Dangerous place.

Even though I had previously blogged about the dangers of Facebook, I hadn't actually spent much time there in one sitting. Well, I had that experience during that intense night of GE results, which probably means my verdict in this post isn't very fair now. Anyhow, I concluded that I'm not suited to hang out in Facebook for long periods of time.

I attribute my frustration to the fancy-shmancy look of FB. People's posts appear like well-thought-through entries to me. I assumed those words passed through their brains and were filtered through sensibility before appearing up there. I guess I was wrong. Then again, maybe even passing through their brains, it would still have been the same. Hmm.

In any case, it's a bad place for me. I get annoyed and riled up too easily because of the things people say. Or perhaps, in retrospect, it's a good thing. Because it's so easy for them to say what's first on their minds, there's less hypocrisy? We see people for who they really are?

Aiyah, anyone is just as likely to be real as to be a hypocrite, in both the cyberspace and in real life. Fact.

On a more self-pity note, I should not spend much time in FB because I get depressed. More often than not, I feel like my friends' lives are moving ahead and progressing and exciting and fulfilling, while I'm moving on slow and stagnant and under-achieving and just boring.

That's no way to compare. In fact, throw out the idea of comparison. Remind myself, I can find true satisfaction in Christ.

FB - bad place. Log out.
