If you're happy and you know it, post an update

If you're happy and you know it...
These days people actually have so little to say and so many ways (read social media) to say it. My timeline on Twitter talks of what one had for his breakfast, who bought the best brand of vinegar, or when they plan to cross the road. There are yet others who, for the want of a few 'Likes' and flowery comments, bare their entire lives on Facebook for all and sundry.
Maybe it's the inherent human need to be appreciated, but it hardly stops there. From there stems the need to be looked up to, and maybe that's why one comes across pompous status updates where they claim to eternally live in paradise or have professionally reached the pinnacle! Sure. Smirk. smirk.
In the constant need for validation and reassurances, I wonder if they are even living the moment fully. The parties that one attends, the sumptuous food one eats in fancy restaurants, the dresses one shops for are all updated for the benefit of the rest of the world. All in a bid to show a happy and successful face to the world.
I have to say it once again, though - nothing meaningful to share and yet so many means to do that. And this is one of my classic excuses for not being able to blog more regularly.

In a cheeky mood, and hence this post. Don't mean to judge anyone or their life choices
