature.

Here is the test of whether you are facing this danger: Is your Facebook self more attractive than your real world self? 

When I am forced to answer “yes” in all honesty, I know it is my time to disable the account.

好難頂。

Social Network 一類如 Facebook，我以為，製造了大量極為無聊的信息。坦白說，若因為出於關心你，而要換來浪費我（ 和他人）大量的時間，從大堆「我正在打甚麼機，打緊史上最強的超XX，勁YY大戰」、「我今日做的第一萬零二十八個乜乜心理測驗之結果為…」之流的垃圾信 息中，去找出你的近況；對不起，我會選擇放棄。

我放棄的，是那些單單在說，「在做甚麼」的你。

我歡迎，和關心的，是有反省、有思想、有意見、有話說、有內容的你。

這也是我唔twit的原因。

難道你唔覺難頂嗎？還是你樂於被reduce 為 you are what you are doing?
