Remembering the times, when I went to the grocery, I could only buy just one piece of thing like candy and nuts, chocolate etc. with my pocket money. It was so precious for me and I got very excited when the time came to eat. Even if it was the only piece, We could share it with our friend incase she/ he wanted. Because we knew that our friends can long for thing we bought. We use a term and an expression for that in our language. The oldies say there is "a right for one's eye". What does that mean? This can be explained such as if you eat or drink something near your friend, he/she can desire it and may be cannot say. Then this person keeps an eye on you. therefore you should share it. We were grown like that. We were taught that "you share because you care" of another one. This is also an Islamic deed. "You can't sleep with full stomach when your neighbour in need is hungry" The motto in our minds changed into something different from what was taught. But why?
By the time the social media entered in our lives, we learned the term "share". You shared your feelings, you shared the happy moments of your lives, you shared the places you've visited....But while sharing we missed something. What were the others ,the friends in the social media thinking? When they see where we are or what we eat, how would they feel? Would they really share our feelings or envy? According to a scientific research, social media makes low-income people unhappy. They feel worried for their life for not having enough moments to share. They will not share luxurios life so they will not get "likes" If you ask me whether I share or not, the answer is of course yes. But day by day I started to share rarely and stopped sharing many things about my personal life. May be I tried to make an empathy on people's shares. I noticed that a sharing competition started among people. The happiness meant that if you are on holiday, if you eat dinner in a cool place, if you have a wonderful birthday party, you are the happiest person on earth. The more you spend, the happier you feel!
On the other hand, sometimes I see some useful organizations on the social media about helping people in need, such as helping a sick child. This makes me believe there are still sincere and kind-hearted people all over the world. I think these people and organizations will make our world better place to live and make us believe all the people are part of a big family in all colors, languages and nations.
