The Social Network Conundrum

It seems that no one in facebook/twitter does not want to hear about the pains in others lives. Only the messages with positive connotations is percolating the masses and is gaining in popularity; which is a good sign. However, I was wondering whether this is a good sign which is when I remembered the goodness the positive vibes can bring to your life. By spreading such messages, be it inspirational quotes or post/tweet about someone being happy and all, the positive energy is made to float all along the web. Sometimes, especially when I am low, I wonder if people are even faking these posts, saying that they are happy. This thought is cynical as it is, I already know that, but still one has to agree to the fact that once in a while, people do slip in such posts, just to get attention. All in all, it is a good-sign that social network is having such a good influence in our lives, because that is where we seem to be spending a lot of time at.

PS: The reason for the title: I wanted to use the word conundrum somewhere, so I chose it; ofcourse BBT is a big inspiration for choosing this word. Still not sure whether it is the right word to use here, though.
