The Facebook Mania and All of Its Pettiness

The reason why I am writing about the title you read for this post is simple: it's because I've grown to hate reading people of a certain country's status updates on Facebook.

It's been known for long that people of this country is just...gay. Not 'gay' as in homosexual - there is nothing wrong with that, I could care less about one's sexual preference. And not 'gay' as in happiness either.
But 'gay', as in the meaning that is gaudy, garish and intense. Now let me tell you why.

People living in this certain country lives in phases. Once a particular trend enters the market, so the people would adhere to and change in accordance with it. They mold themselves to fit that trend. It's sickening.

I crave, the days when I was only one of so few people in this country who knew about the phenomenon that is Facebook, where I could write on my close friends' wall without worrying that several hundred others will know what I wrote - because it's usually personal. I crave, that quiet tranquility of being a user of a technology that has not been abused.

In those days, one is saved from the misery that comes with reading all of the confusing, stupid, vapid comments and status updates that now seems to contaminate the entirety of Facebook. But I don't want you to get me wrong. It's not all of the ones in my so-called friends list that are putting up silly updates which, I really honestly am not interested to read. Only those who are registered as nationals of this certain country. And I don't mind to read about some national's of this certain country's updates.

But as for the majority rest - I feel like it's such a waste.

A waste of my time, effort, and most importantly, energy.

Do you know that no other country's citizens does that? Maybe you know, but if you don't, now you know.

Another reason that it's such a ludicrous waste, is because the citizens of this particular country, has a habit of adding people that they don't even know! For some bizarre reason, they like to add people whom they've heard of, or has a secondary, tertiary connection to through their first-degree friends. And then once they're added, they don't even say hi. It's like the only reason for requesting those friendship approvals is so that people either know, or can be aware that they are 'friends' with that person, or because they want to see this person's updates or walls, or infos or photos.

OH - and then they comment too on these people's photos that they don't even know of!

I'm like, what - the - fuck?


And that, ladies and gentlemen, is precisely why I try, as much as I can these days, to stay the hell away from Facebook.

Because what they say is true - you are better off not knowing, than knowing.
