If one is a rat in real life and roars like a lion here, he is neither rat nor lion

 

I do not believe in doing anything half-heartedly and I do not believe in trivializing anything.

There is a choice for anyone to say that social media does not represent the actual human transaction.

However, I do not want to take that option.

I know that most of the people with whom I interact and who are supposed to be my friends in social media do not take such interactions seriously. They use the forum to portray and market a larger than life image of themselves here. Most others wink at it, and mark "like" even after knowing that the tall claims are just beats of empty drums.

I do not grudge others doing that. It is their choice.

But I have always tried to interact with others in the most natural and spontaneous way from my part, neither exaggerating nor underplaying.

It is my personal standards that matter to me-whether in social media or outside-and not what others think of me.

I think, the transactions in these forums also should follow the pattern we follow in real life..

If one is a rat in real life and roars like a lion here, he is neither rat nor lion, but in my view, he is a vermin..
