Difference of Opinions Were Once Productive, Not Anymore!

There was a time when debates were considered productive, a difference of opinion gave birth to new ideas not create hatred. A time when people appreciated disagreement keeping aside their ego and pride. People were continuous learners and good listeners. They weren’t full of themselves or afraid of failures. They were patient.

These days, when you disagree on any topic, you’ll be shunned, hated and remembered for the rest of your life as someone who didn’t ‘like’ that person. Now, it’s just a game of ‘likes’, no matter how fake they are, people just want to consume ‘likes’.

If people don’t criticize or correct you. You should be worried

Peace!
