Sometimes it feels absolutely necessary, because I can't accept the idea of being a "digital bystander." I feel at times that I must weigh in, and I try to do so as respectfully as possible. I also try to limit the number of "controversial" posts I make, but sometimes I really wrestle with the desire to use the medium of social media to expose my friends to material about critically important social issues that they may not otherwise be aware of. Where do I draw the line? When is it appropriate or helpful to share certain things, especially when I know that my politically diverse group of FB don't necessarily agree with my political views? What would a person with digital courage do? The answers to these questions are becoming more and more complex as I get older and more passionate about injustices in this country and around the world. Hmmmm... Thank you, as always, for giving me the some things to chew on, Greenie! -AndreiaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233962073047303082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373578337875164909.post-26047200861709828612014-05-16T22:27:35.829-07:002014-05-16T22:27:35.829-07:00Shirley, I'm glad that some part of this was a...Shirley, I'm glad that some part of this was able to resonate with you!

This is a drift away from 'introspective essay' to use your phrase, but a topic that struck me.It does surprise me how easily we as people can be lead astray from living our convictions, even online. We have to be aware and constantly examining ourselves to be sure our actions are in line with our beliefs. Boy, character is hard work!

I for one do not want to live a fragmented life where my persona changes when i can hide behind the virtual walls of cyberspace.
