Have you ever noticed that some people who are normally meek and mild-mannered become pushy and belligerent on Facebook? For instance, they will post something that they find especially profound, and then suggest that you if you don’t pass it along to others, then you must be a bad person.

I really don’t think that the true test of my character is whether or not I “like” or “share” something on Facebook. If I fail to pass along your post, it doesn’t mean that I don’t love my country, my fellowman or my Lord.

You might think that I’m making this up, but someone once posted a quote about the problem of bullying, and then threatened that I had better pass it on! The irony, undetected by the Facebook bully, was quite amusing!

We should all try to refrain from saying anything on Facebook that we wouldn’t say to people in person.

“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.”—Matthew 5:5.
