What one sees on the internet i...Yes it's true. What one sees on the internet is not necessarily what one gets. I just heard today on the radio that there is a new type of depression in teenagers brought on specifically by Facebook. The kids see all this fun and exciting stuff others are doing and it makes thier lives feel inadequate by comparison and that they are left out of the fun. But they don't see reality, only the surface of what others want them to see. <br /><br />I heard the following quote recently and it's my new mantra when it comes to comparing my life to anybody else's:<br />"Don't compare your insides to someone else's outsides." <br /><br />Words to live by.<br /><br />On a much more important note: How is lambing going? I'm waiting for my girls to pop any minute....I'm full of anxiety and worry. And that's the honest truth.<br /><br />Love-<br />Angie<br /><br />ps-Happy Belated Birthday, you spring chicken.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685637592576563415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6417125765433610974.post-25456483873356375322011-03-24T23:41:17.732-07:002011-03-24T23:41:17.732-07:00I've never interpreted that statement that way...I've never interpreted that statement that way before. I have always thought of having a false witness against my neighbor as speaking ill of him or passing unflattering gossip perhaps? As one internet source says - It means you should not lie (tell an untruth) in such a way that it will hurt someone else. <br /><br />I've never connected that statement with someone else living a deceptive lifestyle. But you're right. We can portray ourselves to be any way we wish over the internet. But I think people have always found ways to be deceptive. The 1950's were known for always portraying a perfect home life, immaculate homes, perfect children, wives greeting their husbands in make-up and heels. My grandmother always said not to let people know your business. In other words, everything looks great from the outside. They don't need to know all our struggles. I don't think things really change.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627928144398775810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6417125765433610974.post-16872186606477337422011-03-24T21:20:20.286-07:002011-03-24T21:20:20.286-07:00I'll take old honest and sincere LaVonne any d...I'll take old honest and sincere LaVonne any day.
