Social commitment
I have a Facebook account as well as Facebook page and a
photography group that I moderate. On my personal account, I handpick my
contacts who are there as friends. On the page and group, I do allow, with
limited moderation, those who should be there.
The reason obviously is to select the audience who I wish to
read my thoughts or will be interested to read it and whose activities interest
me. Obviously, it will be the same with every socially committed person.
Recently, a virus hit one of my accounts. I did a
housekeeping of my accounts and removed some names I genuinely thought should
not be to in my friends’ or contact list.
I believe in the saying, “You are known by the company you
keep.”
Social media should be used effectively. If one has free
time, it is better to do something good, voluntary or social work, utilising
the knowledge skills rather than wasting time propagating what another person
or his family or friends do or how his family is or what his social status is.
It is always best to stay focused on good things.
