There is a famous saying in Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities: "This is the best time and this is the worst time." This sentence is more appropriate to describe the network information age. Nowadays, the network technology is changing with each passing day, which brings incredible surprises to people's lives, but also tests people's moral bottom line from another aspect, which can be seen from online speech.
Undoubtedly, this is the best time: Internet communication has broken through the traditional closed form of news and speech, and "blog" provides a platform for netizens to communicate and learn from each other ... But, friends, we should understand that there are traps and sharp edges hidden under this beautiful appearance. Virtual time and space, like the real society, is a world where light and darkness coexist: embracing light means embracing a bright future; Embrace the darkness, like walking into the abyss, is hard to be reborn. This is the most beautiful and cruel world. As a younger generation, how should we rebuild our spiritual dike today when the fortress of moral civilization has been torn down?
As individuals, we are all striving for truth, goodness and beauty in real life and cyberspace. No one wants to show his evil side in reality, because "civilization" makes the ugliest soul deeply understand what should be spurned or pursued. However, in the unrestrained network virtual space-time, selfish, narrow-minded, despicable and other "demons" deep in people's hearts quietly stretch out their tentacles and look for opportunities to show ferocious smiles under the cover of the night.
We don't want to hear unnecessary foul language that we don't want to believe after dawn, and we don't want to see others poking us in the back; Put yourself in others' shoes, is it the same for others? For example, the "Yanzhaomen" incident, which caused an uproar on the Internet a while ago, involved many artists and caused an uproar in society. In response to this incident, some netizens ignored the authenticity of the information and launched wanton verbal attacks on the artists involved, including many obscene words. If this is true, we should not abuse it so wantonly; What's more, some artists who were not involved in the case were personally attacked, suffered great psychological pressure and suffered serious psychological trauma.
Let those hurtful words fade away with time. We don't need the internet to help us record our inner narrowness.
The network gives us the space to vent and doodle at will in helplessness, and gives us the right to pour out our hearts. However, we should not slander or falsely accuse others without intention.
A few years ago, Bai Ye and Han Han, two generations of literary circles, had an argument on their blogs about "what is real literature" and "what is the meaning of literary circles". This is a serious academic discussion in itself, but in the end it turned into abuse, intimidation and rainstorm, and became a "cyber war of abuse". Subsequently, many "curse wars" swarmed, which affected many young people's daily oral communication, swearing without a dirty word and irritating without a hate word, resulting in a very bad social impact.
In fact, the network is innocent. Whether we can make good use of the "double-edged sword" of the network depends entirely on ourselves. There is nothing wrong with refuting views that are contrary to yourself, but as Voltaire said, "I don't agree with your views, but I firmly defend your right to speak." Respect others more when you refute them.
Civilized surfing the Internet, using this modern tool well, can find the pure land of "truth, goodness and beauty" in the colorful network world.
