wake up, facebook users!

""  she said, "" our life in this realistic is tough & terrible enough,
why should we bring the toughness & terribleness to the imaginary world which suppose to relax your mind? ""  ""



i've been wondering for quite a long time.
what is the purpose of using facebook?
or more specifically,
what is the thing that go through your mind when you post a status?
scrolling down the home page,
what i noticed is how negative the facebook world is.
be it grumbling about homework, complaining of bad days, criticizing XXX artists, cursing your 'not so good friend', scolding the promoter in XX fashion shop or even threatening to commit suicide.
the worst thing happened when the other facebookers
rather than advicing them, they still support them or press the 'like' button.
these people don't know how fast the bad influences thrives.
It's just like the virus spread among the people.
some people having selfpity,
exaggerate about the thing which has not gone smoothly in their life,
hoping the sympathy or a 'like' from the facebookers.

 but this is not the way!

from the Bible teaching, it says " Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. " ( Ephesians 4:29 )
even God has taught us to say good words all the time,
over venting emotion on Facebook didn't bring us benefits
and we know how destructive the tongue is to bring ruin to our life.
so why can't we just stop all the grumbles & start our facebook life with a good quotes?
i used to be the one who can't stop thinking how bad the life is
but now other than sharing some good quotes and videos
i try not to share too much of my emotion

we'd discussed the same topic during the church teens fellowship, 
i found the statement from my leader quite meaningful.
she said, "" our life in this realistic is tough & terrible enough,
why should we bring the toughness & terribleness to the imaginary world which suppose to relax your mind? ""
u would say venting emotion is a way to release tension.
but mind to say reading all the scolding words or vulgarities only disconcerted us.
so, why don't we just try to make the facebook world a better world.
it's not a bad thing using facebook,
but maybe it's the time to change the way using facebook.
let's strive for it!

  1. We just have to accept that ppl nowadays never really care about being nice. They only wrote what they think the 1st thing that strikes their mind. If later others commented something bad about their status,they'll just delete the post.haha
