Susan LaffertyIsolation. The ancient proverb speaks true about present reality. In our connected world.
Where media takes a word like “social” and turns it upside down.
“The one who isolates himself pursues selfish desires;
he rebels against all sound wisdom.”
Proverbs 18:1
Words and more words. Flying across the internet.
Strutting through various forms of media. Selling incivility and foolishness.
Missives dismissive.
Declarations disruptive.
Treacherous.
Fragments of divided hearts scatter. In the winds of social media.
Bits and pieces of pride. Rebellion. Hate. Anger.
And the very avenues that can draw people together, turn and twist. Break trust. Splinter relationships.
Slander and gossip crowd in.
Calculated deception.
Articulated for the very purpose of division and destruction.
