Let's talk about your Facebook feed

A piece of my (pakialamerong) mind: (This is a very lengthy post).
I have almost a thousand friends in FB. Compare to other people, that is not a lot. But that's a lot of people of different character, behavior and mindset. I don't expect all of them to agree with me on my opinions on certain things. I bet some people already unfollowed or unfriended me because I post too much stuff about things like superhero movies. I am sure all of us are guilty with this, and it only differs in interest. A mother who posts a lot about her kids. A baker who posts all of her baking masterpiece. A gamer who updates his friends of the latest games that he plays. A gym buff who posts a lot of shirtless selfies. There are people who use FB as their diary.
People of different opinions. Some are more loud. Some are more persuasive. Some are more abrasive. And there are times that we don't agree with them. Some are very active in posting their rebuttal in the comment section. Some just let it slide. Some of the posts can tick you off and sometimes you get tired of reading it to the same person. Do you choose to comment and engage in verbal jousting or live the life of reading your FB feed in peace?
That is YOUR feed. That is YOUR page. You can control what you want to see or read in your FB feed. I have unfollowed and unfriended a lot of people because of this. And reading my FB feed is more bearable and enjoyable.
But if you want to create chaos or constantly debate with people on ideas that you don't share the same sentiments, or make them persuade that you are in the good (and good luck doing that) by all means, do it. If you want your daily experience of FB feed surfing a challenge and infuriating, it is all your decision. YOU can always choose to live a peaceful life or swim in chaos.
