Ridiculousness...

I really had to contemplate which direction to take on this subject. However, after witnessing pure ridiculousness on FB (yet again), I’ve decided to take the following route…

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.  ;)
