The internet is a wonderful place. There's almost nothing you don't get out there (apart from the feeling of community and fresh air but let's ignore that for now.)
Social media is even better. It let's you stay connected with people you've met for a day, is a platform to share envy worthy photographs and make the rest of the world want your life - often when you yourself want someone else's, but more importantly, it let's you express your own opinion and get majorly influenced by others'.
These days, you find open letters about everything to everyone. Open letters to stop war, open letters to begin war. Open letters by so-called feminists talking about how women are oppressed completely forgetting about equality, open letters to Bollywood big shots to incubate a wave of change because they're influential.
It's ridiculous, really.
The internet exaggerates every issue, big or small. Most people don't think. They just talk about and support whatever they read first. It's understood that art should be supported irrespective of nationality. But it should also be understood that our soldiers were killed and those very artists inhabitant in our country, refused to acknowledge that what happened was wrong. When you live in a country, it doesn't matter against whom it's fighting, or whether you want peace either. You need to be grateful.
I won't talk about much more.
Just don't believe in everything you read or hear. There are so many opinionated people and it's scary because they refuse to even consider their being wrong. You've got tons of people talking about peace, but a lot of people aggressively talking about how we need to take revenge as well.
Don't trust all that you see either. Sometimes social media becomes a nuisance. I recall looking at pictures of so many people having fun, candids (fake ones *cough cough*) and longing for the same, only to realise that when I now have a chance, it doesn't really matter half as much.
Quite funny life is.
