To share or not to share

January was quite a while back and it would be silly on my part if I said I couldn't find anything to write about.

Its funny how someone from this generation begins to instantly wonder whether an incident in their life is worth blogging about or becoming a Facebook status update. In either case, people would see and comment. But the question is : Would you really want that incident to be out there in the open, for public response?

For most other people whose lives are normal (read, unsatisfactory), they find the need to dramatize these incidents to garner a better response from their 'audience' (read, people who have too much time on their hands).

Somethings are best left unsaid. But if they're not talked about, how'd the world know? Is it necessary for the world to know? If not, GREAT ! Lesser information to ponder upon. If so, why is it left unsaid? Perplexing !

So how do you judge which information/incident about your life is worth sharing? Certainly, information about you sneezing three times is not worth an FB status update, according to me. Arguably, many others might find it insightful, who knows?

Why are there so many questions? And no absolute answers? Relativity is quite over-rated ! Even though relativity comes handy in many occasions, sometimes all you want is a common globally-approved answer.
