Society prevails at
the behest of networking. People networking has reached heights where every
single move is captured. The argument of boon or bane is out of limits that
self-realization is not in our scope. Why?
Networking is definitely
a boon to this magnanimous era. The limits should be defined by moral values
and not by social popularity. Every one of us can definitely visualize the face
of the world without social networks. The questions is how far are we willing
to go to bring back our age old golden merits? Networking is an ‘Art’ and no
doubt that this concept has been misunderstood to the extent.
I would classify
networking in to two – ‘Promotional networking’ and ‘self-realized networking’.
Promotional Networking as for
it says, develop your network by promoting cooked up knowledge. Self-realized networking on the
other hand is where our network emerges and sustains for our values and sheer
excellence. The hilarious part is both are very well interrelated. Self-realized
networking is what every one of us strive for, but we land up in ‘promotional’ mode
thinking that our ‘self-realization’ would pay off one day. The truth being
every one of us have a similar notion making ourselves to clog in ‘Promotional’
mode.
Let me move out of equivocal
theories and come to reality. How many of us have checked Facebook or tweets to
see the likes and comments for our status and photos? I know people assessing themselves
by checking their Facebook at odd hours. Do you think that people know your
hidden talents and moral values? How many times have we sought for an advice or
feedback from our close inmates? If you are given a choice to either split up
or grab the wholesome of your special aura – which one would you prefer? In the
answer lies our destiny. Question would arise as to how a few people get
recognized for their endowment. The truth is they were not witnessed during
their dark days. But this didn’t push them to ‘promotional mode’. A well-renowned
example is Mahakavi Subramanya Bharathi.
He was never acknowledged for his legacy. People indeed thought that he was
a shame to the society. It was his spark why women are now equal to men in India
(Controversies out of this change are for another day J ).
Every theory has an
extension and this promotional art is not an exception. There is this union of
people who appreciates the promotional upgrades, not once or twice but every
time. Many of us might have thought what this myth is all about. This undeniably
is a pun (not intentionally) but invariably a bipolar feeling. If you keenly
notice they never succumb to unpretentious skills. Who is to be held liable?
Now that I have cut
the brass tacks, let us discuss ‘Self-realization’. We are bound by laws where
we are compelled to know the best part as well. If you are genuine you will
understand the self-realized outcome. You might not be recognized but you will
feel the satisfaction. This doesn’t mean not to post photos on Google +,
share your views on twitter or update your Facebook with news and values. These
are definite to endure yourself and enrich your society. Limit it to an extent
whereby you don’t fake your identity. Don’t give up your personal life to a
network whereby the world can peep in to your home.
This decrier is not
an awakening call but a self-realization request. I am open to any critic
comment as I am unsure whether this piece would ignite self-realized thoughts
and ideas.
Privacy laws are
not only for others to protect your identity but also to ourselves to preserve
our own values.
