social media

i have 422 friends yet i am lonely. i speak to all of them everyday yet none of them really know me. The problem i have sits in the space between and looking into their eyes or at a name on a screen,i took a step back and opened my eyes i looked around and realized,its media we called social is anything but when we open our computers and its our doors we shut. All this technology we have is just an illusion,community companionship a sense of inclusion yet when you step away from this device of delusion you awaken to see a world of confusion. A world where we slave to the technology we mastered,where our information gets old by some rich greedy bastard,a world of self interest self image self promotion.
A world where we share our best bits but leave out the emotion. we are at most happy when each experience we share ,but is it the same if no one is there? be there for your friends and they will be there too but none of this will happen if a group message will do.
we edit an exaggerate crave adulation,we pretend not to notice the social isolation. we put our words into order until our lives are glistening we don,t even know if anyone is listening. Being alone is not a problem . let me just emphasize . we read a book,paint a picture or do some exercise, you are being productive and present, not reserved and recluse. You will be awake and attentive and putting your time to good use.
so,when you are in public and start to feel alone ,put your hands behind your head step away from the phone. You don,t need to stare at your menu or contact list just talk to one another learn to coexist.
i can,t stand here the silence of a busy commuter train where no one talks for the fear of looking insane. we are becoming unsocial and no longer satisfied to engage to one another and looking into someone,s eyes. we are surrounded by children who since they were born have watched us living like robots and thinks its the norm.
