Facebook aka Bragbook

I have slowly started to loathe the social network.  Don't get me wrong, I check it daily.  But seriously, do I need to know what someone is doing every second of the day? NO! Do I need to hear what trip you went on, what clothes you bought, what vehicle you drive, what fine bottle of wine you bought, what restaurant you ventured to, how much money  you spend, what you did with whomever. NO, I do not.  I am guilty of some of these posts but  I am learning there are all "types" on FB.  I really don't quite get the people who feel the need to BRAG!!! Have you not heard the saying, "You can't take it with you!". Well, let me clue you in, You really CAN'T.  People today are so obsessed with STUFF. What they drive. What they wear. Where they go.  Is it really all worth it?! I would have to say NO.  Does it really make you a better person because you have more STUFF? NO.  I have had most of my "stuff" packed away for well over a year and I can honestly say, I don't miss it.  It was just stuff that filled up a lot of wasted space.  I have my family. I have a vehicle that gets me from point A to point B and a roof over my  head. That's all I need. But oh no, look, I am "bragging". Shame on me....If only the world was filled with more humble people.....
