One of the bitter things that Facebook has done to our lives is what the experts call ‘Fomo’; the fear of missing out. Unlike the old times, we know it when some friend of ours is having a great time at some part of the world and all we do about it is look at our-self and simply wonder what are we doing with our goddamn life. This aspect of social media makes one’s life look depressive than it actually is. The insight to find joy in what we have for our-self simply fades away and we are left with a feeling of numbness. The true blessings are left uncounted and life becomes an idiotic chase for substances which we’re not destined to have. Isnt it time to replace ‘Fomo’ with ‘Jomo’; the Joy of missing out? There can be, and should be, a blissful enjoyment in knowing and celebrating that there are folks having time of their life with something that we might also have loved to do, but are simply skipping. Yes, simply because we realize that we do have better things to do; Things that we find beautiful in our own ways. After all, feeling bad about someone else’s joy is not really ‘missing out’; it is like torturing yourself for being unable to count to infinity. we definitely have a better choice out there; to realize the countless blessings we posses and simply fall in love with the life we have. :)
