There’s so much happening in the world right now and although it would save us a lot of stress and paranoia not to care, I believe it’s necessary to talk about it. I’m starting this weekly segment coz I believe it’s important for these headlines to be part of our daily discussions. We shouldn’t veer from it because it’s touchy<\/i> or it doesn’t concern me since I’m miles away. We need to make it normal to react to current events.<\/u> It should be the rule and not the exception. I mean think of it, our news feed is abuzz with what who’s who is eating\/wearing\/doing and even if we get annoyed and call them overshare, we still look at it. Whereas when it comes to actual news, we just scroll through it. I’m not saying we should stop altogether posting about ourselves and sharing moments of our lives (hey, I have a blog, haha), I just think that maybe we should also use the same platform to expand the conversation.<\/p>\n
So you might be wondering what makes me an expert to write this.. The answer is, I’m not. I’m not offering critical analysis but merely reflections and observations from an average everyday normal person. Like I said earlier, I want to discuss these with you. It’s important to have an opinion, but it is essential you form it wisely. The only way you’re gonna arrive at that is if you consider alternatives and get as much information as you can. This is why talking it out helps, you get to vet your arguments and help you formulate your personal views. So, shall we?<\/p>\n

Like I said, I am merely starting a conversation with you guys. Feel free to share your thoughts, feelings, and opinions even if it disagrees with mine. I would also love to read articles and links that has moved and helped mold your views.<\/p>\n
