FACEBOOK: Wasting People's Lives since 2004

in #new7 years ago

I know the title sounds so harsh. "Savage" in today's term. Facebook might have it's advantages but let us look into it's disadvantages. It's negativity. It's bad side.

So let me start with this. Have you remembered that particular day or month or year when you started to join Facebook? Nope? Me neither. But I just got a reminder from their team about a day ago that I have been on Facebook for seven years. Imagine that? Kind of a relationship goal that I want to end up with. Lol. You don't remember how long you've been fooled with internet and social media lies. The outrageous behavior of every single person using it. That includes me. What started out with just curiosity about what it was now ended up being jailed in a surrounding full of fake, judgeful, hateful people. Add to it the fact that Facebook is really a weird site.

Imagine being friends with over hundreds or thousands of people from all over the world to whom you did not know personally. Just about 20% of your Facebook friends are your actual friends. 5% of the are from family and relatives. 10% are your friends from Kindergarten to College. And 5% are your friends you have contact in person. But only about 2% are the real friends you can trust your life with (except your family, of course).

Everyday you see posts from different persons around the country or around the world sharing what they feel, what they're doing, where they've been, what they feel. Photos and videos of self-loving individuals you just tend to "like" just for them to know that you're online and you're up to date. But how many of that posts really matters to you? Do you even care about what's happening to them. Do you sometimes envy them for what they have, what they do or where they are? Because of that you start judging them just by what you see because that's what you think reflects on their lives. Hours of sitting while scrolling through your gadgets looking at Facebook stuffs wasted. Instead of just actually talking to people around you. Facebook was not meant to be this cruel. People made it like it.

Time is gold goes the saying. We should think where to use it. Hope your two minutes was not wasted. See you tomorrow!images.jpg
