MINDHUGS WELLNESS

Just this morning, something interesting happened in one of the social media groups I am in and it got me thinking. Exactly how objective are we in our thoughts and opinions and to what extent are we unwittingly being influenced by popular, expected or even seemingly unpopular opinions that are not necessarily true or even accurate? Sometimes, even in our most ardent quests for truth we end up becoming victims of the single story syndrome. This is what I mean: It has become quite easy and common to use our personal experiences to filter whatever news we hear and use them to declare our opinions as fact.

The world is your stage. Don't hide behind the curtains. Step out and live. Stop existing. Live! PKT #BookAddict
