Are we losing our humanity for content?
This came on my newsfeed this morning Walmart is not ripping me off
A lot of people have done a lot of foolish things to get views, and views translate to money and fame I presume, because the content has gotten weirder and less sensible.
Death has also been the result of daredevil selfies, such as this. My condolences to the family of the departed, my heart goes out to them. I wish we could be more vigilant and take a more calculated risk for socmed-worthy photo ops.
Professionally, there are those who need to think twice or thrice before posting about his/ her wards. Children are to be protected and not shamed this way.
My message to my children: at your very core, please please please be a good person.
Call me a 'makcik' all you want, but to me selling our soul or humanity or forgetting our civic-mindedness in pursuit of views is not cool.
