Facebook lost its initial intent a long time ago I think - people rarely use it for its intended purpose such as keeping in contact with family and old school friends, people they met on travel.. etc. I find people use it as the first port of call for contact now, forget ringing or texting someone.. just write on someones wall or send them a PM.
I feel sorry for the generation of children growing up with FB, bullying and harassment has gone through the roof since the popularity of social media has grown.

“For a long time I believed the opposite of passion was death. I was wrong. Passion and death are implicit, one in the other. Past the border of a fiery life lies the netherworld. I can trace this road, which took me through places so hot the very air burned the lungs. I did not turn back. I pressed on, and eventually passed over the border, beyond which lies a place that is wordless and cold, so cold that it, like mercury, burns a freezing blue flame.”
