Recently, the buzz online are the effects that Facebook has on its users especially for those who are heavy Facebook users. To clear the air, Facebook has been a wonderful tool in establishing and renewing friendships and contact with people globally. Here are some good things that came out of Facebook. Families have drawn closer to each other, friendships are strengthened. Bridges were built. Relationships have improved in many fronts. However, it is obvious that anything that may be good and beneficial can also be dangerous and harmful.
This morning, I was tuning in to a mandarin counseling programme on the radio. Please take note that the name of wife in the case is undisclosed for confidentiality. The counselor cited the case of a wife who was contemplating divorce because she was terribly affected by her husband who has been contacting another woman via Facebook in the night. She had trouble sleeping and ultimately contacted that counselor to address the private matter that was bothering her. Meanwhile, the husband was not cooperating because he did not see any wrong in relating intimately to this other woman on Facebook. He may even feel that his wife is unreasonable and sensitive.
The case brought out the urgency to address possible and imminent problems that can emerge with human frailty and the lack of discernment, self-control and vigilance.
It is increasing dangerous to find a pop up to ask if one likes to flirt with a total stranger when all you want to do is to take a look at the birthday calendar. Here, we are talking about the danger when Facebook users can be children. Our children are therefore exposed to unnecessary danger and temptation.
It is for this reason that when I set up my vocal training website, I had to put this down:
PLEASE NOTE
All advertisements & pop-ups are not representative of us!
For the simple reason that I have absolutely no control of any advertisement, that may appear at my website.
