Hi Pals, I often have a doubt that people who use online resources spend less time for their other activities,especially their spirituality is affected to a greater extent.. What do you think about this discussion and keep posting your replies ......... Thanks Meher

I often spend about 4 hours for internet and computer. I am an offical. I think it is good to use internet to update your news and knowledg, sometimes I can make money. But It is very bad if you spend more time for computer instead the other activities, example, entertaiment, excercise,meet your friends offline... unless you are a IT worker.

So true. I think everyone must be their own judge of how much time is appropriate. Sometimes I find ten minutes is all I can spare and other times when I have free time or because I am finding some value online I can spend lots of time. I think this applies equally to other activities as well.

The internet is a versatile tool. I have used this tool for many things, including expanding my spirituality. The internet has made it so much quicker, easier, and effective for me to research various spiritual paths. Gave me access to art, to articles, to finding local spiritual meetup groups. Maybe you are misusing this tool.

Internet doesn't take away from a person's spirituality and actually it is a great resource for information and art, which is a great tool for our spiritual journey. It is up to the individual how they want to use it. And it's not as if people who surf the internet do nothing else.

It is depend on the person doing such things, friend. Being work online will be a privilege because we have all the option to manage our time... If you did not mind about the spiritual values of your life. That maybe the reason affecting your spiritual needs...

Seriously, do you really think that we are all here just surfing the internet for the rest of the day? :P And do you really think it is impossible to improve our spirituality while surfing the internet? Well, internet is not only about games, fun thing, and earning money, though..

I think we must remember what the internet is and not over extend our time for it. This is our own personal responsibility and involves time management. There is a wealth of information on the internet as well as poor information and we must be able to separate the two. Our spirituality can always be affected anywhere by how we behave, associate with and to some extent by what we are attracted to. There are many internet surfers who let go of their responsibility as seen by their actions but in the midst of unsound judgement there will always be good people that will shine a light for others to see.

Hello, nishaluvs. May you stay in Mylot for good. Welcome to mylot my newfound friend. I have been around here for years but, i keep on dropping out and coming back. Mylot is one site that I will keep on paying visits for as long as I have the time to spend doing the internet. There is a big possibility that what you maybe thinking now is true for quite a plentiful number of internet surfers. However, for the members of my family, I am pretty sure that everyone is not going away from our spiritual life. Our morals are still of high value, too. We uphold our moral standards in everything that we do to the best of our ability. This is something that I am making my children understand to observe and keep on observing for as long as we live. WE must never compromise our spiritual life at all at anytime. This is the essence of life for every man.

Hi, welcome to mylot! I seem to be having a bad day understanding some discussions. Yours is in very good English and I STILL don't understand quite what you are asking. It's all my fault, no doubt! Not to worry. I hope to see more from you when my brain is functioning better. Enjoy your time on mylot!
