Is your Marriage as Good, as it Looks on Facebook?
October 25, 2016
I suppose it is best to treat Facebook like the old joke about a man visiting his doctor. When he complains, it hurts when I do this. The doctor replies stop doing it. Your friends will continue to post photos on Facebook of their sunny days; it is what we do. I don’t go down to the coffee shop and complain about my squabbles. Acting in the style of a stoic old farmer in public is a good role model. He may be sitting there his arm in a sling with many bruises and scrapes visible, but when asked how you doing? He would reply, doing fine, as he returned to his coffee. Encountering personal emotional trauma in the public square is not the best place for it. Everyone has life frustrations. Everyone experiences the simple boring humdrum of the every day events. When someone asks for prayers and support I use a heart as a reaction. It means I will add a pray of support, at least that is how I use my emoji.
It can look pretty good, yes on Facebook
The election is almost over, but I suppose the simplistic, uninformed, and outright false memes will not stop. I will have to post a cute cat photo, in response. I will refrain from complaining about how abusive my wife is; she is always pushing me around, threatening to beat me up now that she is so fit. Yes sarcasm, irony, and satire are often misinterpreted on Facebook. Facebook has become the daily newspaper, therefore skip right to the comic section and ignore the editorial and teen drama columnists. I am deciding whether to post a selfie of the bruise the tea cup left, it seems Nancy does read these.
