It's not fair to judge something like Facebook solely on the bad posts you see on there, as Facebook is also used for good things like keeping in touch with family and friends and also sharing the gospel. To judge something or someone based solely on one imperfection is not what the Lord wants us to do, as we are all imperfect and if we are to judge others, we should first look at ourselves. While I agree that it is better to avoid the toxic people and posts on Facebook, I also believe that there is good to be found in Facebook and that we can use it in the way that it was meant to be used; to connect with each other. We do, however, need to be cautious about who we choose to connect with, as it is so easy for people to endanger themselves or others close to them because they choose to connect with the wrong person and be too open with them. It is okay to enjoy Facebook, but at the same time, be careful about who you share private information with because it could come back to haunt and harm you.

We are exposed to knowledge from different sources every day of our lives and that is how we come to broaden the intelligence God gives us. However, not all sources or credible or safe for us to glean knowledge from simply because they provide limited knowledge that could possibly cause us to make bad decisions. We certainly should not be afraid to express our opinion or share our perspective on things that interest us, but we need to make sure that our knowledge is accurate enough that we don't end up making ourselves look foolish and/or uninformed. When expressing thoughts on the knowledge we have, we also need to make sure that we respect the viewpoints of others and not treat them badly over their opinion. Although we have the right to choose what we say and do, we don't have the right to make others feel inferior simply because their opinions may differ from ours.
