We live in this small world. Social media has taken big portion of our lives. Social media or should I say anti-social media. I probably one of the those people who take advantage of this platform for the fact I live somewhere around the globe and have friends scatter all over the place, but yet there is a say "social media makes the far one close and the close one far."
It's sad, isn't it? When we constantly have to prove or show people we're happy. Who does ask us to do so? Who does want to know what we eat, what we wear, what our mood and where we go for holiday? It looks depressing, trying so hard to show people who we are, what we like and what we feel. Do those people even care? Some probably do or else why do we even do that, right? Or the more depressing thing is stalking other people's activities and then what happen? Pity ourselves for not having what other people have, for not eating what other people eat, for not wearing what other people wear. What does this lead to? It's either showing off or be jealous. Which side are you on?
Not to mention narcissism. Being grateful for our flawless face, sure we are. But showing it to the whole world to know every second and every angle, is it necessary? Probably is or else again why would we do that in the first place?
Somehow, this is the life we are creating. Excellent isn't it? How tiring it is to keep up. Circle of life in the touch of our finger tip. We can watch and see anything we want, yet in the end wonder what does that make us feel? It feels like competition, everyday life battle.
When was the last time we sit down with our friends? How long did we see our friends for? And how long was our hands away from our phone for the entire time? Be honest. And this simple question says it all "can we live without our phone?" For a day probably, most people will find that challenging.
Anyway, this phenomena is happening. We experience this because of the big exposure to what-so-called social media. Just thought I can give a thought about this interesting life. There will be interesting outcome from this interesting life, for sure.
