Reality: Social Networking does NOT equal real life...

My MySpace status update today states: "Aja says the internet is not real life nor does it define anything within it"...This is my food for thought today as a turn of events happened in my life yesterday that made me reevaluate just how out of control the internet has gotten...People truly catch feelings based upon very superficial, childish and empty things that occur through text behind a screen...This computer and this internet can protect the person who is on the giving end of things, but what of the person on the receiving end? ...Left emotionally distraught with open-ended promises or unanswered anguish only left to guess and build upon their own emotions based on this uncertainty...This creates a cornucopia of false pretenses and conclusions drawn so early they haven't even become a thought yet...Then suddenly things become ugly and people are no longer sworn lifelong friends, and middle America young ladies are killing themselves over the loss of a prospect of love that was never a real prospect at all or being raped by online predators...And broken hearted men and women are aimlessly mulling over that last text message sent by the love of their life and relentlessly trying to decode the encryption within it in order to reach some false sense of closure...And in all of this, there is nothing...And all time and love and ultimately all people...Are wasted...And yet we continue to base this thing we call social networking, the internet, and cellular communication and all the rancidness of its' nature as all that is meant to be taken seriously in this world...The insecure nature of those who dwell behind the security blanket of a screen of communication are seen solely by those individuals who know that things are not always what they seem...A manipulative nature can only be reciprocated by those smart enough to recognize that manipulation is a game that can be easily played by being still and ignoring ignorance...This shit is not real people...Believe that, and you will be much happier...
