Anyways let’s move towards one more interesting topic of the day, of our Sunday School!! Any guess? What we are going to talk about today? No? Alright, we’ll soon discuss it in depth. So how many of you using the Social media? Almost all of you, right? So let’s amended that question to how many of you aren’t available on Social media platform? Very few, right? We can say that we all are surrounding with so Social Media platform, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Snapchat, etc. but forget to act Socially. Isn’t it? The topic of the day is the outcome of structural thinking process of my mind when sometimes ago I read that Facebook/Instagram will disable like button from it due to some really logical and sensible reasons. So before start putting opinion here let’s start from the roots itself.

FACEBOOK, the very first Social Media of the Modern Day or say the Revolution of Social Connecting. In February, 2004 a University going Student namely Mark Zuckerberg along with other Harvard College students/roommates initially launched the Facebook. The main aim of this website is to connect the long distance friend with each other so that communication process become easier and smooth. One can catch up with their friends and by that mean they can all maintain Social get to gather in most possible way. In starting phase of Facebook, the people who attending 13 years of Age only can able to registered themselves on this so called Social Media Platform, but as soon as it becomes popular among the people of 13 to 18 years of age group, their family members, their younger siblings becomes so much attractive to this new Revolutionary Social Connection.

The primary features of Facebook includes, to share Personal Images/Photo/Videos, to give/receive Like by other friend, Comment on the same, Share it with other friends and all. Subsequently other Social media platforms join the race with each other as mentioned above. They all started the rat race to provide best services to their clients and launched many other features on the same. They started providing Free Voice/Video call Services, Location sharing to their users by time being in force in early decade of 2010s. Then enters the big Players like Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn in the market and brings a unpredicted storm in the world of Social Media. At the time, Social Media isn’t remained a Social Media Anymore, it becomes a Medium of Fun, Happiness, and good time. But no one is able to know that one thing is swiftly takes place there in hidden mode, The Greed which leads to Lust, which leads to the Jealousy!!

Justin Rosenstein, Assistant Developer of the Like button of Facebook, opened up in public regarding misgiving of it in late 2019. At the time he told that Social media becomes too addictive that one people can do anything for it. The words aren’t wrong in anyways, if you don’t believe please watch Social Dilemma, at least once, the mirror image of ourselves truly reflecting there. He said in the documentary too that we Human lost control on ourselves, and can breach any limit for that mule. Social Media is just a medium to connect with each other but no one really no ones care about the consequences of it. We never ever try to reveal the dark side of it. It is Harmful but we find Peace there, right?

Like, Comment, Share. These are some basic features of any Social Media Platform. Everyone starts giving and receiving lots of likes and comments over pictures/posts of their or of others, at this point of time everything looks good and well planned strategy of different Social Platforms but no one give an attempt to recognize the real shit behind that Like, Unlike game. People becomes Jealous by seeing the less likes on their post compared to the likes received by their friends. They feels tense, unsecured and went into depression by not getting enough likes on their post. They start judging themselves which creates the highest level of soreness into one. The platforms which are created for Fun becomes the Deadly Nun!!

Over the year ago, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook make a statement (Not in Public in Private) that sooner like button will be disappeared from the Facebook, in Instagram subsequently. After one year, i.e. January 2021, Facebook rolls out new designed pages and drops the LIKE button from it. The initial process was start in US, then it will cover all over the world, isn’t it Good? See late is good than Never. No doubt it’s like to bridge a Pool after Rain, but at least from now the like-unlike game will going to stop. On the other side it will definitely adversely impact on Social media Influencer, but for the sake of whole community one can’t simply Grow!!

Look, Like Matters but always in right Manners!! If you wish that, which is almost impossible then No matters Who You Are, chances are more that you’ll be sink if you madly follow something or already became insane. There are certain rules, norms of social media to follow, if you are really using the so called SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM!

• Don’t go crazy after Likes, Comments and Connections. They all are Marketable!
• Don’t believe everything is True if it possess high volume of Likes.
• Likes for Likes then what for Unlike? Is there any option except Leaving?
• Like only what you Like, not what other forces you to Like either Directly of Indirectly.
• Remain Social Media, just a Medium of Fun and Entertainment.
• One Like is enough to ruin your whole Social Status, you made on those platforms.

Solution: So Much talk about the good and bad effects of using the Social Media Platform’s feature but in the end we all are looking for the solution, aren’t we? And any guess what is that Solution? So the solution here is that, Like Button should be there but the No. of likes only visible to the person who post/publish something. By this way the effect of possible Jealousy can be sorted out and influencers too can perform well through organizing in best way.

“LIKE is just a SOCIAL Illusion, Stop it, before it makes Delusion of the LIFE!!”

So that’s all for the day. The motto here is to convey that Like is not Always matter. It is Perishable, don’t make it an argue of your downfall.

See you all Next Sunday till then Tataa, Bbyee, Shukran, Rab Rakha, Khuda Hafiz!! Stay Home, Stay Safe. Keep Smiling!!
