There is a famous saying in Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities: "This is the best time and this is the worst time." It is appropriate to describe the network information age with this sentence. 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" has provided 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 own spiritual dike today when the fortress of moral civilization is knocked down?
As individuals, in real life and cyberspace, we all strive for truth, goodness and beauty. 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 unfettered virtual space-time of the network, the "devil" in the depths of deep potential people, such as selfishness, narrowness and meanness, quietly stretches out its tentacles and looks for opportunities to show a ferocious smile under the cover of 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 at our backs; Put yourself in the other's shoes, is it the same for others? For example, the "Yanzhaomen" incident, which caused a lot of uproar on the Internet a while ago, involved many artists and caused an uproar in society. In response to this incident, some netizens launched a wanton verbal attack on the artists involved, regardless of the authenticity of the information, and there were 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 suffered personal attacks, suffered great psychological pressure and suffered serious psychological trauma.
Let those hurtful remarks fade away with time. We don't need the internet to help us record the narrowness of our hearts.
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 world, had a debate about "what is real literature" and "what is the meaning of literary world" on their blogs. This is a serious academic discussion in itself, but in the end, it has turned into abuse, intimidation and torrential rain, and it has become a "network war of abuse". Subsequently, many "curse wars" swarmed up, affecting the daily oral communication of many young people, swearing without a dirty word and irritating without a hate word, which caused 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 ourselves, but as Voltaire said, "I disagree with your views, but I firmly defend your right to speak." We should respect others more when refuting others.
Civilized access to the Internet, using this modern tool well, we can find the pure land of "truth, goodness and beauty" in the colorful online world.
