Social media can ignite and excite our lives. Our day-to-day and face-to-face have changed so much with the invention and use of the smartphone. You're out with friends, having a great time, and there's always that friend (or two) who feel the need to document everything for their account. Some people are addicted to the rush of likes and comments, and it's not a fake feeling. There's a tangible dopamine rush with every 'oooh' and 'awww' at our lives through photos. And hey, there's nothing wrong with that. But where is the line that it's gone too far?
Maybe it's when your connection and compassion for human beings is overridden by the need for superficial approval. When 'likes' trump family relations then we think it's gone too far. Take for instance the couple who wanted their nieces to be flower girls at their wedding. The catch – it's a 'no kids allowed' policy and their purpose is for photos only. As one Redditor so eloquently puts it, 'It'd be cheaper to hire child models.' Let's all laugh at the outrageous actions of others.
