I’m not really sure of what it means but it seems like everybody is hiding under a constant promiscuous mask today. Internet, which was meant to deliver freedom to people, is now becoming some kind of a jail where many people inadvertently seek their freedom through a persona they create, trying to convince themselves that every lie written on a stupid chat and every false opinion in a forum can actually make out their personality.
I thought that such an amazing form of communication was meant to be useful and well, actually it is useful, but not when you use it to delete your real life and you find yourself stuck in this unreal and false world that someone wants to deliver to you as a new way of living things. So many young people are simply losing the pleasure to hang out and actually know other people for real, their smiles, their angry faces, their voices…
Something went terribly wrong, not everything…but something surely did.
You can say that through a chat or a dating site you can get to know a person for their feelings, without seeing their exterior, but is this really true? Don’t you want the “all inclusive” thing? I mean the whole package? Don’t you wanna see a thing when you buy it? Why should this be different for a person you want to share yourself with? Don’t you wanna see the eyes of a person you call love, or friend?
Maybe it’s just me, maybe I am the one who just doesn’t get it, maybe I’m the one who’s talking shit, but wasn’t the community thing meant for fun? How did it become a parallel life? How did it become this kind of ‘half life’?
