Blind French author Jacques Lusseyran said about learning to get around when he became blind, ” . . . this means an end of living in front of things and a beginning of living with them.” Having just posted about Facebook, his words struck me as an apt description of the Facebook experience versus life. With Facebook you live in front of the computer. In life you live with the things and people in life.
I’m not here to beat up on Facebook, but reading this today brought it to mind. Also today I read that a Utah Valley University study found that Facebook is making people sad. Why? Because all the images are of happy people and the Facebook reader deduces that everyone elses’s live is happier than theirs.
And no Theresa, no Twitter either! Ok enough about Facebook! Cheers.
Never say never Beel! Now I’m off to google Jacques Lusseyrn – after I walk Bella and breathe in some of that Florida salt air.
Went to two art shows yesterday and will have to blog about my newest treasures and latest works soon…I’m way behind in computer “work”.
Hope all is wonderful with you and Kristi!
P.S. I saw a painting yesterday that had the word “Orvieto” on a wine bottle…small world.
