I watched a documentary on the pros and cons of facebook –personally apart from the colossal waste of time, though I use it as a tool of disseminating Chassidus/Kabbalah I find it to be a intrusive force – in fact, I see google itself, is highly intrusive, for they remember search words or perhaps have cookies, finding out your clicks on companies and then target advertisements accordingly – and here’s the punch-line, from among the many experts they asked about facebook, one said a poignant point- ultimately facebook belongs to the advertisers, for as facebook seeks revenue, hence they will do what their advertisement revenue requires of them – the same is true of google – so there is a very profound lesson in this- I find it most amazing, that the very first question a person is asked upon arriving in heaven – so one would imagine “how much you prayed etc. is, were you honest in business?” – there is many many amazing Kabbalistic inferences from this, but I think the questions are meant to elicit what a person’s priorities were/are, being honest is business is the best measure – for one can easily say, I was in business because I had to support my family; in other words, they would claim, my motives are pure
