An Edited Life

What has social media done to us?  Consider this, for instance:

“We edit our personalities and lives on-line to get the hoped-for response from others – affirmation and attention.

“Social scientists tell us that the more time we spend on social media, the happier we perceive our friends to be, and the sadder we feel consequently.” 
~Christianity Today -  January/February 2017


This seems to me to be the opposite of living a full and meaningful life.  Are all of you really all that happy?  Am I really that great? 

Are we sad about our own apparent lack of a good life?  Social media tends to make us think so. 

My advice – get a grip.  Approve of yourself.  You are not as bad as all that and “they” are not as good as all that. 

That is all!
