What the Internet is, and how to use it

To use the internet we need discipline because this is a whole world with its codes and its particularities. When we are on the internet we have to learn all this specific way of using it and communicate with it. This discipline can be conscious or unconscious. Indeed, when we look at a website, we automatically know where are the adverts, and where to find real information. For instance in a website like c dicount really need discipline to use it: not to buy to many things, and to know how to goto what you are
looking for.






The internet can teach us patience since we need time to learn how to use it, to understand how new technologies work. Just like creating a website needs patience!





























The internet is one of the best places where you can share what you like, music, pictures, movies, etc. For instance blogs have become a very important website. That spirit of generosity in the very definition of the widespread idealistic viewpoint on democracy and web. Also, everything website like Youtube, the sharing of music show generosity, and creative commons, is a good example of it.


A very good way of learning perseverance, since exploring different websites through google takes time and we don’t have all what we want to know that we need as fast as we would like.

That new way of communication which is the internet helps us trying to be comprehensive since all the different viewpoints are on the Internet; it makes us open our mind to others. In that respect, the Internet is actually the same as in real life, it does not make differences disappear. Moreover, the internet is also a whole world with ist own codes and one user of the internet could get loste if he doesn't learn these codes. In my personnal experience I can feel lost easily when surfing on the web, but I also learn fast. That is why the internet is also a very good way of self discipline and gives us the will of learning more.





Since the internet is a place where everybody can express himself, when using it we need insight to help us be careful to more or less good information. Insight is the act or result of apprehending the inner nature of things or of seeing intuitively, this is also a power of acute observation and deduction, penetration, discernment, perception and introspection. In Buddhism, the Pali word for "insight" is "vipassana". This buddist point of view on insight is highly interesting. Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation.
This is an art of living and a non-sectarian technique for the total eradication of mental impurities and the resultant highest happiness of full liberation. Healing, not merely the curing of diseases, but the essential healing of human suffering, is its purpose. Vipassana is a way of self-transformation through self-observation. It focuses on the deep interconnection between mind and body, which can be experienced directly by disciplined attention to the physical sensations that form the life of the body, and that continuously interconnect and condition the life of the mind. It is this observation-based, self-exploratory journey to the common root of mind and body that dissolves mental impurity, resulting in a balanced mind full of love and compassion.




Insight, among others, is what we need when we communicate, throughout the internet or in any situation of communication. Insight is also a situation of communication, a communication with ourselves, that is a communion with what we are deeply.
