The onanistic experience...


After using Facebook for over a year I must conclude that it seems to heavily facilitate fostering relationships based on congratulatory responses, the absence of which—or expressed as critical commentary—results in discarding those that threaten the desired onanistic experience in which one's ego is constantly stroked in abbreviated outbursts of riskless and reciprocated approval.


Does pointless pandering for acceptance serve to silence doubts and dialog about our selfish and gluttonous behavior, questionable ethics, disastrous desire for wealth, and blatant disrespect for our talents and ability to create empathic relationships by recognizing our weaknesses and need for change and improvement?


Facebook reminds me of that castle under a spell, its inhabitants in a dream from which only a beautiful prince can awaken them. Oh, how I wish I were that prince instead of a frog...
