Camouflage On Social Media

Latest discussion at the cafe with my friend was about the camouflage on social media. The sample of this analysis is based by our close friends. The method of this post is inductive, means i made conclusion from the specific to general, from the case that i see from my friends, then make a conclusion in general.

Recently, as the development of social media and the easy access of internet could give people a right to use their personal account, like facebook, twitter, path, instagram, or even this blog and so many more. No one or nothing can stop them, so people free to read, or not to read, to share or not to share. But there would be a question, how far they can share thoughts, photos, and who will stop the readers/followers/friends judging them?

Today, the conflict that happen at social media is 'booming' too. Like the controversial post of Marissa Haque at blog, or microblog like twitter that called 'twitwar'. Then (just my personal opinion) a disturbing tweet from farhat abbas, and many anonymous user that claim themselves as investigator or journalist. If one of the user share the frontal statement that affect the mass reaction of other user because they may leak a conspiration theory or just make a stupid statement/even the smart ones. But nowadays people respons more to stupidity than intelligence. Yeah, another show-off, people! :))

The account, that represent the personality of user, sometimes could give us an unpredictable thing that would be very interesting. Like one of my friend, in the society, she would be very quiet, passive and shy, but when she is at home, hold her blackberry that connected with twitter and facebook, would change herself to be more active, seduce and confident. (Personal opinion). The other sample, one of my friend, a boy always shows a sadness, and mellow statement at his 'status' at facebook, but when we meet him, we can see a cheerful boy with light attitude. 

Ah, but you will never see how the pattern comes, and you will never make a solid theory, then. The phenomenon just a mirror to reflect the personal things, human with the complexity of psychology things. I think finally the choice is made by ourselves like how we control our self in a society, it is your choice to show people your different side that may give you another positive respons or to show off what you are good at. Its your choice, but at least dont make it really contrast and annoying if you dont want people laugh at you. Anyway, people will judge anyway, but dont mind to show who you really are. Be yourself, but lets be the best of yourself! 

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. 

Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth.

So, randomly i ask something random to someone i randomly know from tumblr, and then, he just answer.

karina-oktriastra asked you:

Ben, do you have a ‘hole’ in your heart? when you feel something is missing and you cant do anything about that? then what will you do?

We all do don’t we? You can’t do anything about it? But you are doing something about it. It’s just whatever you are doing right now is no longer fulfilling. We fill it with friends, lovers, parties, drugs, sex, alcohol, music and art. With our prayers, our churches, our mosques and our gods, with our faiths and beliefs, with the knowledge we’ve gained, with our identities, our nationalism and our ideologies. We do all that just to make sense of something that is insane. Life is insane, absurd and unpredictable. And all of these things gives us comfort. To belong to something, to be a part of something, to hold on to something gives us comfort.

We always want to belong to something, but very seldom do we want to belong to everything. 

What will I do? What will I do is what I will do. The question is what will you do? What will you do when something is missing? What will you do?

Our death is our wedding with eternity. 

What is the secret? "God is One." 

The sunlight splits when entering the windows of the house. 

This multiplicity exists in the cluster of grapes; 

It is not in the juice made from the grapes. 

For he who is living in the Light of God, 

The death of the carnal soul is a blessing. 

Regarding him, say neither bad nor good, 

For he is gone beyond the good and the bad. 

Fix your eyes on God and do not talk about what is invisible, 

So that he may place another look in your eyes. 

It is in the vision of the physical eyes 

That no invisible or secret thing exists. 

But when the eye is turned toward the Light of God 

What thing could remain hidden under such a Light? 

Although all lights emanate from the Divine Light 

Don't call all these lights "the Light of God"; 

It is the eternal light which is the Light of God, 

The ephemeral light is an attribute of the body and the flesh. 

...Oh God who gives the grace of vision! 

The bird of vision is flying towards You with the wings of desire.
