When you join Twitter, its like walking into an emotional maze. It is a place or state of mind where you can observe humanity at its best and worst. A broad spectrum of the intelligent, uniformed, kind, evil, serious, humorous, and the most disconcerting tweets are from those who deliberately repeat fabrications and unwarranted vulgarity while responding to reasonable and sometimes seemingly kind statements.
Like Facebook, Twitter has fallen prey to the lonely, uniformed and evil tongues. I anticipated to have interesting and enlightening conversations, with persuasion, enlightenment and compromise being the prevailing methods to resolve differences of opinion. After all, shouldent we learn from one another.
After twenty-seven years of trying, it took Twitter to convince me I cannot persuade, enlighten, or find compromise with a troubled, closed mind.
When I came across unfair and vulgar comments made to someone kind like Vice-President’s wife, Mrs. Pence, I decided to close the account and never return. Then suddenly the next comment popps up and it is intelligent, kind and enlightening, I am lured to stay. Knowing how to “block” the vulgar participants helps.
It was my publisher’s suggestion to open a Twitter account to network and market my book. I’ve concluded Twitter is unhealthy because the human heart looks for consistency, kindness and enlightenment, not ignorance and vulgarity. Sadly, the Twitter population mixes these elements creating an emotional yoyo effect; one minute you are enlightened, next you are outraged by the vulgarity. There is no enlightenment or satisfaction in that style of communication.
It is sad to see humanity trough the Twitter prism. I ‘don’t believe Twitter adds any value to anyone, it is merely a venting medium.
Maybe the old-fashioned way of gathering with friends and neighbors is the most enjoyable and productive way of communicating.

I have a Twitter account. But I don’t use it much.
I do use Facebook.
And Instagram and now I have a snap account too.
Social media.
It is supposed to be a place to keep all your friends and acquaintances up to date, or in the loop…
I often post pictures more than I write updates.
I read only when i have extra boring time.
Like waiting for an appointment
And all my emails are finished.
When I do read I feel the need to ‘share’ what’s i have read.
The same is true for your writings.
Or teachings really.
I want to share you and your words with all that may need to hear what you have to say.
As far as troll on twitter, people should feel shame for their negativity towards others.
But they feel brave behind the keyboard I guess.
They’d never say these things for real.
Hardly.
It is great to disagree
But yes ,
Can’t fight with stupid.
Then there’s no winner.
It’s all emotional.
I strive to be kind.
Same to the janitor as the governor
What are mothers teaching these days?
Strive to get ahead of your neighbors.
We need to lift each other.
More.
And that is courageous.
💜
