Being Rude

Being Rude

Someone called me rude today for not liking one's post.  Yes, I read it,  admired it but didn't click the thumbs-up icon.  Did that made me rude?
I guess times have changed,  people think & behave a bit differently.  We today are connected to more people than we have at any other time in our life and so I guess  new mannerisms have become the norm. The mannerisms of the cyber society.

Not liking a post or photo uploaded by your friend or senior is rude.

Well I still don't think it that way.  Rude is to keep texting when you are in a group,  rude is to constantly checking your phone for a new message when you are in company,  rude is to pay more attention to cyber friends than real ones,  rude is to give more importance to answering phone diligently while making a person in front wait.

There are multiple other ways of being rude like throwing the candy wrapper out of your car,  honking on a red light,   sneezing open mouth in public places,  urinating on walls and taking a day off from work but not casting one's vote.

Rude is a whole lot of things,  we Indians are generally rude,  but still being not so active on a WhatsApp or Facebook cannot be considered rude.
