Or trying to indoctrinate us with some parroted (plagiarised) quotation from somewhere…

Then they each took a picture of their plate, showed it to each other, uploaded the picture on Facebook, and were excited about the likes they got.

Then silence again, mouths full, and back to their mobile phones.

Interesting life, isn’t it?

And non-Maltese having a midlife crisis. The silliest show-off posts are usually written by people over 45 trying to prove to their limited world that they’re still with it and having a good time.

“Beautiful inside and out” is unbearable.

Perhaps it is also exhibitionism that is at the root of this behaviour.

There are many people who post this kind of communication, and it’s usually loneliness or boredom derived from the lack of a challenge in life.

For the greater part, these posts I come across come from the Maltese crowd, but not exclusively so.
