Give it a try! Fishing for lost souls and sniping at sheepdogs is fine sport and a praiseworthy pastime. Pro tip: abandon ego and you can have as many lives as you want.

Nah, I absolutely never will. Part of my job is actually documenting both the gross and subtle damages social media usage does to mental health.

I did less harm to my lifetime health when I smoked cigarettes.

I can respect that. I never touched the stuff myself, until the war came to my door. I use a lot of PPE, of course.

You are not on social media? If you are a seeker, you must join Telegram, read some birds - you don't have to open account to read them - ; and share important reads with people. In short, be informed and informing.

Nope, no thanks. It's precisely this weird cult-like pressure that affirms my decision every single time.

"Must" is a strong word.

True. At the highest level, "must" does not and should not exist because we have the free will to choose.

When seeking information, ideally we wish to restrict our searches to certain sources, for want of time. If our sources are mainly located in one place, then it is a "must" to visit that place. That is why the bird and Telegram are my "must" sources.
