Let me expand on a subject. The internet. You think that you have become a master of it. You can seek any kind of information using google services and you follow the news like every responsible human being should do. You deem that you can discern the difference between true and false. I will tell you the whole truth. Don't take everything at face value.

Every single source of information is biased. Every single article that you read has a hidden purpose. To manipulate you. They use a pretty good tactic; brain washing. They infiltrate into your mind and make you feel that you know everything even though you know only that they want you to know. They use some kind of propaganda so as to persuade you to follow a particular way of thinking. Finding the unbiased one is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Furthermore, you use social networks in order to keep in touch with your friends and relatives. For instance, you are fond of facebook. You wake up in the morning and turn on your pc just to see if someone has liked the last photo that you have uploaded. Can you realize that many of your acquaintances are just fed up with the great numbers of pictures that you keep uploading? Remember the time when having not received a like from a particular person for three days you just erased him. What a pathetic behavior!

At the same time you feel great when you don’t like a person's picture. By doing that you hurt their feelings. I have to admit that you are very reliable person! And when someone leaves you a comment that you find inappropriate you are under the weather for a long time and that affects the way that you behave towards your family and your co-workers. Do they deserve that kind of attitude?

What is more, you have a thousand "friends" in order to show to others that you are really famous and they should respect you for that, even though they are friends of your friends and you have never met them in person! But I know another reason why you do it. To show it to your potential employer in order to become a worker at a café for instance. The tragedy begins when the boss is waiting from you to invite them to the place so as to raise their revenues.

Another point to consider is the fact that every single site that you visit collects data which are sold to other sites. That is why you keep receiving annoying commercials about a particular item that you have already bought a month ago. Is there any kind of privacy out there? No, of course not!

All in all, you need to be really cautious when it comes to communicating with people not only in real life but also via facebook. In addition, be wise and choose the right source of information. The one which is telling you the truth and only that.
