One of the blessings of social media is the ability to spread information instantly. One of the curses of social media is the ability to spread wrong information instantly. Yet, technology doesn’t produce this information. It only reveals what an individual types in. This past week, we have witnessed yet another riot that is based at least in part, on unconfirmed information. It appears that a horrific injustice occurred. But we really don’ t know yet. As I have watched footage of these riots, I have reflected on my own penchant for rash judgments. Rashness leads to foolishness which ends in embarrassment and often great damage. I am often reminded of the wisdom my father often dispensed: “Satan drives, but God leads.” In other words, foolishness follows the pressure to act or speak immediately. Wisdom is at the end of a measured response, a response that never occurs until the whole situation is fully understood.
