Old fashion common sense consideration

In the year 2011, you would hope that we would all realize how important it is to be considerate.  However, I think some people missed the moral train to society. Donald Trump for instance, is famous for being highly successful at finances and building billion dollar empire; do you think a man with such financial prestige would be tactful enough to lower his voice while publicly doubting the President of the United States?

Facebook was created on the basis of Social and Intellectual comparison; a  network to link prestigious college students to one another for options of meeting and/or dating. However, the origin of the idea came from the anger of the inventor at his X girlfriend and intentions of humiliating her, along with thousands of other female college students for revenge.

Being able to communicate with our family and friends on a long distance basis has been the magnificent outcome of this both fortunate and unfortunate event. Yet,do we remember the importance of being careful and polite with our posting and comments? It seems as though in order to learn lessons and set boundaries, it is crucial to be at our strongest emotionally, while setting tactful boundaries; hence,"common sense consideration."

Honesty is always the best policy, but when hundreds or thousand of people can view your thoughts, what are the rules of posting? I am sure we have much to learn about ourselves and each other, and cannot help to wonder what the true intentional comments are about, if not positive/considerate?

I have on occasion disabled my Facebook account and taken a break, after learning of several hurtful comments or possible unintentional inappropriate remarks, and so I am on the defense about who I allow into my life or most intimate, personal thoughts with.

Some people find themselves overwhelmed and scared, some are more open, and  some great relationships are found again: ; made from scratch.

It is most positive that we are priveleged to have all of the options to choose what we desire; freedom of speech, and freedom of choosing who we allow in our lives.

Keeping in mind the Karma of Common Sense Consideration.

We are very lucky.
