Social networking site abuse…[Can this be a joke?]

Let me tell you a joke. There is nothing people cannot do to get money in this life. Since, the advent of social networking sites, a lot of sad, lonely and depressed people are finding solace. There is a place [website] to while away time. But is time supposed to be wasted? There are various forms of abuse of time and chance. Some abuses are in guise of pasting indecent pictures, videos, articles, links and more. The abuse is becoming more and more rampant by the day. One of these abuses is in guise of people wanting to create a group or the other for the purpose of just starting one.

Recently, some folks were planning to start a forum on a social networking site like “Facebook”. They thought of what they could call their new group. When they could not arrive at a reasonable conclusion, since it was a purposeless group they resulted to call it anything. At their wits end, they had a funny idea. It was with an ulterior motive of raising funds for personal purpose. So they created their social networking site group. It was such that were on “Facebook”. This group was named: “More money”. Their new group is for those who need some money. I couldn’t stop laughing when I heard their story. “Hurry! Join this new group on “Facebook” for those who want some more money?”

Alas! That is ridiculous! Who doesn’t want money for Christ sake?! And the funniest aspect of it was that if you are interested, all you need do is just click on join this group icon. And then you are a member and you can share the money also. But then, you must invite more people to that group. And then the money will not go round the group members any more since a lot of people are involved. In order to solve the problem; everyone who joined had to pay for membership and registration identity .And then, some money was raised again. And the Admin of the group got “richer”! They duped poor people!

Actually, this sound too exaggerated to be true. The fact is that some groups are not necessary at all on social networking sites. There are some irrelevant causes whose activities don’t transcend the internet. So why waste precious time on such? Here is the moral lesson: Don’t just join groups without participating in it. It’s a waste of time and an abuse of Social networking sites. Don’t start a fabricated fund raising group. You will soon be caught up with! And don’t give your money to causes you are not sure, which you have not thoroughly investigated

The 21st century crime!

Its a crazy, so world full of scammers![criminals].It’s so funny and ridiculous that, you may never realize how the epidemics of scamming[crimes] can go beyond what we ever bargained for. It is not even enough to beware and be warned of scammers. It is important not to encourage it. It is necessary we pray against It. It is vital to cast out the spell from people through serious enlightenment. It is very vital to think of the solution to it. There is always an alternative, if only people can think deeply.

Scammers are all over our world today. It’s like everybody is trying to scam everybody else. It is those who are greedy for gains and not contented that falls into their trap. It is those who are shallow and don’t ask questions in details that fall a victim.

I wonder when will scamming ever come to an end? I think it is a question we need to ask daily. We are fragrance and flavor in this world. We are the salt of the earth; we are the light of the world. Let us think about this!

May be the problem has to do with ignorance. May be we need to pass the right information around. The information that will be boldly written that internet crime can reap a nation of her values, dignity, reputation and worth. The unique information that will say that, her valuable worth could be drained. It can lead to gradual loss to all. It can lead us back into slavery and primitiveness. It can lead to an unexpected national bankruptcy which we may never foresee. It can be a two edged sword in guise! It is a gradual theft that will later lead to an unconscious robbing of an entire nation; which you can never imagine. You may never believe it if you are told that this crime will someday lead to some part of the population refusing to work and embrace the dignity of labor. Then, there will be a great intellectual loss. There will be a gradual lowering of the people that falls within the work-force in the nation. We will keep increasing in population but fewer people will be doing the work to serve others. A slower production in the industrial sector will arise. It will lead to scarcity and poverty. As a result , those who  were working but having no result as compared to those who are scammers will become frustrated. They will feel cheated; they will feel their efforts are not appreciated. Then, the race will no longer be to celebrate those things that really matter most. Rather, the mundane, obscene, vulgarity and more. The beauty of life will be lost. Then the fight for such things like ethics, character ,dignity of labor, morality, right customs, excellence, moral standards, values, respects and more; will all be lost.

The 21st century crime is cheap-wealth hunting…not only is the robber a person unknown but he is also untaught. That is to say that, in robbing others, he was never well informed that himself is being robbed! His act of robbing through the internet is devaluing himself indirectly. People need to be taught, enlightened and thoroughly informed that there is nothing like a free meal in this life. Everything has its own consequence and rewards. There is a law of the harvest; a law of consequence and repercussions. And this is where you and I need to wake up. We cannot leave this to an agency or a non-profit organization to handle single-handedly. All hands must be on deck. We must never celebrate a fraudulent rich individual in our community and society at large. We must stop to give them an audience everywhere we see them.
