Mamasapano revives lost art of letter writing

It’s worthwhile to note that the Mamasapano incident/massacre, besides stirring sympathy for the victims and their families, has also revived the fading art of letter writing on public issues in this country.

In the Age of the Internet, I fear that people don’t care much anymore about writing good, strong letters about public affairs. As the new technology has made it easier for us to communicate more quickly our thoughts and feelings, it has also made many lazy. On social media, there are countless and avid correspondents, but sadly they don’t write well or think very much. They just vent their anger and prejudices.
