In social media, I mengunfollow some friends who have a new craze in the present era, like to like information in a haphazard manner. Regardless of whether the information shared is true or not, what is clearly the progress of my social media account's homepage is full of unexplained sources of sources. Honestly, it's a very disturbing condition of comfort.
Lately the same thing I do in the number of whatsapp personal. Again, I was forced to block the contact numbers of people who had a passion for sending chain messages to all of their whatapps contacts. Several times I rebuked my friend who apparently sent a chain of hoax messages, searching for the original source for comparison. Then he simply said "this writing I can from my friend posts. I'm just share only ".
But as if already so deeply ingrained that penchant, he does not then reduced his habit. Then, inevitably, the number of whatappsnya including one of the numbers that I block.
In whatapps group too, a friend put me in a group whose contents are none other than the latest copas writings on issues that are being discussed. Joining such a group makes us look like a busy person who is every time hunted for urgent interests. That's because the notification tone in our mobile phone will be more frequent than usual.
But every time we check the incoming notification, then at that time we will also have a chance to lose the mood in maintaining ourselves from healthy thoughts. We will be faced with hateful postings, debates, or various information that remains unclear. Unfortunately, all this information in this present era can easily spread so fast, only with quotas and thumbs.
Often faced with such information, I am reluctant to read any posts that come from other people's share. Every chain message comes in, I no longer read it until it's done. I like experiencing a syndrome to no longer believe in writing any copas there copas here that are shared by others.
I am more interested in reading books, reading the writings of famous figures, whose figure has credibility qualified. Or, read news from mainstream media that already have a name. Quality books, useful writings, good news, can keep us to think healthier. Something that is difficult for us to get from the Copas writings there - copy it here that we get in social media or through chain messages.
Worrying
Really I am worried about people who have a passion to share information here and there without finding out the truth first. Consciously or not they play the bridge hoax itself. Growing up the information that is not clear origin, to then become the consumption of the crowd, at least the people around him.
Do they not understand such a passion has such a widespread and dangerous impact? Just imagine if the shared information in the form of hateful postings and it turns out the post is a hoax. How many other people are then incited to the post and foster the same hatred. And hate fertilizer is nothing but hoax information that continues to be maintained.
So then predictable, horizontal conflicts will be more vulnerable in our society. It just needs a spark ignition, the flame of hatred will cause division among us. Remember, in the name of hatred, people often no longer see each other as human beings. In the name of hatred, we will lose the function of conscience.
Let's Clean Up
I remembered my teacher's message during school. He says, when we share a kindness (science) no matter how small it is to others. As long as the good he does, let alone he can share it with others, the reward for good will continue to flow to us.
But vice versa, when we share is a vice. As long as the ugliness continues over our role in it, the sin of evil will continue to flow to us. In fact, when we are not living in this world anymore.
With regard to it, lest the penchant for sharing information without the process of check & recheck it will eventually become a boomerang for ourselves. What happens if the information we share the information hoax that then harm others. What happens if the post hatred that we continue, in the future lead to contention for the recipient?
Therefore, think carefully before sharing any information. The key is not to be talkative to share all the information received, especially if the information in question is doubtful (no source), better not forwarded to others. It is our effort not to be part of the information hoax bridge.
We never know, how far the impact that can be generated from the information we share. But the technology world is progressing and growing, we should not underestimate the information we share today. Because, something that we share today can quickly spread into public consumption.
