This wee hour of the morning at 3am, I did one of thing which is pretty unnatural of me - I deleted about 50-60 odd people in my FB list.
It was a very conscious effort because at this point, I felt I just didn't want unnecessary pretentious people or people who are just really acquaintances to be in my list of friends. Though I am contradicting to some point here because I did in fact kept acquaintances I knew some where along my life who were nice people.
OK, what I meant was, I erased all acquaintances that totally met the definition of acquaintance which did not even had the cheek to pop a 'hi' note to me even after adding me into their FB list. Nor once in awhile pop into my life to give me a 'poke' or somewhere along that line.
Though some folks may be opinionated there is no need for such deletion as it is an act of arrogance, but I being rather active in FB where I channel plenty of communication with my friends in every corners of the world, I do appreciate friendship and candor.
To me, if there is no expression to keep the friendship as friendship, there is no value to just hold it there for the sake of it.
I mean, having someone with the need to have a count into their friends' list in FB is just ridiculous because what sense does it specifically make? Or being there in number just to assure him that he is not all alone in this world ? That is honest pathetic.
There are however as sad I am to admit, I have kept few individuals which I feel treacherously about in the list. Simply because I work rather closely with them and I don't want them to know I do have something against them deep down personally. Things like how I do not approve on their contemptuous attitude towards others in the department and etc.
These are as good as white lies. I just don't need unnecessary problems in the office since if such individual has such disposition on people, what's more against me.
I just want peace because I need to work and make a living by end of the day and go live by my passions.
But mark my words, as soon these individuals leave or I leave, there is no hesitation for deletion.
I know. I sound perfectly sinister and crooked but I am just being me.
It's enough of pretense already in reality. I don't need such bullshit. Nor do I need people who adds me in their list just so I come handy in their lives whenever that it. So yes, out you go!
