Sideways Shift

Had a bit of a sideways shift last night,

something that knocked me slightly off-kilter.

I watched The Social Network.

(for the two of you out there who haven't heard of this movie,

it's about the origins of Facebook.)

I was so upset after watching it, I de-activated my

Facebook account.

Meister Eckhart says "People should not worry as much about what they do but rather about what they are.  If they and their ways are good, then their deeds are radiant.  If you are righteous, then what you do will be righteous.  We should not think that holiness is based on what we do but rather on what we are, for it is not our works which sanctify us but we who sanctify our works."

What disturbed me about the movie was how this medium has grown up out of

mean-spiritedness and people who believe treating others badly is okay (if the movie is to be believed).  
I think to support something 

like this, to support people like this, is bad for our world.

My kids think I am over-reacting, but at the end 

of the day, I only have my one voice and I think it

not only important to talk the talk...I believe you

have to walk the walk.

I really need to think on this for a while.  I'd appreciate your opinion.
