Facebook!?

[scooter]

facebook is like Cable TV where you get good stuff like Gurbani Channels etc but also the movie channels as well. but the damage done by it always overweights the goodness. But you can't do anything. We have to move with world. i tried deleting facebook account many times but evry now and then i had to reactivate it. You can't avoid it.

Facebook nowadays has become a disease amongst many people...

Although it has many benefits such as keeping in touch with friends, getting up to date information about events and so on alongside this it has become a big distraction for many people. When people seem to get time out of their busy lives, the things people first think of doing are logging into facebook and catching up with other people's lives which may include gossip and a whole of information which is best if not known to some people.

If someone decides to open a facebook account they should weigh the pros and cons of it and ask themselves the reason they really using it for.... if its occassional use just to see whats going on then thats ok but if it then turns to online flirting, messaging and spreading hate between people then one should reflect over their actions once again. Also facebook has shown to spoil many friendships and so on so people should use it with care.

facebook - as all internet mediums including emails - all virtual - therefore cannot be trusted. b

face to face communication is best of all as it's real not virtual

facebook doomed to fail.

facebook has zilch to do with sikhe and parchar cannot be increased via it no way.

ofcourse it can be increased...you can have sikhi on your news feed..24/7 if you join sikhi related groups...going gupt is not the solution..

facebook is for losers who want to show off their friends list and brag about how popular they are.

like everything, its all about how it is used.

like a laptop, you use it right, then its an amazing tool, wrongly, and its bad.

how you use your mouth, you speak good and it brings peace to others, you speak wrongly and you can break someones heart.

all things work on this concept.

Facebook its just an small element in bigger maya jhandal.

Gurmukh is maya vich udasi. Gurbani- bhai gurdas ji explains the nature of maya vich udhasi by giving example of- raja janak. He was raja and had raniyas (consort wives), he was raja, jogi, bhogi yet he was also nirlaip gurmukh(without any attachment).

Gurmukh nature should be like that - if hakum comes- within one blink of eye- tyaag everything, everyone surrounding you. It comes with practice, i can personally give my experience-i admit, that i m attached with my mobile phone, at times when i am waking from sleep- i do think about death, that very moment, its golden moment of truth- same mobile and everyone surrounding you(family) that i m attached to seems like maya trap (dandal/deep ditch) and that very moment - my atma strives move upwards (away from maya trap) with naam simran...reminds of that scene of keenu reaves in Constantine where his astral body escapes from maya.

Hopefully, one day my time will come too along with others to free from this prison.
