I have a “friend” on Facebook that I like less the more he/she shares. This person… that I’ll call “Karen” just for this post — has children and grandchildren that are all perfect creatures about to become — or already are — famous. Like… REALLY big deal famous! Her husband is the best carpenter on the planet and has turned their home into an adorable bungalow. Her life is perfect… until it isn’t.
When things aren’t perfectly perfect, she’s sicker than anyone has ever been. EVER. And then, she spouts her political preferences and if anyone comments in disagreement, she deletes their comment, unfriends and blocks them so they can’t read the awful things she says about them afterward. It makes me crazy!
I need to remember — we can’t take social media so seriously.
Sure, when “Karen” recently shared about the death of 2 people with her versions of their life stories that were horribly negative, I couldn’t help but think how low class it is to post anything like that publicly — especially upon someone’s death. When she got to the part about the awful interactions she had with them more than 25 years previously, I wanted to slap her face.
But if you really think about it… we’re just recreationally offended most of the time. The people she degraded weren’t personal friends or even acquaintances of mine, so it was just noise.
But let “Karen” talk about my little cur dog…
One word about the little starving mutt that now eats lying down and I’d for sure flip my ever lovin’ shit. 🙂
Now you know: Some people are genetically gifted in that they can sleep for as little as 4 hours without suffering from daytime sleepiness or other consequences of sleep deprivation.
