The social media generation

My heart goes out to all the children and youth especially who have only ever known a “social media world”, and I reflect back on how life was so different in so many beautiful ways for earlier generations before we were all so instantly connected.

With that in mind, even with everything that is positive about a connected world, the youth and children of today have to deal with something in their lives that no generation before them ever needed to.

I used the example earlier in this topic of how I sustained an injury that lasted for weeks which allowed me to repay a spiritual debt.  It’s not like that these days, not to the same degree, with the global spiritual healing that is happening for everyone right now.  Spiritual healing has accelerated and takes far less time than before, and as well as this, looking at it spiritually, there is leniency for those who have never known a world without social media.

Above all else, a child or youth in this social media era will find genuine leniency spiritually for anything that they do, from their earliest days, such is the toll that the proliferation and accessibility of social media has, or will have on their lives.

Simply put, with how I feel, it’s not as easy for children and young adults to find their “inner compass” to the same degree that was more-or-less second nature for previous generations, my generation included, where for the most part we had clearer, less cluttered, and less preoccupied minds.

God with His completely understanding, compassionate and loving nature recognises how social media is like a cloud that hangs over the youth and children of today.

God’s compassion is beyond measure, as I say, and He is with us throughout each and every step of our life’s journey, and everything is taken into consideration if we ever do something that isn’t in our best interests.  He knows the goodness that is in our hearts, and He knows that sometimes things are truly beyond our control.  He knows and feels what you go through, what we all go through.

Since the advent of social media, young minds have less ability to determine what is right and what is wrong, out of no fault of their own.
