There’s a looking for positivity on Social Medias, but usually it’s not the active research we really need in order to have this World changed.

Putting a photo on FB may have many meanings, even if it is the most human picture of this world.

People often share on Social not because moved by a feeling of humanity, but moved by a just a feeling (a feeling without meanings).
This is about an instinctive movement, that aims to release the energy charge (pathos?) the post had generated as soon as possible.

This is very dangerous, because we are losing the ability to contain the emotion and let it be enriched within us, and we are regressing more and more into instinctual movements of the stimulus-response type.

Maybe you’re thinking about all the good memes you find on the Web.

In fact, we are experiencing an increasingly fracture between the online and the offline, very alarming because it contributes our Society to become more and more schizophrenic and disconnected from the reality principle.

That said, I don’t mean we should not try, I mean we just have to be careful not to be fooled by appearances, perhaps because we, first of all, are looking for positive, so we want to see it at all costs…

What do you think?
Do you agree with what I said?
I wait you in the comments…
