Shall I fast from social media for Lent?
This is a question that would be foreign 15 years ago, but pertinent today.
I notice that Twitter users, by and large, appear to have no knowledge of—or care for—Lent. Nothing has changed for the 1,500 or so accounts that I follow. Many of these are press or politically-related accounts. They seem to be in a constant tit-for-tat war of words with their ideological opponents. Every now and then they strike a blow that stirs me enough to “like” their response. But, generally, it is pablum.
Do I need this?
What would my life be like over the next 40 days or so without Twitter or Facebook?
I’m thinking about this as my belatedly-chosen fast.
