Of having to Like everything
The other day, when I was reading the news, there were a few articles which caught my eye.
1. The attack on a naval base in Karachi which caused serious damage to 2 aircraft and claimed the lives of a few pakistani commandos.
2. A photo-essay on the Masked Monkeys of Indonesia. Brilliant photography, very moving.
3. Bob Dylan – the man, the legend, and his legacy
4. The killing fields of Durango, Mexico, where drug wars have claimed thousands of lives, and ripped families apart.
I usually share articles I find interesting on facebook. The keyword here is ‘share’.
Now, I can only ‘Like’ articles. Facebook replaced its Share button with Like.
I’m not sure if that’s a great move. I certainly don’t Like seeing people die, nor do I Like animal cruelty. But I think they’re worth sharing.
I can only share what I Like. It’s just semantics, but feels wrong somehow.
True, people don’t share what they like for the most part. They share what’s important to them. You’re not writing as often as you’d hoped to. I don’t like it, I’m sure you don’t either.
