About texting and the abuse and misuse of gifts

The greater the gift, the greater the capacity 
for the abuse or the misuse of the gift.

For example, what a wondrous miracle is texting. I heard not long after the appearance of mobile phones that it was a chance development which came from the engineers wanting to communicate with each other.

It is so useful in sending brief (or, sometimes, even long) messages where a conversation is not an option or would take much longer Like countless groups of families and friends, we have great pleasure with our family WhatsApp groups, sharing photos, jokes and the like.

But oh, we hear of so many terrible consequences of its misuse and abuse.

Let us all take responsibility for our own use of life's gifts and do all we can to educate and guide the young and vulnerable with whom we have contact in how to do the same.
