Bankrupt Facebook; deactivate Today. One can only try!

Inasmuch as Facebook is reflective of this awful and dreary time in human history, this era of glorified violence, elevated greed, celebrity-championed vulgarity and compulsive materialism, it suffers from the unavoidable characteristic of being addictive without making itself worthy of said addiction. It is, I suppose, able to be utilized, by more capable hands, in some wondrously original and brilliant way - but I remain unable or maybe just merely unsuccessful thus far of wielding it as an instrument of genius. The "average user" appears to be stuck in a feed-back loop of interminable banality. The more capable users probably see it as an onerous habit, an insidious psychological peril, and a potentially frightful waste of time. They probably depend on some system, some satisfying method of preserving their own integrity in the face of enormous temptation. I've found any such "Happy Medium" elusive. What is even worse, the frustration inherent in not causing my time here to serve a higher purpose seems to bring out some of the worse attributes that are common, in myself and others, during this ugly period of Human History. So many of us are dangerously immersed in redundant musings, authoritarian impulses, disembodied babbling and hostile emoting, as if those disparate tendencies were inexorably, mysteriously inter-related. I'm not particularly impressed with social media's supposed transformative capabilities. Or were those "capabilities" merely a product of my delusional thinking? But I suppose there's no harm in waiting a day or two before digitally discorporating. Uggh, I doubt my own will-power to digitally discorporate for a meaningful amount of time - that speaks elegant volumes as to why I should! (Note: Deactivated my Facebook account on Sept. 10, 2012. Still resisting temptation!)
