The ability to share our views on social media has elevated personal opinion above common sense. As a result,

many feel empowered to share what they think without regard to the consequence of doing so.

This perceived ability to speak without thinking is reckless and potentially hurtful to others.

In addition, it doesn’t cross over to creating a beneficial, face-to-face dialog with our peers.

It’s easy to spread hate and “speak” without thinking when you are in front of a computer screen;

translating that same audacity to our face-to-face relationships isn’t wise.

So guard your words both online and in person.

Your relationships will be healthier for it. I’m Mac Hammond, and this is the Winner’s Minute.
