Is it true?(DW#17)
It would seem to be an obvious statement that in order to live our best selves, we must speak the truth.
Yet, with the advent of WhatsApp, how many of us take a moment to check the veracity of something we are forwarding?
Anything that comes from our mouth, our email or our desk is part of the conversation that we contribute to this world.
Moreover, whatever conversation emanates from our mouths, our computers and our devices has the potential to build our credibility or to damage it.
This is why it is so important to take a moment to verify whatever message you are about to spread.
The ease of pressing the send button makes it imperative that we are intentional about taking a moment before hitting send.
Let us not a be part of the vicious cycle that continues to spread false information. Let us pause for a second, do a quick verification before hitting send.
It is not that difficult. Here are a few questions to help:
- Does it make sense? Does it even sound like it might be true?
- If someone told you this in person would you believe it?
- Would you be okay telling this to your boss or supervisor and not have them think you are crazy?
