Sometimes Facebook makes me crazy. Like today. I have a friend who confided in me the problems they were having in their marriage. And then they followed that up with an updated status picture of the four-person-happy-family. The one where it looks like everyone is in love with each other, and where no one is neglected or lonely or certifiably insane. Ironically, I have several friends going through this, and yet, you'd never know it from the beautiful lives they seem to have.
Another friend is going through an earth-shattering financial crisis. And another through divorce. One suspects her husband is cheating. One has problems with her children. (Don't we all?) But you'd never know it based on the profiles they have. It begs the question, "why?". Why do we put up that curtain of happiness, whilst closets full of skeletons are hiding just beyond?
Is it because on Facebook, we have so many "levels" of friends? There are acquaintances, friends,
