Asian greatness amidst distractions

WHEN we look at social media, we see toxicity everywhere. Our nasty way of talking to each other makes us fight over things big or petty. It seems that people easily fall for distortions and do not want to listen to sensible words and actions. Everyone seems so fixated on themselves that only their truth matters, nothing else. And many times, the anxiety and despair make us want to stop our advocacies when it seems everything will be in vain.

But I believe that the noisy minority bickering endlessly with each other, and the organized machine that emboldens them, are a distraction to the real things that are happening in our society: the real crises, and the real goodness that everyday people do. So far, we rarely see social media toxicity go out into the everyday lives of people outside the cyberworld. Although, we all must work that we do not go that far.
