You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?
That’s depends on who breaks the news. Being naturally very cautious, I’d always seek clarification first before sharing it with my nearest and dearest. There is nothing worse than building someone’s hopes up and then knocking them back down like a lane of bowling skittles.
Fact checking always comes first.
Did your parents ever say, “ If it seems too good to be true, then it probably is?”
That ties in with what is written in the first paragraph.
Just like you protect yourself from all that’s bad, and always try to avoid trouble, it’s as plain as night and day that trouble will find you and affect you at some point in your life. And sometimes those occasions come in the shape of good news as misinformation.
You are not now protecting yourself, but all that you love in your life, your family, your friends. Well, it is in my case.
So to cut a long story short.
Fact check, get it confirmed. Check that the news is for you to give. Tell your loved ones. Spread the news far and wide.
And then bloody celebrate like it’s your last day on this earth.
Peace.
