This week I chased off a man who was trying to break into my neighbor's house. My wife and I spent a good while after that discussing our neighborhood. We don't want contact with people like that, but living in low-cost housing as we currently do, we sometimes don't have a choice. The internet is very similar, actually. For all the bad and inappropriate things that we know exist online, good really does exist there, too. It's a matter of perspective, and of where you live (figuratively speaking). If you encounter too much negative or vile on the internet, try moving. You're in a bad neighborhood, and you need a change of pace. Change up your regular sites, and avoid the bad parts of town. You'll be surprised to find that the internet can be a bright and wonderful place, if you've got a good map. Hint: it's the gospel.
