And they live Happily Ever after!! Do they?

"I wish your life be as perfect as you pretend it on facebook", this quote is what makes me write the following.Having read all the fairy tales since childhood, I had developed a set criteria of being "happily ever after", but who knew that it would have a digitalised version with the latest introduction of facebook.

Yes, this is what facebook does for all of us. As the name says it all, its the " FACE BOOK", so better not judge the book by its cover. Being a very active user of the above mentioned social networking site, I can witness the notification sharing as a mere display of how content, happy and out of the ordinary one's life is. Obviously, the website has the options for every moment being shared and theres no harm in that, but is it that necessary of a user to portray what actually doesnt exist at all.

To elaborate, women in particular tend to bring out what so ever good or bad happens in their life through a simple thought box that the profile page offers. This has created such a race amongst users that they  mingle with frends and have sheer pleasure in sharing the photos just when they reach home. Moreover, there are others who may not be lucky enough to hang out that much and think what a big show off my friend is. Eventually it creates a certain envious factor thereby creating a cold grudge amongst acquaintances. Many people just live the way they want to display it on facebook, let say how would it sound!.For instance, the whole process of an event being thought, planned, executed, uploaded till the reception of the comments from majority of the peepers is mostly for facebook.

Not only this, the frequency of changing status, which includes what one ate, drank, liked, disliked, wore, felt and what not , also leaves one privacy to no where, so keeping your photos private, in this case isnt of any use then. I have been doing so much of these as a facebook user but always some where back in my mind I realized that it should be one way or the other, and the other one is ofcourse that we use it as networking site.

The more your publicize the content, more it becomes a hassel. One has a list of liked and disliked people and it becomes difficult to bifurcate. Relatives and closed ones expect you to share what so ever you heve uploaded while you need to have a distance. Ofcourse the idea of the website is sharing of information and moments but its not at all a tool to be an exhibitionist of yourself and somebody who brags what not have they acheived in life.  People who doesnt like every bit of their life being shared are most likely cosiderd as a wet blanket or somebody who just dont let you peep in.

With so many of these, we also get to know the most important news from this source. We meet lost acquaintances and get back in touch. We share happy moments ( preferably not to make a show of how happy we are with our lives) and encouarge some good causes, share videos of humour, social service, techonolgy and it goes on.

Thus in a nutshell, its all how you take it. Using Facebook as a mere show of your blessedness and esctasy isnt that cool, rather what makes you an effective user is the one who contributes some informative stuff along with the bit of all that you feel sharing. Nevertheless its what makes you updated with the latest of the happenings all over the world and the credit goes to the ones who use it productively.
