I don’t think there’s any
need for context in this one,
Everyone knows what
happened,
Everyone has their own
says,
I know disappointment, and
I know despair,
But there are a few things
that I would like to relay.
But please, if you’re
easily offended, then you really should just ignore this piece,
You will not gain anything
nor lost anything by reading,
So please do not response
with hate on the words I used below.
Words on streets that in
GE13 is a very dirty game,
All words seem to attack
our ruling party, and still so, at least for the next 5 years.
All those so called
evidence are all over in the social media, especially in Face book.
I don’t know if all of my
friend knew about this or not,
But since a long time ago,
I have been calling social media networks like these a “social morgue”.
Why?
Firstly,
People post pictures of
the dead in Face book which completely disregard what little decency even the traditional
media has,
And it shows great
disrespect for the dead, even at their last moments, photos of their dead body
are uploaded into the Internet.
If you know anything about
Internet, you know that anything on the Intraweb does not go away, it stays
there for eternity.
So you’re desecrating the
dead body, for eternity, go you!
Now imagine that dead body is someone you know...
Secondly, social morgue is
also the monument of the social decay.
Quite frankly, I don’t
need to tell you how unhealthy it is,
People update each other
on it, which is all fine and dandy,
Until you see people posting duck faces, pictures of their food (!?), their personal photo, their personal
matters;
What’s wrong with that? See
above.
Thirdly, and unfortunately
not lastly, will be out topic of the day:
People are treating news
feeds on them as the one and only truth.
One simple rule and it
applies to anything in the Internet:
Don't trust every thing in
the social morgue,
The blackout photos when
they’re counting the votes?
They can be posting the
old black out photos for all I care
There's nothing to prove
that, isn't it?
I could be wrong, or I
could be right,
Are there really any ways
to tell?
You believe the words of
your friends no doubt, but what are their sources?
Are they genuinely legit?
While I don't suggest they
are all blatant lies
But we should be more
rational about this, shouldn't we?
But I'm pretty sure, talks
like what I did above will invite cyber vigilante, or I should say, blatant
cyber bullying in the social morgue.
“We weren't there at the
scene,
We can only hear from what
was already heard by others before.
But then, is there really
is no way to tell what all those recounting and the sudden table-turning by BN
was about? “
Thanks to my friend which
still calmly replied me this after our discussion.
If I are to speak honestly
about his question though? I don’t know.
All I can say for the
table turning wild boxes is this:
Take it with a pinch of
salt
We have no way of knowing
Because our system is not
that transparent
It's regrettable but it's
the truth
And no matter how pissed
we're on either party or their leaders,
We can't assume they're
only cheating their way up
There must be some points
that enable them to keep winning
So maybe instead of
bombarding them for everything they did or said,
We should look at what we
should do to mimic that success
And eventually took that
success from them
That's the game of war,
Weeping and screaming
unjust will not help us move on,
But learning from this
backlash,
All of us, all parties
involved, might actually learn something from it.
We might improve together,
why should it be impossible?
We can all learn something
from it.
