Away from FB

Human nature is strange. We always count our happiness relatively. May be this thinking leads us to desire for more and more. Facebook makers have captured this thread of our thinking to make money for themselves. First I joined FB in Sept 2010. Initially it was more of a curiosity as by that time FB was talk of the town, city, country, world. I was uploading my photos, chatting with old friend,  but as days passed I was getting addicted to FB. Soon I realized I was using FB as a platform to peep into others lives. But here the fun is you can get to know only those things about people which they are willing to share with you. Everybody has ups and down in life. But Everyone is posting happy thoughts and jolly photos on FB. May it be international vacation or marriage or weekend outing. But slowly it was dragging away focus from my own life. Did following others activity helped me anywhere? I think no. I do not have internet on my phone, still I used to spend 20-30 minutes a day on FB. 30 minutes a day means 15 hours a month which I could have affectively used to learn new recipe, learn drawing. From Sept 2010 to June 2013 I have tried many times to be away from FB, I deactivated my profile but the temptation to be connected ( With whom? and for what? are the questions I ask myself now.) was restricting me.  Finally this time my conviction and my hobbies helped me to keep myself away from FB. Now it’s been 7 days I have quite FB. Really, life is so simple without hi fi electronic gadgets and FB. I am not against the electronics gadgets but one should draw boundary on where and when to use them. Believe me that saves lot of time which can be invested in other priority and important stuff like calling a friend instead of chatting on FB or making a nice recipe for dinner or clearing up you home or exercise. I am sure most of you would have also tried to keep away from FB. So Please share you stories of regular attempt to leave FB :).
