All That Glitters Are Not Gold But Still Glitters-Facebook
This is a story from a Facebook User who wrote on Mark Zuckernberg wall describing her ordeals and experiences during a war that ravaged her country, expressing gratitude to the billionaire, owner of Facebook. Though she didn't state her country and we can't guarantee the authenticity of her story but I felt for her story and my instinct directed me to share her story.
Her name is FAREH HACHEM., Read her story:
I was less than six years old at year 2000 when the war was coming to an
end in my country , me and my family were
seeking protection in a shelter when it got
bombed and I got wounded and took by the Red
Cross to get the necessary treatment but didn’t find
my family again … I lost my memory and didn’t remember anything … I then got adopted by a social institution that takes care of children that lost their family and stayed under their care until the Year 2012 …
Year 2012 was the most important year in my life, it was the year
that I got into face book and joined a group that share the 2000 war events , a group that have many cases
like me . I began to see post and read
comments everyday but didn’t really have any specific intention other than just knowing more about the war the made me lose my family . As I continued to log into face book daily I started to remember things , and memories came to my head so the social institution bought me a doctor to help me... I
saw a post in a group about a mother that lost her girl in that war at the same place that I got wounded , and she was
saying her girls name is “Farah” … which is my name . Sadly my mum was saying in that post
that her girl (me) died in that bomb as any other person in my family . For 12 years they didn’t see
me , sure they’ll think I’m dead .
I told my doctor about this post
and told him
that I have a feeling that this is my mum, he communicated with her at her FACE BOOK account and met her and …. Here
I am today , writing
this while I’m in my bed , in my room , in
my house . The house of my family , the family
that Face Book gathered us together again . I’m Farah Hashem thanking you very much dear Mark . I hope you read this post that I wrote not for me ,
but for people to know the greatness of this social media network that’s
called Face Book . The media always focus on the disadvantages of the face book forgetting it’s big
advantages .
Sir mark , I’m gonna name my first child Mark ! and my family now celebrates the 4th of
January every year in the memory of establishing faceboook ! Some people would mock us for this but no one can feel the way we do except the ones that went through it. Eventually I
know my comment will be between thousands of
other posts on your page and you may not read
it, but writing this and having the chance to
let you know how much I’m thankful for you is better than doing nothing at all
. Mark Zuckerberg , I love you , My family
loves you.
Thank you very much .
