Face Book Life

Life is getting hard in the social networks. Face book has become an arena where people solve their problems. They type whatever they want. They fearlessly offend the other party, threatening the “adversary” protected by the screen shield. The old fashioned way to go the opponent’s house, talk face to face or at least call his phone number on trying to solve the issue does not exist anymore. It is disused to get in touch, on trying to listen to his version of the facts or maybe some other witnesses.  Going to your own page in facebook to pour hate, vent disagreements, and say whatever you want is now the vogue.

Face book turned into a stage for cowards. Sometimes an opinion leader criticizes your name, your company and you only learn of it when attentive friends, worried about your reputation, paste their post for you so that you are able to read it. They lack the courage to put an @ in front of your name, so that the post can go to your page  and you can see it, then defend yourself, give your own version about the facts.                                                         

Another point is that currently we must be afraid to communicate on face book.  Particularly I do not write a word there anymore. At times I feel like writing about what is on my mind, I give up though.  I do not want to write an insult, or clear allusions ( like many  people do)  I just  want to say something.  But I must be aware, that everything I say, everything I write will be used against me. And, YES, it can cause conflict.

As a stage of envy, your pictures posted can fan the flames rage of the one who looks them  in their computer. Fancy trips they have never made, places they will never visit, a sculptural body in a bikini, a special food you have never eaten, restaurants you only dream of going. All this stirs certain envy, fans flames inside of those who see that image which nothing else can hold. There they go then, typing, writing whatever they want. If they regret it later, if what they wrote generates polemics, they just delete  the post. To delete is easy.  It is all right. Is it all right? What if anyone made a print?  What if anyone pasted and saved the image, I mean…

In relation to political parties we are not allowed to say a Word.  People put you out, they simply do not want to know about your existence anymore just due to the fact that you have a different   political view.  I consider these face book “writers”, these opinion makers are being tough. If they do not sympathize  with a certain statesman, for  instance, they wish to see this political figure dead , taut in a coffin as if this would solve all their financial problems, as if it could take them to that fancy hotel they had just  seen in another person’s page; or as if they could be attractive  and athletic  like that one who has time and money  to spend hours  at the gym or for  plastic surgery procedures and  hyaluronic acids.

It is getting hard, folks.
