Un-Booked and Un-Hooked



I deactivated a part of me yesterday, a part of me which had assiduously and covertly become an important piece of my Life Mosaic. I deactivated my Facebook profile for no better reason than because I felt like it. The obvious fact is that while suicide in the ‘real world’ may require the coming together of deliberation, courage, hopelessness, all on a level which is uncommon and rarely achieved, E-suicide requires nothing more than the germination of a thought and the pressing of a few keys. Therefore, much simpler and much less messy. Added to this, the thought that a part of you has now become internet-debris and will now be floating through cyber space eternally, is somehow a really attractive and gratifying one. It makes one believe that immortality is possible, at least in whatever distorted and warped way that these technologically-driven times may allow. The only downside with this, as I am now discovering, is that the fingers retain a tactile memory of an urge...to aimless type drivel and to pointless wander over the vast expanse of the mouse pad. To satisfy that urge to an extent, I have now returned to this orphan Blog of mine, which had been abandoned in pursuit of more immediate delights. So maybe, this E-suicide business has a positive ending after all!
