Much like alcohol and organised religion, Facebook can ruin your health, wreck your marriage and make you appear stupider than you are. But it also brings great joy in other ways. Take a simple thing like brunch. There are people out there who, through postings on Facebook, remind us that brunch can be a spiritual epiphany. “OMG! Just had the most DI- VINE brunch eva!!” The same goes for children.
The same goes for children. If it weren’t for parents posting pictures of their perfect progeny, you might think it was normal to have unremarkable offspring. Thanks to their efforts, we now know that some kids are so brilliant that one is almost blinded by their corus- cating countenances and super- natural intelligence.
“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass – it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” The picture is of a child standing in the rain. She doesn’t look happy, probably because she knows she’s in for a thrashing when she gets home. And the kind of places that have not been rearranged by the hand of man are in such remote areas that you’d be a fool to go there alone. Nature in its raw form will go out of its way to kill you.
“Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.”
