Beautiful sunny day, welcome. So good to feel the sun after the gloomy few days of clouds and early darkness,,, dark by about 4:45.
the temptation of going into facebook, every time I get on the computer. Avoided it consciously so far, difficult as it is to go check on whats happening in the world of facebook friends. most of them I hardly know. But the sharing of interesting subject matters and videos makes it very interesting and tempting to get back into.
I remember reading somewhere, that traditions are followed to get people together and share. That is why most of the traditions focus on sharing with the family and friends. There by creating bonds and strengthening existing bonds and making relationship stronger.
Facebook is one tool that seems to broaden the spectrum of sharing and there by creating bonds that would never have.
So why is it so addictive, one reason been that most people who are addicted to it (like me) are looking for some kind of belonging, some kind of constant bond (which all human beings need ). In times different or when relocating from ones native land was not popular, there was the bond and sense of belonging to the family, relatives, the neighborhood, village.
But with the development of transportation, making travel and movement of people around the world easier and faster, relocating to foreign lands have become easier. And as human need for bonding with fellow humans is a requirement as is food. The quest for bonding, to overcome the feelings of loneliness, takes us to the universe of internet and Facebook. Where its feels easier to share thoughts and get into discussions with people who one would not in real life. And it feels easier to open a part of your life to strangers whos name we would not know had it not been for Facebook.
