Is facebook a friend or a foe?

We all have a need for friends. To love and be loved, and to be accepted. Facebook does that for us. It gives us friends that wish us Happy Birthday, share their problems, frustrations and successes. With facebook friends you can say things you would not have the courage to say face to face. You even have friends to play games with.

Now Monopoly is replaced with building farms. And just like Monoply it's all fake money, fake farms. No need to get up early to milk cows or grow crops. We had a real farm once, and none of our friends came to help us. But on facebook friends from all over the world lend a hand. If only!

Having said all that, I love facebook. I love to be connected to people. Barbara Streisand sings a song "People who need people, are the luckiest people in the world." I must be very lucky (I prefer blessed) because I need and love people. God created each one. We are all wonderfully and uniquely created.

Must finish up now. I have a few phone calls to make to invite some real friends over to play Canasta and Bannagrams.

See you on facebook or maybe over a cup of coffee sometime soon.
