maybe it's how you see others. my expectations about real life relationships are almost all unique our interactions are unique and the love joy and hate they bring all unique. you talk of dull reality, mine has been is rich and fresh. at present i live. they live, we have meaning. to look at death as a final thing diminishes these loves and hates. to say we die and the internet is forever makes me want to pee and giggle whilst sniggering. you're saying we die and the internet lives on. i say we die and we live on in the minds of others. your net wont live for ever. nothing will and thankfully it won't have a tombstone or be a tombstone. it will be forgotten quicker than the omega. we live on for generation after death. such things as the net and pc's will vanish from memories within two or three. by to real relationships., they're much more novel than any internet chat room or app. we have imagination. they have keyboards and mics. we don't need the internet, it like gods need us, without us it fades into obscurity. how do we know who or how many others have met. sorry but i disagree with you about the net, it's just smoke and mirrors. if you want smoke and mirrors then maybe you're correct life for you is a dull reality.

I think that your expectations about real life relationship far exceed their dull reality. They aren’t novel, they aren’t unique, and larger-picture they are rarely meaningful in any enduring way. You die, they die, and you will all die, well then the relationship is over. The internet, however, is forever.
Social media is an interactive tombstone.
