The fame game

"I need to put something dazzling status on facebook.", my friend just shouted out loud after a thoughful silence. "??", me. "Dude, you know people like my status a lot." and he started of thinking some jargon sentences to put, whether it may be a love/sacrifice type of quote or some career/philosophy kind of stuff. There are many people around us who are just like my friend. Their desperate need to seek attention encroaches their thinking power and rather than understanding the essence of these wisdomic(i know this is not proper English) sentences, they just want to flash it out publicly and get appreciated. And thanks to Mark Zuckerburg, we don't have any scale for appreciating a thought. So a single LIKE can misguide the naive mind of the one who puts the status. Then he starts floating in air thinking of himself as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle. As the LIKEs increases, he become more and more dogmatic about his thought process. Then rises the army of LIKEans. (This may be the effect of me watching the Underworld movie recently...:D) He then checks the ones who liked his status and in order to keep them happy and loyal to him, he LIKEs their status without thinking.
   
Thus all the ethics and morals of thought process, wisdom and word power are flushed into the derogatory fame game of Social networking.
