Internet

A little rest from studying... :)

I am a computer addict. I know that. I can see people looking down at people like me. Asking us, why we spend so much time at cyber space. Well the answer is simple. I prefer to stay in a world where people are able express their inner thoughts with out fear. But with recent developments, the internet that I sought peace with is starting to turn into another world were mindless people can simply log in and say their nonsensical thoughts.

Facebook is one of the most amazing addition to the thousands of online websites to have ever grace our generation. It connects us with our friends and family from outside the country and even allows us to meet new people with out actually seeing them in the real world. It can also give people the opportunity to find others who share their same likes and discuss these through organized online groups. Everything about facebook is amazing. But the recent trends that are starting to spread online is starting to annoy me.

The first one are the pictures concerning religion. I know there are a lot of religious people in the Philippines and i don't judge you for posting pictures about your God. But what annoys me are the posts, where it says. "Like this if you love God, ignore if you love the devil." All I can say to this is Fuck You! Because we simply ignored your post, you can immediately call us heretics? Damn you, I know the people posting this doesn't have any ill intent when they share the pictures. But come on, that's what the picture is trying to say. If we don't like, we are immediately tossing away our beliefs and siding with evil.

The next one is how people are sharing pictures of people with really bad diseases. I don't know if its true or not, but come on. If you really want to help these people why would you just sit in front of your computer and like some picture of them suffering? it would be better if you would actually start doing something that would actually benefit these people. I mean, there's bound to be more than one victim of these diseases, so what's the difference with curing one when there are bound to be thousand more suffering from such misfortune. I know, I'm no different, when I'm simply ranting here on my blog about such things but think about it. Are we really helping these people by liking their pictures.

And here's where I draw the last straw. Why would you people post a picture about what others are doing and start ranting about it? Let's take a picture I saw recently (the reason why I'm posting this message). It's about SM and how it's slowly cutting down trees and building countless branches. I know they aren't exactly helping mother nature by doing that but you'll criticize them when there are countless of people out there doing things worst than this? I mean, even we are no exceptions from such actions. In one way or another, we have all treated mother nature poorly. We could also have seen people doing such destructive actions but what do we do in such instances? Nothing, we would just look at them and walk away like nothing happens. And when we come home, we would start ranting about something similar just because the perpetrator is well known. So let me ask you again. What difference are you people doing?

I know this blog isn't exactly helping mother nature, nor am I doing any good just by ranting at others that who are ranting themselves. But let me tell you this now, this message is for me as is it for all of those people out there. If we want a better world, we better start changing and I'm no different. I wish for change, but if I continue as a computer addict nothing will happen. But for those who are happy just to like a stupid picture then, all I could say is FUCK YOU!

ayaw ko to post fb, baka magulpi ako... :)), anyway aral na ulit
