On burning and dividing issues in society
Sexual education in schools is a „hot” issue in society, currently. There are some which agree to sexual education in schools, and there are some which don’t approve this.
Another topic is homosexuality.
I want to have a look at these two issues, based on a previous article – Paradoxuri și încadrări în ortodoxie.
On „Pitch Perfect” (2012)
I’ve seen „Pitch Perfect” (2012), and I want to share my impressions with you.
Classical music, classical movies
Not a long time ago, although I listened to a lot of classical music, I didn’t like it. I forced myself into liking it.
Now, I kind of like it.
About movies – there were movies which, some time ago, I would grade with a low grade, which now I like a lot.
Also, I tend to like most of the things I read / watch / listen to.
Sure, this doesn’t mean I grade each movie with a 10/10, that’s quite the opposite of how I do things.
But I do like more movies even more. I like more movies I watch, I like more of the music I listen to, and so on.
Things change. I’m happy for this.

Liking someone on Facebook
From time to time, I get an invite to „Like (as in approve) X page on Facebook, as you were invited by Y friend, who manages X page”.
And, in almost all contexts, I ignore the invite.
The thing is, Facebook has this way of making it personal. If I don’t click the „Like” button of a page, do I mean I dislike it?
What am I supposed to do, go like-ing everything I really like in real life? It’s absurd, and Facebook pretty much abuses the word „Like”. If I don’t click „Like” on a friend’s page, does this mean I don’t agree with their idea?
Also, on a practical level, just liking a page is not enough.
I’m invited by friends who just joined politics to like their involvement in running for a small town somewhere in Romania. But if I click „like” and then unfollow the page, I think it will do my friends more harm than good. If you have 10,000 people who said they like your page, but you don’t get their engagement (likes, shares, comments), it can do more harm than good.
In a lot of cases, though, it’s also a case of a poor choice of inviting who to like your page. Yes, I like a lot people as friends, I support their actions, but what would my role be in helping them succeed in running for mayor in a small town where most likely I never been or never will be, or supporting a business I have no relation with, and so on? People just randomly invite friends from their list to increase their numbers.
I don’t mind it all that much, it’s just that I don’t see the purpose of this.
