Is it not it a curious world we live in?

           Being a part of generation with infinite information available at it's finger tips, leaves me more often then not, overwhelmed. It is possible that I am the only human being that has a hard time with knowing when enough is enough.
           It is also possible that I am not, and more than one of you know the exact feeling I speak of.
Every situation is unique, but swinging open MY laptop is all-to-easy.
          As you sit there reading this, possibly alone, you are in fact in the company of millions doing that very same thing. While the possibility of them reading these words is unlikely. It IS possible.
          And even if they are not, they ARE in some way engaging themselves in this or that and the other thing...each of which can be found easily, most of which they did not actually intend on engaging themselves in.
         With an array of social networking options, you can say hello to a person without actually saying it. You can share your currant thoughts and have them immediately viewed and responded to in a manner of seconds. You can peruse the many sites, where people have chosen to both publicly display and with hold information about themselves. One has the option to respond or to not respond to inquires, greetings, & invitations. Is it not it a curious world we live in?

          While my thoughts are doing cartwheels, here as I write...I have yet to come to any real good conclusion as to what I am actually trying to say. All I know is, with the tools and resources we have available to us, I guess I'd encourage you to ask yourself..."what am I doing with them?"
          You say, "I am allowed to do anything"--but not everything is good for you. You say, "I am allowed to do anything"--but not everything is beneficial (1 Corinthian 10:23, New living translation)
           Guard your hearts, minds, and thoughts with what you let in my friends. Guard your hearts, minds, and thoughts with what you let out. With knowledge comes great responsibility.

The title of this entry is a question, so please, feel free to comment, and share your insight. If you so desire.

  1. This is a really lovely post and one I related to as I read - it made me think of what is said in a book called Future Shock written by Sociologist Alvin Toffler back inthe 70's - it's all about how overwhelmed humans will feel in the age we are in now. He predicted all this - a v relevant read indeed. We have to be aware of what we have at our disposal and use it well.I agree.
