The Devil's Favorite Sin

"A pretentious, showy life is an empty life.
A plain and simple life is a full life.
Never confuse activity from productivity."- (R. Warren)

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against those people who posts just about everything and nothing all at the same time on their social media accounts.
From what they eat for breakfast to what they're wearing for the day, their make-ups and jewelries, and then there goes their rants and whines.
But if you were to ask me about my opinion, I would say these are waste of time, energy, and benefits us so little or sad to say, nothing at all.
People pretend to have a perfect life by posting their everyday activities but the truth is, it is a make-belief, an illusion that they have a full life, but the truth is, they have a busy day but an empty life.
Because if you have a full life, you don't bother to convince anyone and everyone that you have one.

Next, forgive me if I don't give much time reading and commenting on chatrooms because let's admit it, its just gossips.
I have to admit, I spend most of my time all by myself simply because I'm fed up with all these gossips all around. Sometimes I wanted to puke seeing people talk about other people's lives and all the negativity that they could say just to make themselves superior. Haha!!! Superior??? Let me remind you that those people who talks about other people (aka Gossipers) have the lowest IQ and EQ. You don't believe me?... Google it.
And it amazes me to see those same people face those people whom they talk about as if they are their best of friends. Imagine that?!!! Wow! Hypocrisy... They are the modern Sadducees.
Yup! I'd rather read a book.
For reasons one, gossips are just a waste of time, two, its a waste of energy, three, it benefits me nothing at all.

Those people who live pretentious lives live in a cage.

"But not because you cannot find bars doesn't mean you're not in a cage. If you don't exactly know the prison you're in, more precisely, you cannot get out of that cage" (Ishmael)

These people are captives of an illusion of a life they make themselves believe.

There's nothing wrong about all the social medias and chatrooms... But more than just our pretentious activities, it would be much better if we make our lives productive by spending more time with your kids and your family without a gadget on your hands.
Instead of reading and commenting everything in your group chats, why not read a book... A bookworm is much wiser than a gossiper.
Instead of posting your OOTDs or your vainful selfies... Try to post something more inspiring than vanity itself.

Because at the end, almost all of these are vanity...

...and Vanity is the devil's favorite sin.

P.s. If you wonder why I seldom post on my social media accounts...
Three reasons:
1.) I only post what is inspiring.
2.) I only post what is necessary.
3.) I have a REAL LIFE outside the social media world.

P.p.s. Don't try commenting to this post just to pretend that you don't belong to the circle I'm referring to.
