The Facebook dilemma

It is a known fact; people (not all! 🙂 ) boost up their lives on Facebook, pretend it is nicer, funnier, better, more exciting then it really is. Competing with your fellow Facebook friends on who is getting the most Likes and/or Comments, in a way much comparable with the ‘I want to have a bigger car than my neighbour’ rat-race in (Western) society. What a waste of time and energy…

Facebook is currently *the* biggest ‘six degrees of separation‘ network, giving you the ability to (re)connect with friends, real friends, meet new people and connect with them, their lives…ain’t that beautiful? But, is really used to that extend? To really connect and interact?

For a second, wake-up and realize that most of this is entertainment for the masses, one big cover over your eyes to blindsight you from the real world, the truth and what really matters in life…

So, how much time do you spend on Facebook and what does it give you really?
