STATUS UPDATE : CATHARSIS !

I'm guilty of following my friends' lives via Facebook.
Been checking up on how they're doing, what's going on in their lives.


Facebook can never substitute real-life interaction.
I still prefer to see you than to write on your wall.


But there's no denying that it's useful.
There's so much you can find out in a span of minutes.


I'm also guilty of indulging my emotions online.
People (including me) vent, complain and bitch on FB. All the time.
Yet it doesn't really matter what other people write on a SOCIAL-NETWORKING SITE as long as you don't actually take it to heart.


I have friends who, in my opinion, take these things way too seriously.
When you really think about it, it's kind of silly to get all riled up over some cryptic, shadowy, one-sided status update / comment / whatever form of BS it takes.


Writers of supposedly ambiguous, finger-pointing sentences are just cowards.


If we can't face up to the perpetrators that are the cause of such angry online outbursts in real life, and instead choose to console ourselves by telling a bunch of virtual friends that 'YOU' are so-and-so, then we seriously have a problem.


Lets ask ourselves these: 
What do we gain by it? 
Does it help you (and everyone else subjugated to reading it) in any way?
Do these people of whom we write about 'get it'?


The Internet is a powerful tool that is at our disposal to disseminate what information we deem suitable.
Shouldn't every sentence that we write on this powerful tool result in a positive, an possibly enhancing, outcome?
Honestly, I'd rather read status updates that are peppered with inspirational quotes than read about how you're annoyed at this person and what a bully he/she is and how you JUST CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE.
Do something about it, dude.


Let's take our lives out of the virtual cocoon it seems to be stuck in.
Face our demons head-on, in real-life, face to face.
We'll be way happier and satisfied. I guarantee.
