Happiness is clearly misunderstood in today's social media planet. People presume with all surety that a person has a "happening" life when the LIKES they receive is at a minimum 100+ and if their profile pics look like duck faced reptiles in lordly BGs. Happiness to me is when my heart is light, void of confusion, stress and pain. It might seem simple but the path to it is not. From the little understanding I have of life, (I believe one can never get to understand life holistically) the things that matter will be people in our real lives and only the real people matter.
There is enough ado about being the social media king and queen but who really gives? I mean seriously, your remembrance of them in their entire lives will not equal the time you spend drinking up a not-so-tasty cup of coffee. You're that irrelevant. Every person needs to identify what is important to him or her in their online social circuit and use it to their advantage and not try to fit in 'everywhere'. It should be decided in the light of self-improvement, knowledge-gaining, humour seeking and harmlessly entertaining.
Last week I read that a 17 year girl committed suicide because her parents admonished her for spending long hours in Facebook. From when did Facebook become THAT important that it out ruled every sensible reason that should not be out ruled? I used to abuse social media later to realise its not taking me anywhere. I got wasted as a person. Like I always say, all things need to be taken in moderation and with a grain of salt.
With conviction, you gain perspective and its never late; cause this menace will not have a full stop unless it begins with you.
