If social media were a night club, definitely most of us are patrons. But many will be fame whores. Others, then, will be jurors. Certainly, a bashing jury. Some pretend to be experts. Some are drama kings and queens. We are bashing. We are inflicting argument. We are adding salt to the wound. No, not even salt, we are adding chili to the bloody wound. We are the fame whores. We like riding the wave of trends. In fact, we even comment on the NBA finals and the last thing you cared about is the name of the coach!
But after the series of bandwagons, we jump to another topic, to yet another topic, until we go back to our pressured I mean pressured, not treasured selfie photos where your darn toilet bowl is the background. We are the diehard supporters of individuals who are unassociated to us. We even kill for them. We fire guns at anyone who has something negative to say. How connected are we? We go on a date without even talking. We just keep on bubbling on social media, and we keep quiet in the real world.
