The way people use Facebook is diverse. While the majority uses it as a tool to have fun with other people including friends, there are those who use it in a way or another to criticize the politicians or cultural and educational objectives. Posts on Facebook can be then divided into many categories according to the degree of seriousness. These categories may be listed as this: humor, culture, politics and education (and there could be more). But it is important to notice that some accounts posts a mixture content, some posts about culture, others meant to criticize politicians and so on. However, there are some questions to be asked about the role of Facebook or social media generally in our life; like: how does the category of our posts on Facebook affect our lives? Do, for example, our posts of humor affect our degree of seriousness or care in our life?
Let us give a concrete example; a gentleman used to be serious in his job and in the majority aspects of his life, after a while of posting silly and humor content on social media, he became himself lazy and got a new viewpoint about his work and life in a way that everything has no sense. This is a very dangerous situation that may led one to lose his job and be disqualified after all the effort he made to reach that job. It is harmless when you use social media in a reasonable way and limit the amount of content you publish in a specific category.

What about those people who are, or pretend to be, deep and serious? Those whose posts always carry a theme of militancy and criticism, or culture and education. I agree that they play a major role in social media and society as well, but this does not many they are always honest and they mean what they post. Many people let social media take a large amount of their time, even if it is wasted on the account of their real life like studying and working. Finally, all people are free to publish what they want, and our life on social media does not necessarily reflect our real thoughts or the way we perceive life.
