Happy Happy Disease

I get tired of all the fake happiness on Facebook. There's this prevailing attitude that one must pretend to be "happy happy" all the time on Facebook.

It's like a disease that infects our internet society. Be happy or be judged!

I prefer my friends to be real. I accept their flaws and understand that their occasional negativity is actually part of living a meaningful life.  Truth.

Our most enduring myths and best societal stories involved overcoming struggle, not encountering "happy happy" perfection all the time. Of course, if you mention your struggle on Facebook or Twitter or other social networks these days, it's like facing a firing squad of happy happy police who judge mercilessly. 

If you're reading any of this and disagreeing strenuously, you might actually be one of those happy judges.

Meaningful possibilities rarely turn into actual successes without a good amount of struggle.  
And it's ok to discuss that.
