There’s an old story about a village divided by a river. For years, the people on both sides lived separately, believing their neighbors were different from them—less kind, less intelligent, less worthy. One day, a bridge was built, and suddenly, they could visit each other. At first, they were hesitant, clinging to their old beliefs. But over time, they realized they were more alike than they ever imagined.

But here’s the twist: some people used the bridge to connect, while others used it to throw stones.

Social media is that bridge. It has the power to unite us, but it also has the power to divide us. The question is: Are we using it to reach out—or to tear down?

Hmmmm think about it

Social media has transformed how we communicate, bringing people together in ways that were once impossible.

Distance is no longer a barrier – We can stay connected with loved ones across the world.

Voices that were once ignored are now heard – Movements for justice, awareness, and change have gained momentum.

Opportunities are limitless – Businesses, relationships, and ideas thrive online.

Knowledge is more accessible than ever – A single post can change someone’s perspective, teach a new skill, or inspire action.

In many ways, social media has made the world feel smaller, more connected, and full of possibilities.

hmmmmm and on the other way round

just like that village bridge, not everyone is using social media to connect. Some are using it to create division.

Algorithms show us what we already agree with, making opposing viewpoints seem foreign or even threatening.

Misinformation spreads like wildfire – Lies travel faster than truth, shaping public opinion with half-truths and fear.

– People showcase their highlights, making others feel like they’re falling behind in life.

Quick reactions replace deep conversations – Instead of listening and understanding, we react emotionally, often fueling division instead of dialogue.

Instead of breaking down barriers, social media often builds new ones—ones that are invisible but just as powerful.

So if you would ask me How Do We Use the Bridge?

Let’s go back to that village. The bridge wasn’t the problem; it was the way people used it. Some used it to build relationships, while others used it to attack.

The same is true for us. Social media isn’t good or bad—it’s a tool. And how we use it determines whether it brings us together or tears us apart.

Do we use it to understand, or just to argue?

Do we use it to spread truth, or just what fits our narrative?

Do we use it to uplift, or just to seek validation? Hmmmm come on think about that for a minute

At the end of the days The Choice Is Ours

Social media has the power to be the greatest connector in human history—or the greatest divider. The difference comes down to how we, as individuals, choose to engage with it.

So, I’ll leave you with this: Are you using social media to build bridges or to throw stones? And what would happen if we all made the conscious

choice to use it for connection instead of division?
