Dislikes (3)

Somehow I can't help feeling that the popular "like" button on facebook is truly the "escape button": people use it pointlessly, to fill the void of the words they cannot bring themselves to say. They know not the value of silence; they abhor the silence, in fact. They feel that they must always say something, in any possible circumstance; they reject the idea of being caught off-guard, out of words. So they hit a button: they "like it", it's okay, the world retains its order. It doesn't. It's just another illusion.

I'm not sure yet about the "catty" definition. I've found that other post rather amusing. It's always fun to see the anonymous mob venting out their hatreds - it's like watching an alcohol-fire, hot but fading fast. Or a soft /b/ thread on 4chan.
