Daily Gratitude: What would happen inside of people’s heads (because they’d never admit it to others) if there was no like button (or any of the other ones either) AND there was no way for others to comment? What do you think they would post, if anything? Have you ever thought about it and wondered if anyone would read your posts and more importantly, you’d never know what they were thinking, would you? Do you really know now? You see what they write but is that what they are actually thinking? Is there a wisp of anxiety thinking about that? Wouldn’t it be nice to just see what others are doing or what they are going through? And if they were having a hard time, you could – gasp – pick up the phone or send an email or message or something a bit more personal. That would require a bit of effort and memory though to remember beyond the next scroll. Wouldn’t that mean more to the other person (or to you if it’s you who needed the support)? How much support is really given by hitting one of those reaction buttons? They’ve even taken away the personalization of the birthday greeting by already typing it out for you so all you have to do is hit “post”. That is pathetic in my opinion. It doesn’t mean anything. Think about these things next time you scroll here. I know this isn’t a popular thought but I think it’s something we should all reflect upon.
