54. It is evil. And, I hate that people

Thu May 6, 2021, 08:51 PM

May 2021

Use it as a way to brag about how wonderful they are. Which in turn can make others feel like their life is not as perfect. But, it also serves a purpose. A lot of elderly people get to see what their close relatives and friends are doing. It makes my mother feel connected with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Facebook has helped my 90 year old mother survive the covid times while being isolated.
