Gratitude ~ Technology 2

Greetings Dear Reader,

One of the things about technology that I vastly value is the internet.  The world of informant available with just a few keystrokes astounds and impresses.  The vast sea of music that can be experienced is beautiful.  The images of nature and the cosmos give one opportunity to experience more of the world than in any time in history.

The truth that exists in all things is there as well.  Rule 32 says that if one searches long enough one can find anything on the internet.  Unfortunately, as humans do with all things, there is Rule 34, “If it exists, there is also pornography or sexual content related to it.”  We have taken a vast field of information and seeded it with mines of things that are not healthy for us.

I realize that one may disagree with this but that is my position.  The dangers and abuses make me no less grateful for the available information, experiences, and learning.  This also brings me to the facet of gratitude that we so often avoid.  With the vast sea of knowledge available through the internet comes great responsibility. 

If we are truly to show our gratitude for things like this we must use them well. We must not abuse what they provide or use their provision to harm others.  We must not take it for granted.  I must not use it to waste time or indulge my baser self. 

I am grateful for the internet but I do not wish to miss the opportunity to evidence that gratitude by using what I am given responsibly.  The power is there.  It is vast and almost free.  It must only be used for good.  What are your thoughts Dear Reader?

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Aramis Thorn
