Social Media and morals just aren't flowing together anymore. Especially when you combine that with nosy news reporters and journalists. I found an article posted by my university's newspaper CMlife that broke my heart. Not because it's such a touching story, but because it is so heartless and unimportant to the general population.
Kelly Markatos was a CMU student who died a sudden death at the young age of 22. The tragedy hit the university hard, and many of my friends as well. How is it that the world mixed with technology can be so cruel that they feel the need to exploit her disease to the world? Personal satisfaction. Nosy people. That's why. People today are information hungry and it makes them act like animals.
This reminds me of all of the massacre stories, like Sandy Hook Elementary. Kelly's family, and all victims families have to live through their loss every day. Opening the wounds months later to satisfy the interest of uninvolved parties is beyond sickening! Let families heal! Without technology, people wouldn't have this desire to be informed on such horrible events and thrive off knowing details that do not effect their life whatsoever.
Sometimes I think technology is a horrible thing. Especially in situations like this. My prayers go out to the family and friends of young Kelly. What a horrible addition to their already difficult holiday season.
Fire Up and keep your nose in your own business!
