Histrionic

Facebook is a social network without network. Said my Professor of Psychiatry.

I happened to realized the beauty of this statement until the very end of this academic year. There are no friends there though you thought you have many. No one will remember your presence unless you speak up something catchy or post up something nice.

In reality, life is not always easy and nice. People make photos pretending they are professionals. Oh my goodness. People make sound-bites that everyone likes to hear. They can get so many likes in a few minutes time. Everyone can do it. However, I just want to make use of the chance to tell a story.

沛公入秦宮，宮室帷帳狗馬重寶婦女以千數，意欲留居之。樊噲諫沛公出舍，沛公不聽。良曰：「夫秦為無道，故沛公得至此。夫為天下除殘賊，宜縞素為資。今始入秦，即安其樂，此所謂『助桀為虐』。且『忠言逆耳利於行，毒藥苦口利於病』，原沛公聽樊噲言。」沛公乃還軍霸上。 (留侯世家第二十五)

People will be pleased if they live in the comfort zone. They prefer something that are nice to their ears. But it does not mean that those catchy status would make a person good.
