Why am I doing this? Well, really why am I doing
this? Why do my fingers itch and I cannot lessen my urge to update my status.
What shit does anyone give to what I have been doing my entire day. It turns
out people are very concerned. They do ‘like’ my activities. ‘Just back from the
shed- cleaning pig shit was never more fun’ – Yes, this is my status and just
after a few seconds when I am finally about to log out after all the surfing
hard work, I see those red bulbs flashing against the blue backdrop. My ‘pig
shit’ status has received more than ten ‘likes’ within a few seconds. My heart
felt like it was about to burst out of happiness. Suddenly beating faster, I
quit my attempt to come out of the world. As an action-reaction gesture, I start
appreciating the pictures or wordings of my wise friends. I also wonder if
appreciating something can be much easier than this. Seriously, just by click
of a button can anything be appreciated? Is it not sad that the beautiful
summer bees and flowers and butterflies don’t have a button attached to their
wings? I would really want to appreciate them, time and over again. Damn, how
can I forget that they live in the actual world?
Pushed this funny thought out of my rotting brain
and moved towards enjoying some narcissistic pleasure. Does it improve our self
confidence? Does this virtual oneness not pressurize us for the perfect profile
picture, for being the wisdom giver? It is again here that I ask – Why am I doing this? The only answer
that comes to me is this- I, as a human being need constant attention and
appreciation. I am a full grown child. Praise me, like me, talk to me. Do
whatever but please react, for I am living on solid ground where the concept of
exchange of positive words of appreciation in the real world seems to be
extinct. I would rather not loose myself in the familiarity of my friends or
relatives voice over the telephone. I would rather wish them a very happy
birthday here, in this very oneness platform. I would rather not meet people
over tea and coffee for eye to eye discussions. I would argue and try and prove
to my point, then again argue, in this very oneness fortress.
I will share this article. It is once again here
that I ask – Did you LIKE my latest update ;)?
