Immorality
Hello #qccommunity, happy weekend. I trust you are enjoying your weekend and having a great time with family and loved ones. I welcome you to my blog.
Immorality is seen as a vice that violates the accepted norms of social life. Some behaviours are vices and, as a result, are frowned upon whenever an individual is seen exhibiting such behaviour. Some of them include stealing, lying, bullying others, and being abusive, among others.
On the other hand, religiously, certain characters are not tolerated, and some doctrines or books guide the attitude and behaviours of the religious kingdom. Meaning that when one goes against the standards set, the person faces criticism, including rebuke and counseling, or measures instituted in those books or doctrines to correct such abnormalities.
Today, the desire to socialize and command cheap popularity has influenced people to live deceitful lives on social media. Social media has become a place of clout chasing. Vices and wrong characters have been exhibited at a high rate of impunity. While many have weaponised social media to commit various degrees of cybercrime, others bully, body shame, and even stalk their fellow humans to demean, cause pain, and even instill fear in others to look superior.
However, the same social media has always been a tool for media turnaround for genuine people and businesses who use it professionally to make ends meet. It has also been a quick messaging and a turnkey advertising tool.
Before now, when an individual violates ethical standards in society or the religious community, strict disciplinary measures were taken to punish and correct the individual to prevent a repeat of the offense. In some dire situations, the individual is sent to correctional service centres or receives direct chastisement. However, it seems things have changed as individuals with dubious characters are cheered when they manipulate and perpetrate atrocities in society.
For example, cybercrimes are perceived by some individuals as a smart means of earning. When the wealthy go wrong, the system is manipulated. They get away without being punished. Meanwhile, it is not the same for an average man. Discrimination, hatred, abuse, and cyberbullying are creating an imbalance in a world that is already facing a lot of chaos, toxicity, wars, rumours of wars, and natural disasters here and there.
People derive joy in humiliating and causing pain to others willfully, and most of the time, they get away with it. There is no love lost between neighbours, friends, and even family members. Everybody wants a fair share of proceeds from social media and a quick means of making money without minding whose ox is gored.
However, we have the right to make good choices to return to the path of doing the right thing, raising our voices against the wrong while cheering the right, and the time is now; tomorrow may be too late.
