The Salesmen of Salvation…

I see countless posts on social media irrespective of a religion or a particular cult, of a grand promise of glory , wisdom   death  and even  an afterlife through pictures , captions and videos. They work constantly through these new mediums and literally brainwash anybody . if a person browses about  to ten  times on an average, he is likely to see the same posts that he saw  five minutes before. And assuming he does browse  fifteen  times a day he sees such posts fifteen times and it gets stamped in his central  nervous system. This is true brain washing in all sense. In earlier times kids were asked to repeat multiplication tables once or twice a day and it remains in the kid’s mind till he dies. So just imagine what these proclamations credos do to the minds of any unassuming mind? It is permanently nailed there forever there by transmogrifying the personality completely in a relatively short time.  I don’t really know how such licentious and credulous posts are to be avoided while you are online. There has to be some accountability on the part of social media and their responsibilities to the users. People immolate themselves and some leave their families to desperation for the so called higher purposes. But they hardly realize that they are being duped by the salesmen of salvation.
In the case of television too this is the ongoing agenda. They define the society, set their own terms and conditions  through dramatic serials and mythological stories and very biased and opinionated news broadcast along with added spice. Mostly according to their own political opinions and  party status. Thus the majority of the society which follows such stories are constantly reminded five times a week that this is the way to live and exist.
