THE FIFTH COMMANDMENT

Intro.png

Thou shall
not kill.

Since the beginning of the creation, we have seen killing as a solution to get rid of the people. A murderous act had been the result of anger and kept the face of the doer downcast.

 

Jesus teaches an extended version of the law, “You shall not kill / murder and whoever murders will be liable to judgment. Whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of judgment.”

 

In the Old Testament ‘blood’ is a sacred sign of life. Jesus adds on to this fifth law, the proscription of anger, hatred, and vengeance in the sermon on the mount. Offering himself to the chief priests and soldiers rather than defending, he ordered Peter to put his sword in its sheath.

 

Consequently, the Church teaches, in the light of the Gospel, that “the death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on inviolability and dignity of the person.

 

A scandal is an attitude or behavior that leads another to do evil. He who scandalizes damages virtue and integrity, and deliberately leads into a grave offense. 

Human life is sacred as it involves God’s creative power – who is the source and end of it.

 

No person has the right over another’s life to destroy it.

Do I uphold the sacredness of life?

Commandment.png

Safeguard the welfare of everyone online. Thou shall not use social media to endanger others.”

Here, the social media commandment holds two keywords: ‘welfare’, and ‘endanger’.

​

How to safeguard the welfare and prohibit it from endangering?

Every economic and political agenda hinge on this first word, ‘WELFARE’. One can easily endanger social media users with the nail of safeguarding their welfare or without it. What is the welfare of the social media users? It is the state of doing well, especially concerning good fortune, happiness, and prosperity.

 

The social portal can have a domain of privacy or public. It should be an aid in the form of necessities for those in need. Innovations with the help of AI continue to meet the search and desires of people. 

​

The creation of fake news, misinformation, unwanted advertisements to divert the viewer, unnecessary filthy content, etc., continue to endanger the users.

 

Insufficient knowledge of the innocent social media users in uploading content is misused and abused by efficient technicians of the social media.  

 

To earn publicity inhuman contents are used with the fake identity, pushing the common to an unending peril. Cyberbullying and harassment make victims often experience psychological distress, anxiety, and depression as a result of the abusive behavior.

Limit the visibility of personal information and posts to friends and family or trusted contacts.

 

Do not overshare personal information so as not to invite others to mimic you.

Safeguarding the social media welfare of the users and preventing them from endangers is the responsibility of every user.

 

“Remove the speck from one’s eye and try the same to help others.” For, a blind can’t lead a blind. Both will fall into the pit.
