Odd behaviour of some persons-- behaviour of utter instability verging on decadence-- can cause untold misery for the fairly normal and matter-of-fact and simple human beings who are destined to be at the receiving end..
It is really unsafe to have any transaction, or even exchange of pleasantries, leave alone friendship, with such people..
They are not madcaps.
We can pity them if they are..
Many of them are megalomaniacs who think and expect that people will flock after them and that whatever they do, the duty of others is to sing their praises,
According their strange logic,if we are to be friends with such great cracks, is to like all they do and put up with their tantrums..
After all we come to social media to have a sort of virtual friendship and in real life we cherish good friendsips , and I have to confess that I am yet to find a great scholar, great scientst, on even a great human being who is worth my hero worship in digital media
If I wanated to praise a philosopher or politician or scientist,
I have many in the world from the past and the present..
Einstein, Socrates, Radhakrishnan, Russel, Churchill, Gandhiji, Panditji, Modiji, Atalji and so on'.
I do not find them behaving like idiots in social media.
..
If I tolerated the tantrums of some till now , it was only for friendship and out of politeness.. and just as in the case of marriages, friendship too is not possible with lunatics and megalomaniacs.
Good gestures of care and concern are mistaken by such arrogant persons as recieving tributes for their exalted existence..
