This is a horribly self-pitying blog post. It's typical of a lot of people I've met these days where they are so self-centered, they can't bother to feel happy for someone else.
"I just got a bonus at work because I worked my ass off!"
"I got nothing, thanks for making me feel like a pile of shit!"
Why not be happy for your friends? If I see that my friends are on vacation, or enjoying their lives, I feel genuinely happy for them. I don't feel jealous. And they certainly aren't posting on Facebook to make their friends feel jealous.
The author should come to grips with the fact that the world doesn't revolve around him, and that if he doesn't post anything no one will notice or even care. This whole "keeping up with the Joneses" is a phenomenon he has created himself, and if he can't handle the fact that other people are actually enjoying successes in their lives, then he should definitely log off from Facebook.
- Hawkee 14y agoI feel more sad for my friends than happy. I just see so many people buying happiness and living for themselves. Sushi dinners and sky diving adventures don't impress me. I just wonder what they're living for, money and pleasure? What impresses me is the expression of humility, meekness and modesty. I believe there's a real famine of this on Facebook.
- tedunangst 14y agoPeople have been eating sushi for a long time. Some of them even like it.
- Hawkee 14y agoDon't get me wrong, I love sushi. I make it any time I find really fresh fish. I just don't want to define myself as a decadent eater on facebook.
