Let's us distinguish between 'Like' and 'Comment'

Don’t worry if I do not ‘LIKE’ the photos you paste on your wall. I’ll definitely tick ‘Like’, provided that they are nice, beautiful and charming to look at. I would instead comment on such photos as are mind-boggling and heart-rending. What does it mean if I like the photos that show butchering, street fights, violence, et cetera? Why should I tick ‘Like’ for such photos? Do you ‘Like’ violence? Of course, not. Then, it will be wiser if we comment rather than send ‘likes’ for the photos.

I’m still at a fix whether users of the social networking site, Facebook, are in the 17-21 age group. It must be so. Most users are seen pasting photos just to receive ‘Like’ for their photos, thinking that it will bring them closer to one another. This is enough to conclude that they are in that age bracket.

We do not seem even least bothered about whether the photos that show man-slaughters, street violence, disastrous accidents, natural disasters or any other things that send shivers down our spine are meant for ‘Like’. I think they may be thinking like what I’m thinking. But, without taking even a second, they just tick ‘Like’ disregarding the message that photos are intended to convey.

This is a spine-chilling accident in which people may have died leaving far behind their relatives, sibling, families, friends or colleagues, husbands or wives, boy friends or girl friends. If this sort of pasted on wall, this is not even remotely related to the fact that this is to be liked. Why to like the photo, instead of mourning the deaths or praying for eternal peace for the deceased.

Well, photos of beautiful places, cities, cars, buses, dresses or any other material things and couples or girls or boys have always been succor to eyes. They attract eyeballs and we just tick ‘Like’. This does bring happiness and smiles to our friends and makes them feel appreciated for their effort to search and paste such photos.

So, friends, we should not like everything that does not taste good. We can only comment on them.

The above photo shows a jetliner crashing into a sea. You can imagine how many passengers may have lost their lives. If this sort of photo is pasted on wall and if someone asks you, can you tick 'Like'? No. Definitely no. Whereas sending 'Like' for photo, the second photo is the best example of liking.
