Facebooking

Dear........,
When I started using Facebook about 11 years ago, I was the only user in my family. At the present, the number of members of our joint family is 12, including my father, mother, brothers, sisters-in-law, and children. As far as I know, there are 9 Facebook accounts in my family. We are all well connected to one another. Everyone gets to see each other’s Facebook posts. This may be the case not only for our family, but also for many families in Bangladesh as well as world. And it’s not limited to family: Because of Facebook, we are now connected with people all around us: our elders, relatives, teachers, students, friends, younger and older brothers and sisters, neighbors, and thousands of known and unknown people. I know of such a person, I have never seen him, but I have been following him all my life after seeing one of his good posts. Facebook is the mirror of the mind. So my humble request to everyone is that, if you use Facebook, please use more elegant language in writing. I know that there are a lot of things going on with this coronavirus crisis; many people are losing a lot that may not be possible to recover. Even so, it is wise to move forward with a cool head.
Thank you.
