So much is always going on on social media platforms and other platforms or even things said in between us, it's quite insane the things I see, hear, and read sometimes. We think we're just sharing harmless opinions or what we believe to be facts, but more often than not it goes far beyond that. Most violence is the end product of many words and opinions that were recklessly expressed.
So do we say and share nothing? Not at all, but I do my best to fact-check things before sharing them, and if I'm in doubt or can't be certain about a subject then it's best not to talk about it at all until some clarity comes.
This goes for all political and social and economical issues we face, and what more evidence we need than what's being passed around regarding the ongoing pandemic and it's affects on us all. Some of the information being shared is certainly more dangerous than the virus itself!
We all need to be more responsible, more aware, and more civilized. Love to all.
