Recently on facebook I've seen several different photos of a seriously ill grandmother, starving children, children with cancer and so on. All of these photo's have a heading of " Like if you're against cancer" or "like if you want my grandma to live!"... and my all time favourite " Like if you care about this starving child"
of course people care!
Personally I refuse to like any of them as I think it's sick. Sick and wrong.
The majority of the photos are either disturbing or upsetting. Liking a photo of a skeletal child isn't going to help. If you really want to make a difference, then donate to a charity, raise money or even sponsor a child!
These people posting the photo's don't care about the issue, or care that you may possibly care, they just know people want to come across as nice and will like their photo.
I mean what would you rather do? Sit and watch as you "popularity" goes up? Or actually attempt to do something about the issues you've raised, and of course care so much about.
Why someone would want to post a picture of their gran, or any family member on their deathbed on facebooks for likes I don't know. Nature will run it's course, what's meant to be will be, trust me if stuff like that could save people, I'd have sent a photo of my grandma around the world and back.
Grow up and get real.
