It's High Time to Think !

Remember last time you checked your facebook news feed? What did you see? Charity? Heartbreaks? Mundane Selfies? Most of the time ‘yes!’. Forget about celebrities. We all are curious to find out what our favourite celebrity does. That’s gossip. But this, to see posts on your wall about others’ private life? Some you know personally. Some you know as ‘chat-friends’. And some you don’t even know. Are you really interested in their private lives? May be ‘yes’ if you are a gossip lover. But me, I am not. 

To be honest, for me, it is so annoying when somebody posts on heartbreaks; long stretched lines running into lengthy passages. Who’s interested in reading those? Who has time? And what would one expect by posting about heartbreaks? Perhaps, Pity –Sympathy -Consolation and what not. But the problem is, “who’s going to do that?” Sometimes, people will comfort you saying many a things. Thousands of consolations and condolences will arrive in your inbox and post comments. But, how many of them are genuine? You ask it from yourself. So, all those will be momentary comforts. Nobody in social media will stay with you forever listening to your grievances. That’s how it goes. If so, why would you let others enjoy or make fun of your extremely private matters like heartbreaks? The world around would be laughing at you for humiliating your privacy in front of the whole world. 

The other popular trend in any social media (especially FB) is charity. Some are exaggerating the act of helping the helpless by posting photos with a caption. But, why! It’s an ordinary humane quality or a good moral that the able are assisting the disabled. The rich are helping the poor. For example, one could provide lunch packets for the beggars on his/her birthday. So what’s the point in posting it on FB and telling the others that you gave lunch for beggars? Isn’t that showing off? Yes, people will react with hearts and likes to your posts with many comments of appreciation. But, I’ll tell you one thing. Nobody is really interested in seeing charity done by you. It is your personal life. That only matters to you and perhaps, to your family. But, not for the others. 

I’ll give you another example. Isn’t it hilarious when people keep on posting every mundane selfie they take, in social media? I know it’s okay to post something you like/ a special event in your life but, when you keep repeating it every single day, you are actually annoying your friends or followers. May be I’m being too personal here for I don’t use social media much. However, unless you are a celebrity, basically nobody is really interested in wasting their internet data to see your privacy. So, think twice before exposing your private life to social media. Don’t humiliate yourself before the whole world.It's time to think!
