It completely annoys me when I see how a platform for expression could be used so shoddily and terribly. Come on.!! Snap out of it people. It’s just a social networking website. Not some place where you could express even the smallest reflex you may have. It’s not your Dear Diary.!
Nobody really cares about anyone here. You get to check out on your friends (most of them on the list are not even ‘friends’), the latest party they’d been to. Whether they’re single or what, who’s looking hot & not. That’s it.! Isn’t there something called as ‘personal space’? - A space where you share certain moments only with yourself and not parade it to the rest of the world. Or is it that people have become so desperate for attention that they would do anything to be in the glare?
Forget the attention. Have people even lost their basic dignity? Is the website so demanding that you could claim your dignity too? Or what is it?
There are people who update each and every moment of their lives. Events that are as insignificant as the millions of people you pass by while cutting through a busy street. Yet the updates are all up there. It’s all so annoying that people you know could be so freaky..!
I too am on Facebook. I have tons of pictures posted on them. Well, they are the best way to make people aware of your life and how happening or not it is. Atleast until now. But I see the definition of expression has changed way too much in the recent times. People are ready to give up on their true beliefs (atleast they claim them to be true) and their sense of basic dignity as well.
I saw a new feed on my FB wall a few minutes ago. A friend (haven’t interacted with her since God knows when) used the check-in option on the site. Any guesses where she checked-in.? Well, at a popular temple in the city… Now this is a classic case of insanity! God certainly didn’t ask for it. So why the grand show? I completely fail to comprehend the rationale behind such airheaded moves. The entire act is so phony. It’s screaming- phony!
Why would she do this? Does she want to reinstate her belief in God by doing such? Or is it an ‘I am a nice girl, I go to the temple’ ploy? Or does she really have such a huge appetite for attention that she wouldn’t even spare God? Or what? I am so unable to hit upon even the remotest excuse she could have for posting such a feed.
Aw come on.. Give the good Lord a break.! I’m sure he’s laughing his heart out at the way people are going these days. And to begin with, are we really going anywhere anyway?
