There are people whom you would not want to meet ever again. Their very mention stirs unpleasant memories, sour conversations and things gone wrong. If you saw them walking down the road towards you, you would cross over to the other side as quickly as possible. You know the kind I mean, right?
And then you see their smiling face in a friend request on Facebook.
Um... so what does that mean? They wouldn't mind seeing you again, even if virtually? They don't have unpleasant memories? They have been the forgiving and forgetting saints while you have sported the devil's horns all along? Or they are plain curious to know how far you have got in life?
Beats me really.
There are some such smiling faces in my list of friend requests. Why don't I delete them? So that every time I see them, I know who not to have in my life.
