Shortly after I joined Facebook, I was thrown into many groups. I became hooked ... even addicted. I spent many nights laughing at some of the posts so hard, my stomach hurt. I would be up until the wee hours of the morning, afraid to log off, thinking I would miss the next important topic or catalyst for laughter. Slowly, things began to change. I began to witness posts from a few individuals whose lives were filled with hate. They always posted things that were negative, divisive, and warped. I realized people with such deep seeded hate existed, but Facebook revealed it on a whole new level. I tried to overlook them as they would viciously attack anyone who disagreed with their life views. In hindsight, Im glad these individuals participated. They forced me to re-evaluate what is truly important ... endlessly debating topics with people who I will never meet and that will never result in either side changing their minds .... or .... ..... spending more time making money at work, spending more time with my wife and kids instead of typing on my laptop, and enjoying REAL life with those who appreciate the love I have to offer. I spend far less time on Facebook than I did a year ago. Its not because of the loving, kind, and considerate Facebook members. Were it for you, I would still be hooked . Its the bitter, hateful, and jealous members who have given me perspective. Thank you.
