This is where the disaster began… People displayed their lives on social media like hanging their underwear on a clothesline and rejoiced in the game of “opinion and counter-opinion.” So They voiced their opinions and cursed those with opposing views. Their egos inflated, and each one of them became, in their own mind, a scholar, a jurist, a writer, a politician, an economist, or even a football coach. Meanwhile, millions, in their eyes, became like cattle, or perhaps even more misguided.
The question here is: why do people accept such intrusions into their personal lives from others? And why isn’t their response always the magical and powerful one: “What’s it to you?”
