The desire to communicate through a social website is often the desire to create a virtual existence in a fictional world, though a very few of us may really access the site to find people living in flesh and blood.

The desire for this virtual communication, innately presupposes that our ability (and confidence) for direct, face-to-face contact has gone awry, and the ever-increasing no of gadgets and applications that facilitate communication via the internet seems to prove the veracity of the statement.

We have shut off our vulnerable self that is at risk being hurt if our communication is not reciprocated, and have created personas (masks) to cover up for the unfulfilled need of real human communication. One persona is operative at the workplace, another while travelling to it. The third is operative at the neighbourhood, and the fourth at parties.

The fifth persona - the most convincing copy of our vulnerable self and hence the most spurious one, the fact that we don't think it fake, adding to the deceit - is the persona we create on the social website.

Well what do you have to say about this friends?
