“MAKE FRIENDS QUICKLY, IF YOU DON’T LIKE THEM, UNFRIEND”

======================================
We can’t say that the era of PHYSICAL FRIENDSHIP has ended. It is still alive. Before making them friends we notice them from a different angle. The features of friendship are based on Mutual Understanding, Cooperation, Secrecy, and last but not least Getting together. But the friends of Facebook and Instagram are completely called DIGITAL FRIENDS. The millions of people are twinkling in the sky of Facebook. We are not at all confined in the nest like newborn baby birds. We could spread our wings to fly across the horizon.
It is easy to make a battalion of Digital Friends but hard to know each other. The basic intention to make the DIGITAL FRIENDS is to increase their strength. The profile picture attracts us. Everybody tries his best to see the activity of Facebook Friends but it is difficult to understand them thoroughly before sending a request or accepting the request. We select them from our localities, same caste, same profession, and similar titles. Sometimes we select from interstates also. The process is very easy to be associated with Facebook Friends abroad.
We become friends. The pages of profiles of Facebook Friends are opened. The history and geography of what was seen earlier are all revealed and we press our fingers under our teeth. They don’t even have time to interact with anyone. You write something on their messengers but they never express their gratitude. After sometimes we find that they furnished all information wrong and fake in their profiles. As far as the question is concerned about scholars, we rarely find at least a mutual understanding among them.
Now it is up to us to keep suitable Digital Friends. Nobody has time to confront anyone. I must appreciate this small device which has a nice feature to unfriend unsuitable men and women from the Facebook platform. It is well said, “MAKE FRIENDS QUICKLY, IF YOU DON’T LIKE THEM, UNFRIEND!”
