Drama, Drama, Drama

I always hear people complain about how much drama is created by Facebook, blogs, email, and the media. It's constant, someone posts something on Facebook that offends someone else and soon your friends are split in half because everyone takes sides, it's not a pretty sight. So I created a solution...

If you want to cut drama completely out of your life you....

Delete your Facebook account, take down your blog, cancel your email, turn off your phone, throw out the T.V., unhook the landline, shut down internet access and move to a cabin in the woods to grow your own food and never speak to anyone again.

Sounds like a great plan right? Very peaceful, lots of time to communicate with the Lord, enjoy nature and have no one tell you what to do.

Here's the problem, in three days I'd be talking to myself, within the first week I'd be arguing with myself and before the end of the month I'd be creating my own drama with myself!

"Ow I stubbed my toe!"
"Well what'd you do that for?"
"Because it sounded like fun!"
"Well was it?"
"No, it hurt!"
"Then maybe you shouldn't do it anymore."
"Well I didn't try to do it in the first place!"
"Well you don't have to get mad at me about it!"
"Then stop yelling at me!"
"But we're the same person, so aren't we really yelling at ourself?"
"I don't like this anymore, I'm moving back to town."

The fact is that drama comes from people, not the internet or television, you can choose to have people in your life that are less dramatic but as long as you're still talking to people (which by the way God insists that you love people as He does so good luck getting out of that!) there's going to be drama. It's just the way of the world.

All that to say, you don't have to have Facebook or email or anything else, sometimes the people on there do create more drama but it won't stop just because you get rid of those things.
