My eyes are in pain from staring at that bottom right side of my screen. “3:28 PM” is the exact time which did not change after checking it for the nth time. Why is time going by so slow? I checked my phone and felt green with envy after reading a couple of status posts in facebook about food. Facebook and food seems to be the trend of the posts. What is so fascinating about the food you are going to devour to have to take an instagram picture of it and post it in facebook? None the less, it did make me salivate. Being diabetic sucks! It surely takes out the joy of living your life to the fullest.
Do you think that facebook has definitely taken away the concept of “Bragging Rights”? If you look through the posts besides the one about food, you will see people who brag. But there are untold rules about bragging. Even I know of this and they seem to be violated all over facebook. Per the Urban Dictionary.com;
“Bragging rights – They are the granted rights to a person that allow said person to boast on themselves to a certain extent without being looked down on for it. Bragging rights may be granted to a person for the following reasons:
- An Amazing Achievement
- Attaining something greatly desired by many people
- An unfortunate even that can be viewed as positive for different reasons.
However, using bragging rights after their expiration date may lead to extreme dislike of said person.”
There are times when we are so proud of our kids that we post their achievements. Those posts are so heart warming to read but only to an extent. I believe that 10 posts of the same achievement is overkill!! We all know how it feels like to have a big number of likes for our posts but what if you really hated what they are wearing or don’t give a crap what they do every single minute of the day. If we have the ability to like a post we should have the same ability to dislike them. It is not cowardly to not leave a comment or two of how I really feel about a post, but let us just say, putting a dislike button will be a nicer way for me to express my feelings. Less harsh words more peace in facebook and less game requests!
Food is my Morphine...
