Episode 148: The hidden energy of social media - the tragedy of another suicide

from Purple Psychology · host Dr Naoisé O'Reilly

We need to understand that there is a hidden energy need in all successful social media posts - unless you have lost all privacy for other reasons. And that comes with a responsibility too. We all need to look at our part we play - how we need to privately support people. How we need teens to understand this is not a measure of self and validation or how much impact they can make in the world. I use the Alice Walker quote from a Color Purple - “I try to teach my heart not to want nothing it can't have.”From a piece Soul Level, I wrote; So I must apply the wisdom of Alice Walker - I can't crave something that I can't have. I can't judge myself based on a world which doesn't operate at a soul level. Well, at least not publicly. I must hold all those private worlds dear. Know they mean so much more than any meaningless fan base. That the level of public engagement never can tell what they have meant privately to the soul of the reader.
