Note: I initially wrote this as a status but was too long to be published. So I decided to edit and post it as a Note instead.
Bato bato sa langit, tamaan sana ang dapat tamaan.
I don't know how I should feel about people who constantly update their Facebook status as if their lives depended on it. I especially have mixed emotions about status updates that are, IMO, unnecessary (e.g., I'm eating *insert name of food here*, going to the mall, watching TV, etc.). I am also constantly taken aback by status messages that include every single detail about that person's life.
Clearly, I don't want to know that you've just gotten out of the toilet and that you are now headed to your room to watch TV when you just saw your favorite artist/band/personality on the news and that he/she looks hot. Or that you are getting ready for a date and are wondering what color of clothes better suits you and what accessories look good with it.
Please spare me and the rest of the world!
I know that this is a free social media, and everyone is given the freedom to do just about everything he/she wants. But I also believe that freedom entails a great deal of responsibility. Doing something just because you want to is very selfish.
Even though we are all free to do whatever we like, as human beings it is common courtesy that we look at ourselves as being part of a unit. We are all members of the society. We simply cannot do or say things without thinking if there would be others who might get affected.
So it may possibly be far better if we leave the "unnecessary facts" all to ourselves. There are simply things that are better confined inside the comforts of, say, a comfort room or bedroom. Most specially, there are definitely things that are better suited for the imagination.
