Social Networking

We have to disabuse our minds
that social networking on the internet
is dangerous because there were cases
of dupe, distrust, murder, and so on
that were hatched on connections
on the internet to the physical.


The world outside the internet
is even more dangerous to live in.


The world carries with it
bags of concealed weapons
that the unlucky becomes a victim.


Because of Capitalism,
the world will never be a better place
and anyone who tries to make it a better place
becomes the victim of the bad ones.


The world is full of people
when caught firing their guns
would say they did not fire their guns
but projected them to the direction
they wanted to gain from.


Let us start by keeping fears out of our minds
because there will always be the victims
and victors of this world.


Living too much in fear can be dangerous
because fear is transient, treacherous and iniquitous.



We must wear our brain helmet in this dangerous world

while in the business of friendship with friends
on the Social Networking websites in the world.
