When Facebook Becomes the Book of Death

Watching Everyone in Your Life Die

Before the internet became mainstream, the only people you kept in touch with were the people you knew at the moment and at far, your college colleagues. . People you grew up with from elementary school, middle school and high school, for the most part, became forgotten memories of times past. But with the internet that is no more. You now have upfront access to the daily lives of most your childhood and teenage friends. But now with Facebook, you’re going to not just 1, 2 or 3 people die, but you’re now going to watch hundreds of people you’ve known get picked off and it quickly becomes a game of chicken if you happen to love longer than everyone else and watch your entire friends list become an virtual graveyard for everyone you’ve ever known.

It began with the death of my dad from lung cancer and then a high school friends death from murder and then my fienwds mom from breast cancer and then a long-time online friends death from brain cancer and then all of this came to my realization that I just can’t sit here and watch my friends die. For my own sanity I’d rather just hear by word of mouth or not know at all. It’s just something I cannot take. So I unintaled both the app and messenger and use an app to disable the timeline and I now can only see groups and marketplace.

Internalize the World’s Problems

Theres a saying “No news is good news” and that is a fact when it comes to Facebook. The world is a corrupt place and it is of no benefit to you to watch in real-time as people beget other people across the globe to across the street. It will eat at the core of your soul.
