      The ABC's for becoming a Christian. (SAVED SOUL)
      A - Admit - Admit to God that you are a sinner. Repent, turning away from your sin. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
      B - Believe - Believe that Jesus is God's Son and accept God's gift of forgiveness from sin. "While we were sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
      C - Confess - Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. "If you will confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9

      I had good friends from high school, all before social media. We all hung out in person, it was a private school class of 12 people, tightly knit group, one class per grade, so in a sense grew up together. When social media came along, specifically text, I got falsely accused by one of the girls that I liked, and she cancelled me, so I lost all those friends. If it wasn't for social media, I'd have all those friends today, they're all still lifelong friends. : /
      I would blame text more than social media, if it was all audio clips and video calls, so basically just internet was all like the phone, people couldn't misconstrue what others say, and when you strip someone of audio you strip them of their voice, so they can't communicate in a humble, honest fashion
      I still think of the good times, when we were all together at the parties, they'd meet at the marina, playing music, bands were a thing. Nobody used phones, in fact the internet was a joke, mostly for ebaumsworld at the time and some dumb videos, but we got together and hung out with each other without computers, computers were considered nerdy at the time, and I was the nerd of the group that used them.
      Today is awful, total dystopia.

A really BIG and IN thing these days.
      (Why in their sort-of wisdom, even the Hippies advised thus: "Hey man, I don't wanna hear NO negativity!")
      The now antique notion that one should be responsible for those as you mention, is now anathema to too many ways of upbringing of our youth. As compounding that even, we've the 'Culture of the Lie' factored-in, to that already terrible mix. (Borderline horrifying!)
      Another I recall too is "Idle hands do the Devil's work." -- YIKES!
      As given that as a not totally in-viable possibility, then WHAT of the MIND as regarding that same???
      We will be living to observe just how all of this as ever-compounding 'goes'.
      Oh yes!
      Having come into being only few days post- Germany's surrender, I've observed much and still do.
      (Does the Precipice of Wisdom approach because? Unknown. Yet-more to be seen.)
      All of the best to you.

      It is not that life today is more simple, it is just more “comfortable” and fast paced. Things happen faster and it does not take as much time to do things like before. However, we missed the essence of relationships, soul searching, friendships and so many other things. Take TV for example, we would watch one movie and that one movie would mean so much to us..we would talk to our friends about it. Nowadays, there are so many options that it is just draining and movies and books are rarely a point of conversation. As far as relationship goes, people don’t take time to get to know each other and are being discarded like an old pair of socks. Gender has so many options that we are confusing a whole generation. It will come back to haunt us later… more people with mental illness

      OPERATION FREE HUMANITY
      IN ORDER TO HAVE THE GREAT RESULT WE HAVE NEVER HAD BEFORE, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO THE GREAT LEAP WE HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE.
      1) *TURN COLOR OFF ON ALL DISPLAYS AND KEEP THEM OFF!* (MOST IMPORTANT):
      THE BIGGEST DOWNFALL OF HUMANITY WAS THE INVENTION OF COLOR TELEVISION. WHEN COLOR TV WAS INVENTED, THAT IS WHEN WE REALLY STARTED TO SEE GLOBAL SOCIETY BECOMING MORE AND MORE CORRUPTED UNLIKE ANY TIME IN HISTORY. COLOR TV CONTROLS YOU BY BOMBARDING YOU WITH SO MUCH INFORMATION, THAT YOU BEGIN TO LOSE YOUR SENSE OF REALITY AND BECOME MENTALLY INSANE. THIS IS WHY WE SEE SO MANY CRAZY AND REGRESSED HUMANS THAT CAN’T BE TALKED TO OR REASONED WITH, BECAUSE THEY ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO HEAR OR SEE OBJECTIVE REALITY. THINK OF IT AS ADVANCED HYPNOTIC MIND CONTROL WHERE THE INTERNAL WORLD REPLACES THE EXTERNAL WORLD. IT IS INDEED A DEMONSTRABLE FACT THAT COLORS AFFECT OUR EMOTIONS AND DESENSITIZE US TO WHAT WE SEE ON THE SCREEN AND MENTAL RETARDS OUR BRAINS.
      SCREEN DEVICES ARE THE BIGGEST REASON FOR THE DOWNFALL AND DESTRUCTION OF SOCIAL INTERACTIONS SUCH AS FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE AS WELL AS FOR THE DEGRADATION OF LIFE AND FREEDOM.
      HOWEVER, WHEN YOU SWITCH YOUR DEVICES TO BLACK AND WHITE MODE, YOU ARE ACTUALLY WATCHING TV THE CORRECT WAY. AND IN THAT WAY YOU ARE ALLOWING YOUR MIND TO BE ABLE TO PROPERLY PROCESS AND CALCULATE THE INFORMATION YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN. BECAUSE OF THAT YOU CAN ONLY GET SMARTER FROM THIS POINT ON. THIS FIXES ALL THE ISSUES WITH ADDICTION TO SCREEN DEVICES. IT HAPPENS BECAUSE IT HITS ONLY YOUR PERIPHERAL VISION INSTEAD OF YOUR CENTRAL VISION WHICH SEES ONLY COLORS. IMAGINE HOW INTELLIGENT YOU CAN BECOME SINCE YOU WOULD BE MULTITASKING WITH TWO VISIONS! YOU SEE THE REAL WORLD WITH YOUR MAIN VISION, AND YOU THINK AND FOCUS ON THE DIGITAL WORLD WITH YOUR SECONDARY VISION. NO MORE ADDICTION, NO MORE DISTRACTIONS, AND NO MORE MIND CONTROL AND ENSLAVEMENT.
      WHEN YOU WATCH TV WITH YOUR NIGHT VISION INSTEAD OF YOUR DAY TIME VISION, YOU WILL THINK HARDER, BECOME SMARTER, AND WISER AS WELL AS MORE POWERFUL IN LIFE.
      THIS IS THE MAIN ANSWER TO OUR GRIEVANCES AND PLIGHT. THIS IS A PERFECT ANSWER TO HOW TO OVERCOME THE CANCEROUS OF INFESTATION OF HUMANITY BY TECHNOLOGY.
      IF EVERYONE FOLLOWS THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ALONE, IN ABOUT A FEW YEARS, THE MIND SHOULD RE-SENSITIZE AND HEAL COMPLETELY AND OUR IMAGINATION AND PERSONAL THOUGHTS SHOULD COME BACK TO THE WAY THEY USE TO BE.
      SOCIETY WILL GO BACK TO HOW IT USE TO BE IN THE PAST. SINCE WE HAVE SUFFERED AND LEARNED SO MUCH FROM OUR HARD TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS, HUMAN SOCIETY WILL EVEN BECOME BETTER THAN IT WAS IN THE PAST, I.E., SOMETHING RESEMBLING A UTOPIAN SOCIETY.
      2) ORDER 21 DAY FIX AND 21 DAY FIX EXTREME EXERCISE PROGRAMS:
      THIS IS A MASTERPIECE OF AN PHYSICAL EXERCISE PROGRAM (I WOULD EVEN GO SO FAR AS TO CALL IT EVERGREEN). IT’S THE GREATEST AMONG OTHER SIMILAR PROGRAMS FOR IT’S AMAZINGLY POSITIVE AND WARMHEARTED COACH, IT’S SIMPLICITY AND ABILITY TO GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, AS WELL AS BEING A PERFECT CROSS FIT OF WEIGHTS AND CARDIO TO REPLACE THE GYM.
      THIS PROGRAM IS SO SIMPLE YET SO EFFECTIVE: IT DOESN’T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH CHEAP SEMANTICS OR GIMMICKS.
      EACH DAY YOU DO A 30 MINUTE EXERCISE, IT HITS EVERY MUSCLE GROUPS PERFECTLY AND PRECISELY. THE COACH AUTUMN CALABRESE IS SO DILIGENT, ACCURATE, AND DETAIL CENTRIC (AS WELL AS BEING HUMOROUS). SHE IS VERY DIRECT BUT IS SO SIMPLE. SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO DO IT AND LEAVES NO STONE UNTURNED IN THIS PROGRAM. WHEN YOU START USING THIS PROGRAM, YOU WILL SEE THE AMOUNT OF CARE AND EFFORT THIS GREAT COACH PUT INTO THIS MASTERPIECE OF AN EXERCISE.
      THE GOAL SHOULD BE TO EXERCISE EVERY SINGLE DAY AND MAKE IT INTO YOUR LIFE STYLE. IN THE IDEAL WORLD, EVERYONE MUST BE ATHLETIC AND STRONG, SO THAT WE CAN ACHIEVE OUR HIGHER STATE OF BEING. ITS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE THE STAMINA AND ENERGY SO WE CAN FOCUS ON CREATING A MORE JUST, FAIR, LOGICAL AND RATIONAL SOCIETY, WHERE EVERYONE IS A GENIUS AND PHYSICALLY ATHLETIC.
      3) GO TO SLEEP BEFORE 10:00PM AND WAKE UP AT 6:00AM EVERY SINGLE DAY(RECOMMENDED THAT YOU STOP EATING AT 8:00).
      HAVE A GOOD SLEEP. YOU CAN’T MISTAKE THIS ONE. WITHOUT THE PROPER SLEEP YOU HAVE NO CHANCE OF WINNING THE DAY AND YOU MIGHT AS WELL GIVE UP HERE AND THROW THIS INSTRUCTION IN THE GARBAGE CAN.
      SERIOUSLY THOUGH, SLEEP IS CRUCIAL FOR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH, BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY TIME WHEN THE BODY CAN REPAIR ITSELF BY RECHARGING AND RESETTING ITSELF FOR THE NEXT DAY TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. GOOD SLEEP IS EVERYTHING. WITHOUT IT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FUNCTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY, OR BE ABLE TO HELP ANYONE, OR BE SMART. GOOD SLEEP IS WHERE NEW LIFE IS BORN EVERY MORNING, AND DREAMS ARE WHERE THE MIND CAN FIND NEW IDEAS.
      MAKE SURE TO TURN OFF ALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES EXCEPT YOUR PHONES. WE ALSO RECOMMEND THAT YOU GET A BLACKOUT CURTAIN TO MAKE YOUR ROOM PITCH BLACK, SO THAT YOU WONT HAVE ANY INTERFERENCE IN YOUR SLEEP. A GOOD SLEEP AND A BAD SLEEP CAN MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEALTH AND SICKNESS. WE ALSO RECOMMEND HAVING HERBAL TEAS BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP AND ONCE IN A WHILE DRINKING COFFEE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING(DON'T DRINK COFFEE OFTEN THOUGH).
      AGAIN, MAKE SURE THERE IS ZERO LIGHT ANYWHERE IN THE ROOM AND THAT ALL ELECTRONICS ARE TURNED OFF.
      4) NEVER EAT OUT OF DUMPSTERS AND GARBAGE CANS SUCH AS MCDEVILS AND THE MURDER KINGS:
      FAST FOOD-FAST DEATH, RIGHT? THIS DOESN’T REQUIRE ANY ROCKET SCIENCE TO UNDERSTAND; IT’S SIMPLY COMMON SENSE AND SELF RESPECT.
      THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN DOCUMENTARIES THAT HAVE PROVEN THE DANGERS OF FAST FOOD, BUT WE DON'T THINK WE NEED TO COVER IT HERE.
      FOOD IS JUST FOR FUELING AND AND REPAIRING OUR BODIES. IT’S ALSO IMPORTANT FOR IMPROVING AND STRENGTHENING OUR MINDS AND BODIES FOR DAY TO DAY CHALLENGES.
      EAT ONLY MIXED NUTS, VEGETABLES, FRUITS, AND OF COURSE MEATS. ALSO EAT HIGH QUALITY WHOLE BREAD AND DRINK WHOLE MILK. BOTTOM LINE, DON’T EAT TRASH FOOD AND STOP SUPPORTING EVIL INDUSTRIES THAT ARE ABOUT POISONING AND RUINING PEOPLE.
      5) BE OUTSIDE EVERYDAY IF YOU CAN
      SPEND TIME IN NATURE, BREATHE LOTS OF FRESH AIR, GET A LOT OF SUN, TAKE YOUR DOG OR CAT FOR A WALK, AND JUST SPEND TIME WITH PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW, OR TALK TO PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW YET. TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT ACTUALLY MATTER, NOT PERSONAL GARBAGE THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. SPEAK ABOUT SOLUTIONS, CONTRIBUTE AN IDEA THAT SERVES AND HELPS THE ONES IN NEED AND THE ONES WHO DESIRE GOOD.
      THIS GOES BACK TO MAIN POINT OF THERE NO LONGER BEING ANY KIND OF SOCIAL NETWORKING OR ANY KIND OF COMMUNITY IN OUR LIVES FOR MORE THEN A DECADE ALREADY (MAINLY DUE TO SOCIAL MEDIA).
      WE ARE HUMANS, WE ARE PEOPLE; IF WE DON'T EVER TALK TO EACH OTHER, THEN ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE WE FORGET HOW TO TALK TO EACH OTHER OR EVEN BE ABLE TO TALK AT ALL.
      MENTAL ILLNESSES, ANXIETY DISORDERS, DEPRESSION, SADNESS ARE ALL JUST THE SYMPTOMS OF THE UNDERLYING CAUSE AND THE REASON FOR AN EVIL, BROKEN, AND HORRIBLY CORRUPTED SOCIETY (FAMILY VALUES MUST RETURN!).
      THERE IS ONE CULPRIT, WHICH IS SOCIAL MEDIA, AND THERE IS ONE ANSWER: WE NEED TO SOCIALIZE MORE AND START BUILDING COMMUNITIES EVERY SINGLE DAY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. AS IT WAS SAID PREVIOUSLY, IT DOESN’T NEED TO BE ANYTHING PERSONAL AT ALL, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE ABOUT THINGS THAT ACTUALLY MATTER AND HOW WE CAN HELP TO IMPROVE SOCIETY AND SET IT INTO THE RIGHT DIRECTION (NO MEDICATIONS NEEDED).
      HOW LONG CAN WE GO WITHOUT AIR? HOW LONG CAN WE GO WITHOUT WATER? HOW LONG CAN WE GO WITHOUT FOOD, AND HOW LONG CAN WE GO WITHOUT TALKING BEFORE WE MALFUNCTION AND BREAK DOWN INTO DISARRAY AND CHAOS.
      LESSON FOR THIS ONE: PUT “SOCIAL” MEDIA DOWN ONCE AND FOR ALL AND GO BACK INTO SOCIAL REALITY.
      CLOSING STATEMENT:
      DO ALL THESE AND KEEP THEM IN YOUR HEART AND MIND EVERYDAY AND ONE DAY YOU AND THE REST OF HUMANITY WILL SEE THE LIGHT OF HOPE AT THE END OF THIS DARK UNENDING NIGHTMARE. THEN YOU WILL SAY: ITS OVER, ITS FINALLY OVER.

      Looking back is a useless waste of time, something I had to learn the most painful way possible when my children died (30 years apart). It rips a person to shreds to keep looking back, to long for "better" days or times.

      SCREEN DEVICES ARE THE BIGGEST REASON FOR THE DOWNFALL AND DESTRUCTION OF SOCIAL INTERACTIONS SUCH AS FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE AS WELL AS FOR THE DEGRADATION OF LIFE AND FREEDOM.
      HOWEVER, WHEN YOU SWITCH YOUR DEVICES TO BLACK AND WHITE MODE, YOU ARE ACTUALLY WATCHING TV THE CORRECT WAY. AND IN THAT WAY YOU ARE ALLOWING YOUR MIND TO BE ABLE TO PROPERLY PROCESS AND CALCULATE THE INFORMATION YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN. BECAUSE OF THAT YOU CAN ONLY GET SMARTER FROM THIS POINT ON. THIS FIXES ALL THE ISSUES WITH ADDICTION TO SCREEN DEVICES. IT HAPPENS BECAUSE IT HITS ONLY YOUR PERIPHERAL VISION INSTEAD OF YOUR CENTRAL VISION WHICH SEES ONLY COLORS. IMAGINE HOW INTELLIGENT YOU CAN BECOME SINCE YOU WOULD BE MULTITASKING WITH TWO VISIONS! YOU SEE THE REAL WORLD WITH YOUR MAIN VISION, AND YOU THINK AND FOCUS ON THE DIGITAL WORLD WITH YOUR SECONDARY VISION. NO MORE ADDICTION, NO MORE DISTRACTIONS, AND NO MORE MIND CONTROL AND ENSLAVEMENT.
      WHEN YOU WATCH TV WITH YOUR NIGHT VISION INSTEAD OF YOUR DAY TIME VISION, YOU WILL THINK HARDER, BECOME SMARTER, AND WISER AS WELL AS MORE POWERFUL IN LIFE.
      THIS IS THE MAIN ANSWER TO OUR GRIEVANCES AND PLIGHT. THIS IS A PERFECT ANSWER TO HOW TO OVERCOME THE CANCEROUS OF INFESTATION OF HUMANITY BY TECHNOLOGY.
      IF EVERYONE FOLLOWS THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ALONE, IN ABOUT A FEW YEARS, THE MIND SHOULD RE-SENSITIZE AND HEAL COMPLETELY AND OUR IMAGINATION AND PERSONAL THOUGHTS SHOULD COME BACK TO THE WAY THEY USE TO BE.
      SOCIETY WILL GO BACK TO HOW IT USE TO BE IN THE PAST. SINCE WE HAVE SUFFERED AND LEARNED SO MUCH FROM OUR HARD TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS, HUMAN SOCIETY WILL EVEN BECOME BETTER THAN IT WAS IN THE PAST, I.E., SOMETHING RESEMBLING A UTOPIAN SOCIETY.
      2) ORDER 21 DAY FIX AND 21 DAY FIX EXTREME EXERCISE PROGRAMS:
      THIS IS A MASTERPIECE OF AN PHYSICAL EXERCISE PROGRAM (I WOULD EVEN GO SO FAR AS TO CALL IT EVERGREEN). IT’S THE GREATEST AMONG OTHER SIMILAR PROGRAMS FOR IT’S AMAZINGLY POSITIVE AND WARMHEARTED COACH, IT’S SIMPLICITY AND ABILITY TO GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, AS WELL AS BEING A PERFECT CROSS FIT OF WEIGHTS AND CARDIO TO REPLACE THE GYM.
      THIS PROGRAM IS SO SIMPLE YET SO EFFECTIVE: IT DOESN’T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH CHEAP SEMANTICS OR GIMMICKS.
      EACH DAY YOU DO A 30 MINUTE EXERCISE, IT HITS EVERY MUSCLE GROUPS PERFECTLY AND PRECISELY. THE COACH AUTUMN CALABRESE IS SO DILIGENT, ACCURATE, AND DETAIL CENTRIC (AS WELL AS BEING HUMOROUS). SHE IS VERY DIRECT BUT IS SO SIMPLE. SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO DO IT AND LEAVES NO STONE UNTURNED IN THIS PROGRAM. WHEN YOU START USING THIS PROGRAM, YOU WILL SEE THE AMOUNT OF CARE AND EFFORT THIS GREAT COACH PUT INTO THIS MASTERPIECE OF AN EXERCISE.
      THE GOAL SHOULD BE TO EXERCISE EVERY SINGLE DAY AND MAKE IT INTO YOUR LIFE STYLE. IN THE IDEAL WORLD, EVERYONE MUST BE ATHLETIC AND STRONG, SO THAT WE CAN ACHIEVE OUR HIGHER STATE OF BEING. ITS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE THE STAMINA AND ENERGY SO WE CAN FOCUS ON CREATING A MORE JUST, FAIR, LOGICAL AND RATIONAL SOCIETY, WHERE EVERYONE IS A GENIUS AND PHYSICALLY ATHLETIC.
      3) GO TO SLEEP BEFORE 10:00PM AND WAKE UP AT 6:00AM EVERY SINGLE DAY(RECOMMENDED THAT YOU STOP EATING AT 8:00).
      HAVE A GOOD SLEEP. YOU CAN’T MISTAKE THIS ONE. WITHOUT THE PROPER SLEEP YOU HAVE NO CHANCE OF WINNING THE DAY AND YOU MIGHT AS WELL GIVE UP HERE AND THROW THIS INSTRUCTION IN THE GARBAGE CAN.
      SERIOUSLY THOUGH, SLEEP IS CRUCIAL FOR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH, BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY TIME WHEN THE BODY CAN REPAIR ITSELF BY RECHARGING AND RESETTING ITSELF FOR THE NEXT DAY TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. GOOD SLEEP IS EVERYTHING. WITHOUT IT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FUNCTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY, OR BE ABLE TO HELP ANYONE, OR BE SMART. GOOD SLEEP IS WHERE NEW LIFE IS BORN EVERY MORNING, AND DREAMS ARE WHERE THE MIND CAN FIND NEW IDEAS.
      MAKE SURE TO TURN OFF ALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES EXCEPT YOUR PHONES. WE ALSO RECOMMEND THAT YOU GET A BLACKOUT CURTAIN TO MAKE YOUR ROOM PITCH BLACK, SO THAT YOU WONT HAVE ANY INTERFERENCE IN YOUR SLEEP. A GOOD SLEEP AND A BAD SLEEP CAN MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEALTH AND SICKNESS. WE ALSO RECOMMEND HAVING HERBAL TEAS BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP AND ONCE IN A WHILE DRINKING COFFEE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING(DON'T DRINK COFFEE OFTEN THOUGH).
      AGAIN, MAKE SURE THERE IS ZERO LIGHT ANYWHERE IN THE ROOM AND THAT ALL ELECTRONICS ARE TURNED OFF.
      4) NEVER EAT OUT OF DUMPSTERS AND GARBAGE CANS SUCH AS MCDEVILS AND THE MURDER KINGS:
      FAST FOOD-FAST DEATH, RIGHT? THIS DOESN’T REQUIRE ANY ROCKET SCIENCE TO UNDERSTAND; IT’S SIMPLY COMMON SENSE AND SELF RESPECT.
      THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN DOCUMENTARIES THAT HAVE PROVEN THE DANGERS OF FAST FOOD, BUT WE DON'T THINK WE NEED TO COVER IT HERE.
      FOOD IS JUST FOR FUELING AND AND REPAIRING OUR BODIES. IT’S ALSO IMPORTANT FOR IMPROVING AND STRENGTHENING OUR MINDS AND BODIES FOR DAY TO DAY CHALLENGES.
      EAT ONLY MIXED NUTS, VEGETABLES, FRUITS, AND OF COURSE MEATS. ALSO EAT HIGH QUALITY WHOLE BREAD AND DRINK WHOLE MILK. BOTTOM LINE, DON’T EAT TRASH FOOD AND STOP SUPPORTING EVIL INDUSTRIES THAT ARE ABOUT POISONING AND RUINING PEOPLE.
      5) BE OUTSIDE EVERYDAY IF YOU CAN
      SPEND TIME IN NATURE, BREATHE LOTS OF FRESH AIR, GET A LOT OF SUN, TAKE YOUR DOG OR CAT FOR A WALK, AND JUST SPEND TIME WITH PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW, OR TALK TO PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW YET. TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT ACTUALLY MATTER, NOT PERSONAL GARBAGE THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. SPEAK ABOUT SOLUTIONS, CONTRIBUTE AN IDEA THAT SERVES AND HELPS THE ONES IN NEED AND THE ONES WHO DESIRE GOOD.
      THIS GOES BACK TO MAIN POINT OF THERE NO LONGER BEING ANY KIND OF SOCIAL NETWORKING OR ANY KIND OF COMMUNITY IN OUR LIVES FOR MORE THEN A DECADE ALREADY (MAINLY DUE TO SOCIAL MEDIA).
      WE ARE HUMANS, WE ARE PEOPLE; IF WE DON'T EVER TALK TO EACH OTHER, THEN ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE WE FORGET HOW TO TALK TO EACH OTHER OR EVEN BE ABLE TO TALK AT ALL.
      MENTAL ILLNESSES, ANXIETY DISORDERS, DEPRESSION, SADNESS ARE ALL JUST THE SYMPTOMS OF THE UNDERLYING CAUSE AND THE REASON FOR AN EVIL, BROKEN, AND HORRIBLY CORRUPTED SOCIETY (FAMILY VALUES MUST RETURN!).
      THERE IS ONE CULPRIT, WHICH IS SOCIAL MEDIA, AND THERE IS ONE ANSWER: WE NEED TO SOCIALIZE MORE AND START BUILDING COMMUNITIES EVERY SINGLE DAY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. AS IT WAS SAID PREVIOUSLY, IT DOESN’T NEED TO BE ANYTHING PERSONAL AT ALL, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE ABOUT THINGS THAT ACTUALLY MATTER AND HOW WE CAN HELP TO IMPROVE SOCIETY AND SET IT INTO THE RIGHT DIRECTION (NO MEDICATIONS NEEDED).
      HOW LONG CAN WE GO WITHOUT AIR? HOW LONG CAN WE GO WITHOUT WATER? HOW LONG CAN WE GO WITHOUT FOOD, AND HOW LONG CAN WE GO WITHOUT TALKING BEFORE WE MALFUNCTION AND BREAK DOWN INTO DISARRAY AND CHAOS.
      LESSON FOR THIS ONE: PUT “SOCIAL” MEDIA DOWN ONCE AND FOR ALL AND GO BACK INTO SOCIAL REALITY.
      CLOSING STATEMENT:
      DO ALL THESE AND KEEP THEM IN YOUR HEART AND MIND EVERYDAY AND ONE DAY YOU AND THE REST OF HUMANITY WILL SEE THE LIGHT OF HOPE AT THE END OF THIS DARK UNENDING NIGHTMARE. THEN YOU WILL SAY: ITS OVER, ITS FINALLY OVER.

    Yes. Social media has not only negatively affected the way we socialize and live but even worse it has affected our ability to think on our own feet. It also affects our sense of freedom. Everything people say and do is held under the social media microscope for judging, backlashing, and cancelling, and nothing you say and do goes away for ever.

    I do like social media for finding long-lost friends but in general, I miss these days. I grew up in the 80s and we would go to the mall and do things like this. Christmas shopping was done in person and so was contacting people (or on the phone). When I was in college, I had to do research papers often and I started by going to the library for research. I then would read the information and write down what I needed. I then would start the paper by hand, then type it. I handed it to my professor and pick it up. I went back to get a masters in 2016 and a big difference was when I found the journals online and then used my computer.

    We weren’t so polarized along political or racial boundaries. As he said in the video, you could sit down with someone and have an honest and meaningful discussion. Race wasn’t made to be such an issue. I had friends that were black, Asian and Hispanic and never once did our different races come up. We didn’t agree on everything but we sure didn’t include race in those discussions. It was nothing to go to one another’s house for supper or to go over and help with something. I miss those days.

Some do have that needed balance, and use social media the right way (my sister is a very good example). Just all in what each person feels is their need.

      I feel like the fact that we do access to way more information and news has helped us evolve in a good way as well as it’s made it harder for politicians and “elites” to get away with as much or even if they do get away with it chances are the average joe knows about it and can help shape how we decide to combat it. I grew up right at the cusp, (was born in 89) so I sorta experienced both and can see the positives of both sides. I’m super introverted and I don’t really enjoy socializing but it’s nice to see what people are up to so I don’t feel so isolated either. Times evolve I think that’s a part of living.

IT IS INDEED A DEMONSTRABLE FACT THAT COLORS AFFECT OUR EMOTIONS AND DESENSITIZE US TO WHAT WE SEE ON THE SCREEN AND MENTAL RETARDS OUR BRAINS.
      SCREEN DEVICES ARE THE BIGGEST REASON FOR THE DOWNFALL AND DESTRUCTION OF SOCIAL INTERACTIONS SUCH AS FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE AS WELL AS FOR THE DEGRADATION OF LIFE AND FREEDOM.
      HOWEVER, WHEN YOU SWITCH YOUR DEVICES TO BLACK AND WHITE MODE, YOU ARE ACTUALLY WATCHING TV THE CORRECT WAY. AND IN THAT WAY YOU ARE ALLOWING YOUR MIND TO BE ABLE TO PROPERLY PROCESS AND CALCULATE THE INFORMATION YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN. BECAUSE OF THAT YOU CAN ONLY GET SMARTER FROM THIS POINT ON. THIS FIXES ALL THE ISSUES WITH ADDICTION TO SCREEN DEVICES. IT HAPPENS BECAUSE IT HITS ONLY YOUR PERIPHERAL VISION INSTEAD OF YOUR CENTRAL VISION WHICH SEES ONLY COLORS. IMAGINE HOW INTELLIGENT YOU CAN BECOME SINCE YOU WOULD BE MULTITASKING WITH TWO VISIONS! YOU SEE THE REAL WORLD WITH YOUR MAIN VISION, AND YOU THINK AND FOCUS ON THE DIGITAL WORLD WITH YOUR SECONDARY VISION. NO MORE ADDICTION, NO MORE DISTRACTIONS, AND NO MORE MIND CONTROL AND ENSLAVEMENT.
      WHEN YOU WATCH TV WITH YOUR NIGHT VISION INSTEAD OF YOUR DAY TIME VISION, YOU WILL THINK HARDER, BECOME SMARTER, AND WISER AS WELL AS MORE POWERFUL IN LIFE.
      THIS IS THE MAIN ANSWER TO OUR GRIEVANCES AND PLIGHT. THIS IS A PERFECT ANSWER TO HOW TO OVERCOME THE CANCEROUS OF INFESTATION OF HUMANITY BY TECHNOLOGY.
      IF EVERYONE FOLLOWS THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ALONE, IN ABOUT A FEW YEARS, THE MIND SHOULD RE-SENSITIZE AND HEAL COMPLETELY AND OUR IMAGINATION AND PERSONAL THOUGHTS SHOULD COME BACK TO THE WAY THEY USE TO BE.
      SOCIETY WILL GO BACK TO HOW IT USE TO BE IN THE PAST. SINCE WE HAVE SUFFERED AND LEARNED SO MUCH FROM OUR HARD TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS, HUMAN SOCIETY WILL EVEN BECOME BETTER THAN IT WAS IN THE PAST, I.E., SOMETHING RESEMBLING A UTOPIAN SOCIETY.
      2) ORDER 21 DAY FIX AND 21 DAY FIX EXTREME EXERCISE PROGRAMS:
      THIS IS A MASTERPIECE OF AN PHYSICAL EXERCISE PROGRAM (I WOULD EVEN GO SO FAR AS TO CALL IT EVERGREEN). IT’S THE GREATEST AMONG OTHER SIMILAR PROGRAMS FOR IT’S AMAZINGLY POSITIVE AND WARMHEARTED COACH, IT’S SIMPLICITY AND ABILITY TO GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, AS WELL AS BEING A PERFECT CROSS FIT OF WEIGHTS AND CARDIO TO REPLACE THE GYM.
      THIS PROGRAM IS SO SIMPLE YET SO EFFECTIVE: IT DOESN’T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH CHEAP SEMANTICS OR GIMMICKS.
      EACH DAY YOU DO A 30 MINUTE EXERCISE, IT HITS EVERY MUSCLE GROUPS PERFECTLY AND PRECISELY. THE COACH AUTUMN CALABRESE IS SO DILIGENT, ACCURATE, AND DETAIL CENTRIC (AS WELL AS BEING HUMOROUS). SHE IS VERY DIRECT BUT IS SO SIMPLE. SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO DO IT AND LEAVES NO STONE UNTURNED IN THIS PROGRAM. WHEN YOU START USING THIS PROGRAM, YOU WILL SEE THE AMOUNT OF CARE AND EFFORT THIS GREAT COACH PUT INTO THIS MASTERPIECE OF AN EXERCISE.
      THE GOAL SHOULD BE TO EXERCISE EVERY SINGLE DAY AND MAKE IT INTO YOUR LIFE STYLE. IN THE IDEAL WORLD, EVERYONE MUST BE ATHLETIC AND STRONG, SO THAT WE CAN ACHIEVE OUR HIGHER STATE OF BEING. ITS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE THE STAMINA AND ENERGY SO WE CAN FOCUS ON CREATING A MORE JUST, FAIR, LOGICAL AND RATIONAL SOCIETY, WHERE EVERYONE IS A GENIUS AND PHYSICALLY ATHLETIC.
      3) GO TO SLEEP BEFORE 10:00PM AND WAKE UP AT 6:00AM EVERY SINGLE DAY(RECOMMENDED THAT YOU STOP EATING AT 8:00).
      HAVE A GOOD SLEEP. YOU CAN’T MISTAKE THIS ONE. WITHOUT THE PROPER SLEEP YOU HAVE NO CHANCE OF WINNING THE DAY AND YOU MIGHT AS WELL GIVE UP HERE AND THROW THIS INSTRUCTION IN THE GARBAGE CAN.
      SERIOUSLY THOUGH, SLEEP IS CRUCIAL FOR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH, BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY TIME WHEN THE BODY CAN REPAIR ITSELF BY RECHARGING AND RESETTING ITSELF FOR THE NEXT DAY TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. GOOD SLEEP IS EVERYTHING. WITHOUT IT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FUNCTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY, OR BE ABLE TO HELP ANYONE, OR BE SMART. GOOD SLEEP IS WHERE NEW LIFE IS BORN EVERY MORNING, AND DREAMS ARE WHERE THE MIND CAN FIND NEW IDEAS.
      MAKE SURE TO TURN OFF ALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES EXCEPT YOUR PHONES. WE ALSO RECOMMEND THAT YOU GET A BLACKOUT CURTAIN TO MAKE YOUR ROOM PITCH BLACK, SO THAT YOU WONT HAVE ANY INTERFERENCE IN YOUR SLEEP. A GOOD SLEEP AND A BAD SLEEP CAN MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEALTH AND SICKNESS. WE ALSO RECOMMEND HAVING HERBAL TEAS BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP AND ONCE IN A WHILE DRINKING COFFEE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING(DON'T DRINK COFFEE OFTEN THOUGH).
      AGAIN, MAKE SURE THERE IS ZERO LIGHT ANYWHERE IN THE ROOM AND THAT ALL ELECTRONICS ARE TURNED OFF.
      4) NEVER EAT OUT OF DUMPSTERS AND GARBAGE CANS SUCH AS MCDEVILS AND THE MURDER KINGS:
      FAST FOOD-FAST DEATH, RIGHT? THIS DOESN’T REQUIRE ANY ROCKET SCIENCE TO UNDERSTAND; IT’S SIMPLY COMMON SENSE AND SELF RESPECT.
      THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN DOCUMENTARIES THAT HAVE PROVEN THE DANGERS OF FAST FOOD, BUT WE DON'T THINK WE NEED TO COVER IT HERE.
      FOOD IS JUST FOR FUELING AND AND REPAIRING OUR BODIES. IT’S ALSO IMPORTANT FOR IMPROVING AND STRENGTHENING OUR MINDS AND BODIES FOR DAY TO DAY CHALLENGES.
      EAT ONLY MIXED NUTS, VEGETABLES, FRUITS, AND OF COURSE MEATS. ALSO EAT HIGH QUALITY WHOLE BREAD AND DRINK WHOLE MILK. BOTTOM LINE, DON’T EAT TRASH FOOD AND STOP SUPPORTING EVIL INDUSTRIES THAT ARE ABOUT POISONING AND RUINING PEOPLE.
      5) BE OUTSIDE EVERYDAY IF YOU CAN
      SPEND TIME IN NATURE, BREATHE LOTS OF FRESH AIR, GET A LOT OF SUN, TAKE YOUR DOG OR CAT FOR A WALK, AND JUST SPEND TIME WITH PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW, OR TALK TO PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW YET. TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT ACTUALLY MATTER, NOT PERSONAL GARBAGE THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. SPEAK ABOUT SOLUTIONS, CONTRIBUTE AN IDEA THAT SERVES AND HELPS THE ONES IN NEED AND THE ONES WHO DESIRE GOOD.
      THIS GOES BACK TO MAIN POINT OF THERE NO LONGER BEING ANY KIND OF SOCIAL NETWORKING OR ANY KIND OF COMMUNITY IN OUR LIVES FOR MORE THEN A DECADE ALREADY (MAINLY DUE TO SOCIAL MEDIA).
      WE ARE HUMANS, WE ARE PEOPLE; IF WE DON'T EVER TALK TO EACH OTHER, THEN ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE WE FORGET HOW TO TALK TO EACH OTHER OR EVEN BE ABLE TO TALK AT ALL.
      MENTAL ILLNESSES, ANXIETY DISORDERS, DEPRESSION, SADNESS ARE ALL JUST THE SYMPTOMS OF THE UNDERLYING CAUSE AND THE REASON FOR AN EVIL, BROKEN, AND HORRIBLY CORRUPTED SOCIETY (FAMILY VALUES MUST RETURN!).
      THERE IS ONE CULPRIT, WHICH IS SOCIAL MEDIA, AND THERE IS ONE ANSWER: WE NEED TO SOCIALIZE MORE AND START BUILDING COMMUNITIES EVERY SINGLE DAY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. AS IT WAS SAID PREVIOUSLY, IT DOESN’T NEED TO BE ANYTHING PERSONAL AT ALL, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE ABOUT THINGS THAT ACTUALLY MATTER AND HOW WE CAN HELP TO IMPROVE SOCIETY AND SET IT INTO THE RIGHT DIRECTION (NO MEDICATIONS NEEDED).
      HOW LONG CAN WE GO WITHOUT AIR? HOW LONG CAN WE GO WITHOUT WATER? HOW LONG CAN WE GO WITHOUT FOOD, AND HOW LONG CAN WE GO WITHOUT TALKING BEFORE WE MALFUNCTION AND BREAK DOWN INTO DISARRAY AND CHAOS.
      LESSON FOR THIS ONE: PUT “SOCIAL” MEDIA DOWN ONCE AND FOR ALL AND GO BACK INTO SOCIAL REALITY.
      CLOSING STATEMENT:
      DO ALL THESE AND KEEP THEM IN YOUR HEART AND MIND EVERYDAY AND ONE DAY YOU AND THE REST OF HUMANITY WILL SEE THE LIGHT OF HOPE AT THE END OF THIS DARK UNENDING NIGHTMARE. THEN YOU WILL SAY: ITS OVER, ITS FINALLY OVER.

      Social media isn't as important to me as talking on a phone. Or in person, pre-pandemic. But if I am not up to doing homework, I will (rarely) go on Facebook/Metaverse to chat for a few hours. Then make up the time, the following week, to study and then go online to the school's website to take the exam online and get answers within a few minutes. If I have a question/comment, I'll email the instructor or staff, and wait about two days to get an answer. I'll call them on my phone if I need an immediate and answer, if they have one. Otherwise, wait for an email. (not a problem, only the wait-time).

    It makes me glad that I was born in the early 80s when social media didn't exist and I didn't have to worry about my personal photos and other things posting online for the whole world to know.
    I'm even more grateful that in 1999, my bullies never bullied me online; back then, they were still ignorant about computers and social websites (this was before MySpace). They hated them as they associated with school and that it was for 'nerds' only. Cell phones didn't have any apps or cameras, heck, even posting videos online wasn't a thing as it'll take hours to load due to dial-up. I was very lucky that they were too stupid and never got around to making fake accounts as I didn't have any back then nor have chat room, just email which they never knew as I made them two years after I left school. They still do not know to this day and I rather keep it that way.

      IN ORDER TO HAVE THE GREAT RESULT WE HAVE NEVER HAD BEFORE, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO THE GREAT LEAP WE HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE.

      THE BIGGEST DOWNFALL OF HUMANITY WAS THE INVENTION OF COLOR TELEVISION.

    Ahh the good ol days, writing letters , saying hi to each other as you pass by and hanging out with friends. Funny part was you always knew where everybody was and hanged out and meet them there at the usual time.

    During the '50's, my grandparents would tell me when they didn't have TV's in their lives when they were my age.. Today, I'm telling my grandchildren when I didn't have hand held devices when I was their age.

      Perhaps do, but I expect TV veas never as harmful to society as social media/digital world is.

      I remember as a kid seeing articles and books on how television was a threat to children's morals, intelligence, and creativity.

    Born in 93 was kinda right in the middle for me. As a young kid we still played outside then with my teenage years came MySpace and if u had a computer then most likely we had a MySpace and for me it was something to customize for a bit and message a few people. Gradually leading up to FB and all that other stuff. I’ve actually never had Snapchat or instagram all I got is this YT and I’m still getting the negative effects with so much screen time

    I remember when I started college in Fall 1965, grades were posted using Social Security numbers. Eventually they switched to the last 4 numbers.

      They were still doing that at my college in the late ‘70s. Also, in the state where I grew up, your Social Security number was used as your driver’s license number.
