Forget the "Like" Button

The "LIKE" button

I seem to like it very much

I like it way too much

I like to see who has "liked" me

If someone has not "liked" me -- WHY???

Seems way too much importance is placed on a little button

Not only that, but why has the "love" button not been pushed today?

GOOD GRIEF!

I'm going back to the days of actually reading articles for the enjoyment of reading the article -- rather than wasting time clicking "like" and "love" and "laughing" etc. buttons, as well as looking to see who else has "liked" it. What a waste of time!

I'm going back to the days of enjoying viewing photos and then moving on. Who cares whether I like it or don't like it or love it or ... it's ridiculous.

I'm going to enjoy posting my own pictures or articles for the simple reason of enjoying sharing them with others. Forget spending time seeing who all "likes" it.

Wow.

If those buttons are something that give others great joy then I say go for it.
If, like me, others have concluded it's a silly waste of time, then we will respectfully silently enjoy things without having to post how we feel about them.

Social Media can be great ... and then again it can fill hours of time doing absolutely nothing

I have no desire to be some internet sensation, a reality star or a Kardashian wanna-be
I shall be content with keeping it simpler
Ah ... I'm already enjoying it.

It kind of cracks me up as I'm reading my Bible this morning. I can't help but think of our ancestors in the faith -- they were no different than we: human beings who needed to love and be loved, people who needed the acceptance of others

I have to wonder what a system of "liking" and "loving" and "laughing" and "crying" over people's pictures and posts might have done to our Biblical ancestors. I think they would have been just as nuts over it all as we are today. We are, after all, a shallow people -- I am right in the midst of that grouping -- but we are. It's far better if we admit it.

I'm going to sign off for now.
I wonder if anyone will "like" what I said today?
There I go again ... !!!

Enjoying the journey,

Debra
