Okay, it’s a great platform for organizing your family and friends into groups, reconnecting with those with whom you lost contact forever ago, and generally connecting with like-minded friendly cohorts, but Facebook is also a great place to confront your preconceptions and learn some new ways of looking at life, love, perceptions, and maybe even discovering just exactly what really makes you happy. Stranger things have happened.
I get a great deal of pleasure from finding Facebook friends from across the globe and finding threads of commonality among all those who connect. It’s easy enough to get affirmation from those in your culture, age group, and with similar social/political leanings, but why not see just how little separates you from those who are as dissimilar as possible along several spectrums, but extraordinary examples of humanity struggling with issues that may be different but remarkably similar overall. Embrace the human race, we’re all in it together…
