When we get to watch movies that tackle natural disasters and other crisis situations, we get to rant about certain characters on the film for doing reckless, deceitful actions that jeopardize the welfare and survival of their group. You can most probably recall the type. These characters receive the brunt of our critical blows because we believe that what they’re doing is against what is logically right and, ultimately, ends up dreadfully wrong. When life now imitates art, it will be to the best interest of everyone to assess if our individual actions will not be perceived as something that could endanger the lives that are close to us and to everyone. Let’s all be safe and, if possible, act as a strong, cohesive unit during these perilous and troubled times. Lest we forget, the fight is not amongst ourselves now. It is most certainly not against each other’s standpoint. Now is the moment when discipline, order, and cooperation from all of us is absolutely necessary to contain and defeat this common viral enemy.

MUM's d'WORD - Mon's Unworldly Musings 
Living life today in chaos

This is basically how to start a new religion at a microcosmic level: isang tao need ng ilang followers (subscribers) then panay “preach” sa social media (vast reach) to spread whatever info, whether truths or lies, as long as they have fervent believers backing them up. Kaya nagkakaroon ng giyera kasi lalo nagkakawatak-watak ang mga tao. Kaya parang minsan talaga may point si John Lennon to include “and no religion, too” in his lyrics to ‘Imagine.’
The world started out as one giant continent but cannot be kept whole, and that’s also probably the reason why the countries and its peoples are divided even more now than when it started out ages ago. Social media has connected us closer just to divide us farther apart because it’s rife with self-proclaimed, self-righteous preachers, fake account page trolls, and people who just want to watch the world burn because they’ve got nothing better to do today.
“Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace…”
