The world is going more and more down the drain everyday, it shows more in relationships that we could daily develop with total strangers in any public places. Ask yourself this simple question : Who's the last unknow person with whom I maintained a conversation without any a priori ? The most expected question would rather be when, you'll tell me. A long time ago, or never, for some of you. Which explains community sites' birth like SG. People no longer seek to really meet and share not even a piece of their lives with others. Instead they're sticking to their positions, their certainties, hiding behind a mask of indifference sometimes, and thus not recover more questions.We sacrifice the palpable in favor of the impalpable, by focusing on virtual instead of real, which is described as some "inconsequential". Personnally, I see one of size, relations' progressive deshumanization. Just imagine how many people we could meet in a lifetime, it's simply huge, humanly speaking, it'll be reciprocally rewarding. A fact shocked me on the site, the fact that we are reduced to ask people to become friends with us. It's completely aberrant ! Where are the natural hospitality, the meeting's warmth ? Dashed. I think for myself that it's more displaced than talking to a total stranger. Food for thought.
