Social media has already been a trend even before pandemic. But I felt like it reached it's ultimate glory during the pandemic. When everything shutdown because of the COVID virus spread, social media was the only one shining brightest back then, of course, apart from anything related to medicine.
It's the new normal now, a vessel of information. But back in time when you can only get information from that little box called Television, now, apart from acquiring information is also the inclusion of opinions also known as comments.
And I think this is what has made it completely toxic. And why the mental state of people are declining at the era of information age. Information is good, but with the addition of opinions especially from those with lack of full understanding, it becomes a poison.
There are days when comments are good if it is balanced with humor. But when it is full of negativities, it can be a weapon of crime that leads to death through suicide.
I've been watching or listening to some crime stories that I come across YouTube or TikTok because I have always been curios of Forensic Science but also, another reason is that I find interest in the motives of the offender. And you would not believe that I find connection in the words we speak over people around us over these heinous crimes that have been committed all around the world.
I've always been a believe in the power of words. This is one of the most neglected truth in this world that we live in. That everything happens at the power of your words. It is in the bible, in witchcraft and many evil forms.
It is in your daily life, what you speak and say every single second of your life. This is the most neglected power that each and every person has.
Recently, I was in a relationship with a man with a broken past. He was so broken that it was in his mind and body and is suffering some medical conditions. And I believe in the power of words and know of how it can create a raging sea or calm a storm. Having known of these, made me very careful of the words I say to him. My partner can be mentally tortured by words. But even in times he make mistakes, I never spoke words that would destroy him to his bones. And he returns my kindness by saying that I have helped him to become stable and his life. I could have cursed him and say words that are what people say true. But it will crush him and its not about me keeping him, but its all about building him from a state of crash which people like friends, ex-partners and even his own family has bestowed on him.
If I would put a law right now, I will put a law that will protect people from receiving words that causes them mental torture. Today, murders doesn't only happen by weapon of knives and guns but by the tongue. Some people are already dead even before you have killed their bodies because you have already killed them in their minds.
