The end of Facebook

Have you ever gone through a phase in your life where you felt a change is surely needed and a call for revolution is probably the only form of therapy that can heal your entire being? Well, that's exactly what I was going through.  As you've probably noticed from the title of this blog, yes...I have officially decided to delete my facebook for good.  I find it to be quite distracting and not to mention a hindrance of productivity.  I understand the advantage of being part of a social network, but I suppose the cons seems to outweigh it all.  It was a source of distraction, a newsfeed of gossips, a virtual realm of insecurity/  narcissistic people calling out for attention through its simple yet dull two-color interface.  I have to admit, it was me.  I was falling under every part of that category and I have come to conclusion that this was not healthy for me.  Now don't get me wrong,  I am not criticizing facebook users but rather I am criticizing the enormous amount of moderation of facebook over the last 4-5 years.  Facebook has transformed itself to a place where personal informations are constantly bouncing off all over the internet.  Yes, I understand that nothing is personal on the internet (not even this blog for that matters), but I suppose what pisses me off is the fact how facebook has exploit their user's informations in order to churn a large amount of revenues.  I understand, it's business.  The site itself is hypnotic and manipulative as well.  I found myself waking up every morning and checking my facebook first thing in the morning.  Sometimes when my fingers are placed on the home-key, sub-conciously I type facebook.  It's bizarre.  I suppose the reason for deleting the site was my own way of refusing to be part of a movement that I felt was extremely destructive.  Facebook has sapped away any form of mystery on a person, since all it takes about 1 minute of glancing over someone's profile was all you needed.  What ever happen to building or retaining relationships without facebook?  Sometimes I find facebook infuse passivity onto our effort of making new friends.  You know I can go on with numerous reason as to why I refuse facebook but the main reason is I needed a form of liberation, liberating from my old habit and transform myself into enlighten being.  But before I can do that, I must free myself from worthless constraint, which facebook seems to crown itself,
