Why Did I Do That

Why Did I Do That

I was sitting at the mall the other day and had a few minutes before my ride arrived. Why not? I’ll scroll through Facebook. I haven’t done that in a while. It didn’t take long before I remembered why I seldom do this. There are only twenty-four hours in a day and scrolling through Facebook is just too much of a timewaster. I prefer to interact with people in person, a far better option that merely reading post after post of mostly useless information.

Don’t people have anything better to do than to share a gazillion posts a day? Or to throw pity parties? Or to tell the world what they ate for lunch or dinner? And then there are the pics they post! Sometimes I honestly hope they get photoshopped and shared with the world on porn sites. And stop whining about politics, religion or how crazy our world is.

Instead of hiding away and living your life on social media, get with the program. There are real people out there who you could be talking to and spending time with. Go for a walk together. Go out for coffee. Go shopping. Do something worthwhile with that valuable time in your life.

What’s the best place in the house to hide from ghosts? The living room. Thank you Alexa. Even that corny joke is more intelligent than what some people post on Facebook.
