I’ve come to the conclusion that Facebook must have somehow
been derived from the Latin words for hypocrisy and contradiction. For some
reason, people have deemed it necessary to air all of their dirty laundry and woes
on FB. If you’re going to complain about the behavior of others in such a
public forum, please be prepared for people to be “in your business” and to
behave in ways that they wouldn’t have the nerve to face to face. Geez, there are so many issues regarding
this topic. I’ll do my best to stick to one or two.
Let me start off by saying that if you’re going to complain
about a particular individual, one that will no doubt know that you are
speaking of them, don’t try to cover it up and say you’re referring to a group
of people and not just the individual. If you can be big enough to put it out there,
be big enough to deal with the consequences. Second, if you’re complaining that
your partner is behaving in a way that is not acceptable to you, please remember
to check out your reflection before you post your feelings. I find it
hilariously entertaining to read through posts on FB where one is complaining
about the other, the other comments, then the one is saying “no, it’s not you,
it’s everyone.” Then the other questions how many others there are, the one
says I can only manage you, yet, there is evidence to the contrary…
How can anyone complain that the partner they have chosen
isn’t perfect or ideal anymore when YOU are consistently trying to hook up with
others… Hmm, pure ridiculousness.
Now, on to the other issue here – STOP, FOR THE LOVE OF
HUMANITY, posting all your dang business on FB. I get it, FB allows you the
freedom to express yourself. Guess what, so does your dang mouth. If you can’t
communicate your feelings verbally, don’t pretend that you’re all brave by
hiding behind FB. When will we as a society learn that social media works best
when used to promote positive things? I mean, can YOU really be mad that someone
comments on your very nasty (and in my opinion, trashy) post and calls you
trash? I mean, you were just calling the individual trash in your post… Come on
folks. Stop the madness. Get it together, quit being so self-absorbed and learn
that you’re only going to get out of life what you put into it.
That’s all for now. I just couldn’t help myself.
Ridiculousness on social media is at an all-time high this week, and here it is
only MONDAY!
Let’s all go back to when we were 3 and the only problems in
life were whether or not Bananas in Pajamas was coming on. ;)
