If I do read fiction it is the 'classics' or something really worthy of the effort. I read for knowledge, and that is entertainment to me. One look at my 4 book cases and you'd get the picture.
But there is one fiction book I like and actually re-read about every 5 years, Horn of Africa by Philip Caputo. Dude's won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting, so it is really no surprise that his realistic fiction appeals to me.
One of the antagonists in Horn of Africa is quoted as writing in his journal, "The ultimate power is to be yourself so totally, that other people do not even exist to you."
I like this, but it is open to many interpretations, some of them strongly negative. But I chose my own focus. And in the focus of living my own life, being my own self I have realized I despise Facebook.
And so with a few keystrokes I killed it. And I already feel myself becoming more and more "rowdy".
Yeah, but does Facebook really ever die? I heard that all your stuff gets saved. Facebook is like the vampire of the internet, immortal.
ReplyDeleteI do like that quote, although I can see the negative aspect of being totally self involved.
you are correct. they keep it on their servers and delete it in their own sweet time.
ReplyDeletebut it is the same of EVERYTHING on the internet. once there it never goes away if someone really wanted it back.
