“I hate gandhi”….this was a message posted on her wall by one of my distant cousin on her facebook profile on oct 2nd.
And there were close to 30 comments for the same from different friends chiming in their views hating Gandhi.
I Personally feel even though you have the right to speak whatever you want to , you need to exercise restraint when commenting in public because it is humanely impossible not to hurt others with such remarks.
I have seen many of the GEN X whiz kids making such mockery about some of the well respected personalities. So this made me ponder over whether Social networking is a Boon or a Bane ??
It is always good to stay connected with your loved ones especially when you have to stay away from them most of the times in this materialistic world. Be it Facebook / twitter/ Orkut/Buzz/ Blogs .
It is always difficult to walk the fine line between expressing our thoughts and sounding abusive.
It would be highly appreciable if we can limit our personal ire’s to our surroundings rather than going public just to make it as a fashion statement. If I hate my neighbor that doesn’t necessarily mean I go public ON AIR and vent out my disappointment and fall prey to anti social elements who always keep on scorching for such channels.
Even Sugar when consumed in excess doesn’t taste sweet.
Play it safe..Stay on the line...
For few people, walking against the obvious truth or followed traditions/facts mean making a trend or fashion. For few others, supporting them mean following the "different" trend. 66 billion people and 66 billion different mentalities. If there are people who love challenging a respected personality, that comes as no surprise! They are blind to 10,000 good things a person does and have 20 eyes for one negative deed. As for "I hate Gandhi" comment... I would... "lol..." No more! They dont deserve more attention or reaction than that. I dont think they even deserve space on your web log!!
