Sometimes I hate Facebook!

Facebook is where I communicate with some of my friends. Or I see what they are up to and they keep track of what I'm doing.

BUT...

You have to be mature enough to never be jealous. Never! If you have some experience of life you know that being in a place that looks like paradise can be terrible and luxuries can be boring with the wrong company. What I'm saying is that if you don't know the full story, there is no need to be jealous. But isn't there always something that you're missing or dream about. Something you would like to do. Places you would like to see. People you would like to meet. Can you face that your friends or acquaintances have that opportunity and you don't? If you believe that you will get that opportunity some other time, or if you are happy with whatever you have, or if you're simply happy for your friends, then it's perfectly OK. If you're not, then you're in trouble.

Some people just poke around, watch and read, but never share anything themselves. How are they thinking? "I'm not into sharing, but of course I'd like to keep myself updated on what other's do". Some people share pictures of their uninteresting private stuff all the time. "I'm walking the dog" and a picture of the dog is an example of something I find uninteresting. But I must admit that I sometimes share totally uninteresting things too. If many people are watching, maybe there is at least one person who finds it interesting...besides nothing interesting happens to me for the moment, so the alternative is to be quite.

I could write an essay about people's comments. If you get a comment from someone who normally don't comment on your stuff, then you know that you have found some common interest. That's pretty cool. But some people have the habit of commenting on everything everywhere all the time. If the comment adds value or is funny then it's normally appreciated, but if it doesn't.... Especially not if other peoples comments are drowning in them!! Why have a discussion in public maybe in front of hundreds of people, instead of having a privately conversation via mail? To misunderstand each other is easily done. Or to insult someone by mistake. With all those people watching..

Well, today I've had too few contacts with other people. Maybe I should check what people on Facebook are up to?
