Navigating Truth, Fear, and Healing in the Age of Digital Platforms
In the digital age, platforms like LinkedIn offer incredible opportunities for professional networking and sharing insights. However, the recent experience of having my account restricted due to a report of hate speech sheds light on the complexities and challenges of online communication.
It's a scenario many can relate to: finding oneself at odds with the algorithmic decisions of social media platforms, often due to misinterpretation or manipulation. In this case, the accusation of hate speech feels particularly jarring for someone who prides themselves on embodying the opposite – truth and love.
The truth, as the individual highlights, can indeed be a catalyst for growth and self-awareness, even if it initially stings. It's a higher vibration that elevates us beyond the low frequencies of hate and fear. Yet, in today's digital landscape, where information overload is rampant, discerning truth from falsehood can be a daunting task.
Fear, a natural response to the unknown, can easily grip us when faced with unsettling revelations. It's compounded by the realization that much of what we've been fed may be narcissistic lies designed to manipulate and control. This realization can lead to a cascade of emotions, from fear to disgust and self-doubt.
