My recent concern on the internet is the meteoric rise of internet warriors. There are many people on the internet, whom have become authorities on different arenas such as: relationships, God, conflict and the purpose of life.
MY number one concern is who is writing this kind of stuff:
In most cases these fearless warriors are no name people often hiding behind an anonymous tag giving there life changing opinions. Why should they be listened to? In many cases they have done no research, have a distorted view and often write angry. Somehow though i keep seeing links on Facebook from these fearless keyboard prophets. My question to them, why should I listen?
Listening to good voices in the arena of my life.
My grandparents advice is often coated with a life fully lived, the advice i get has been proven over the cauldrons of life. Its why I read a lot of books by dead people, because their wisdom has often survived generations. When I go to ask someone when those people aren't around, i find someone in my life who is doing what I am wanting to do. Better to ask someone who is further down the track of life than someone right beside me. Its why drivers flash their hazard lights, to tell each other the turmoil coming ahead because they are coming from the road i am about to travel.
If I want relationship advice, I will ask someone who is married and still loves their partner. Not a single person whose last three relationships have lasted less than the current breathe I am breathing.
If I want to find more out about philosophy and the church I will ask someone who has walked with Christ longer than me, because they can flash their hazards when I travel through life with Christ.
If I want to get advice, i get it from someone who is better than me, who doesn't rip people apart as the fearless warrior prophet of the internet. Only Jesus is the Messiah, you can't save the internet. But you sure can get help.
Peace out, john
