FaceBook

Man is a make-believe animal: he is never so truly himself as when he is acting a part..man has always sacrificed truth to his vanity, comfort and advantage. He lives by make-believe....

Seriously, who will disagree if I say that FaceBook is a great outlet for many things.  Not necessarily all good, but still a place where one can make "friends" with someone in a different part of the world with just a tiny little click.  Where you can share thoughts and daily nonsense with just about hundreds of people you don't really know and who don't really know you or even care about what the heck you are doing, but that is the appeal for many of this Social Network known as FaceBook.  We can all express our thoughts, likes, dislikes, hopes, dreams, etc.  Sometimes it is just an outlet that makes one feel better.  It is a way of reaching out to that person you care about or miss when at other times many don't know how else to do it.  It has helped so many around the world reunite with loved ones and honestly, it has also contributed to many not so good things...guess you can say you have to take the good with the bad.   Many a times people lie just to pretend that all is good with them, but just remember a lie may take care of the present, but it has no future....

As someone said "I like to pretend that every things alright because when everybody else thinks you're fine, sometimes you forget for awhile that you're not"  Facebook is a way I have seen many do this.  I don't claim to be the exception either

We play make believe, pretend to take ourselves and each other seriously - to love each other, hate each other - but then - it isn't true...

until next time...
