Trust is such a beautiful feeling and it shouldn't be limited to seeing physical friendship only. It's unfortunate that some bad people take advantage of somebody's trust and then good people are blamed why they trusted them. But we will find good and bad people everywhere and mistakes happen, isn't it? We need to encourage good behaviour for trust to flourish. I am getting too philosophical and I can put it on the recent Internet safety and concerns sessions I attended. 😆
I also appreciated that the person on Twitter was bold and socially responsible to share it publicly for others to be cautious. Kudos to her.👍🏼
Coming to BB, I am not making any commitments for now. I wasn't a regular BB watcher so forget visiting IF. It was only BB13 for my curiosity around sidnaaz and others perspective on them that I came here. 😆And boom, the addiction. As I am still struggling hard with detoxing of that one, I am very worried for the next one. Hope I can win the war against myself😆. But till then let's enjoy the brief joys that we get from sidnaaz.
I completely agree that we need more good people online and good behavior to flourish for the internet to be a safe space. But I am not too trusting after having had umpteen hits and misses myself and having had to support others through it and also, it’s not worth it. The virtual world doesn’t give 10% as much as the real world in terms of human relationships and its outcomes. So, this can be a distraction, but not home. You get what I mean?
My Sidnaaz addiction has been handled and I don’t see BB repeats at all and if someone sends me something exceptional, I enjoy it. I am always game to rewatch their live on a rainy day, but it’s no longer a need. Same with BB- watching it used to be a priority until now every year. No more after seeing the extent to which contestants and producers manipulate us and I don’t even want to go into details. But anyway, I used to watch MTV’s reality shows for timepass and now with Prince, Colors is being extra smart in trying to hook all crowds. I really hope Sidnaaz will not be on BB. I don’t like my sentiments being exploited to that extent where they continue to maintain the friends game on reality tv again.
