Within the age of digital communication, social media has turn into an integral a part of our every day lives. Whereas they provide us numerous alternatives for data, communication, and leisure, sadly there are sometimes instances that they act as a discipline of exaggeration, misinformation and depth.
By Lysandros Lysandros creator of the bilingual e book entitled Pool Camon
So the facility of social media is unquestionable. From a microsamon or an harmless remark, every part might be blown up in big dimensions. Social media media act as magnifying lenses that not solely multiply the eye on a problem but in addition infiltrate it past its true dimension. So a small element (the flea) turns into the start line of a strategy of gradual swelling, till we attain the outsized camel – a worrying state of affairs that urgently wants prognosis and correction.
So a small occasion can ultimately tackle explosive dimensions. By way of platforms, akin to x (former twitter) or Instagram, customers reproduce, remark, enlarge, and infrequently add pointless drama. The flea turns into a camel, as each facet is analyzed, swelled, and infrequently falsified to match one of many many and varied narratives circulating on-line. Exaggeration usually prices. A really small difficulty that swells (the flea that’s made by camel) can overshadow and even displace any critical and vital points. From a small drawback every part can explode in astronomical dimensions. In actual fact, there are sometimes non -existent fantasies and desires.
The above unjustified conditions could cause critical psychological stress. This stress deprives us of the chance to suppose coolly and to rationally and in depth look at the occasions, because the Stoic College of Philosophy has taught, founding father of which was the Cypriot Zenoi (334 BC – 262 BC. .). The entire above have been largely mentioned and even studied by college researchers. At this level I want to level out a selected difficulty, which belongs to the identical class and which is as critical because the talked about, but it surely has been uncared for. One of many many badly having our personal web period appears, for my part, that many individuals, intentionally or not, promote, by social networks, an inaccurate and deceptive picture of themselves. Additionally, only a few individuals appear to care concerning the training and ethical values of their fellow people. Quite the opposite, their essential curiosity appears to be the outward look and demonstration of wealth materials – whether or not they’re lovely, nicely -dressed, elegant, skinny and cash.
As well as, the overwhelming majority of individuals of their exits are the primary objective of them to be seen, photographed, networking and selling their new and costly acquisitions (clothes, cellphones, automobiles, and so on.) somewhat than actually entertain mates, acquaintances, and themselves. Subsequently, the general public projection of their very own bodily, psychological and non secular standing isn’t essentially appropriate with their very own true self and infrequently divergent from actuality. Moreover, many individuals normally have a minimum of a bit of imperfection in look that suffers their lives. When the same old little flaw is initially detected, somebody wasted a variety of time in entrance of a mirror and meditates for it. Sadly, when somebody has one thing that bothers him and groans him in thoughts on a regular basis, the issue step by step inflates and turns into greater than it’s in reality.
Subsequently, one can turn into fully absorbed with these considerations all 12 months lengthy. In spite of everything, a small difficulty can turn into a really disagreeable, excruciating and painful drawback. In different phrases, one finally ends up once more “making the Camon Camon”. On this approach, some trivial points turn into critical, oppressive, and generally insufferable issues particularly in affected and delicate youngsters.
If we resist the temptation to “make the chilly camel”, we are able to provide you with a correct and balanced end result that’s in good concord with actuality, which was and stays the primary educating of Stoic philosophy.
