You can never go home again ever

Once you step foot into the world you no longer have a home. Not because, you're not welcomed but, because what you make of yourself and your life will never live to the expectations of your family. You might be the best doctor in the world but, if that's not what your family wanted for you, you still haven't accomplished anything that they will value. Your accomplishments determine your place at "home" and if you don't accomplish the right things you don't have a "home". Homes only exist if you're young and still relying on your parents for guidance. So when you step foot out of college with  a degree in something other then what your family wanted remember, "you can never go home again, ever."

You can never go home again-ever

Well I have to disagree with the prompt that you can never go home again –ever, because I believe that you can go home any time you want whether physical or mental but you can go home again. I think that home is not the same everyday especially in a country like U.S  where you wake up and you do the same thing you did the day before , is a circle that never end but in really there is no feeling that can be compare to the one  when you get home .

Facebook serves our egos.


The quote holds truth because social networking sites have to tap in and appeal in some manner. The seven deadly sins are the perfect leeway because their temptations are hard to resist for people. I don’t know much about Zynga or LinkedIn, but I do agree that Facebook allows people to be egotistical. I think we’re in a day and age where proof matters. You can boast about your seven Ferraris, but no one will believe you if you can’t prove it with a photograph. Where else do you post these pictures? Facebook. And even as proof matters, having some humility matters, too, so it’s hard for us to brag face to face. Facebook serves as the perfect platform to post pictures of our seven cars because it’s the whole point of Facebook. We’ve attached a norm to social networking sites, especially Facebook. The norm being that we post about our accomplishments because we want “distant relatives” to know what’s going on. The truth is we could easily pick up the phone and give them a call, but a part of us wants our Facebook friends to know what we’ve accomplished so we use the site as a platform to brag without really bragging.
