One (wise) politician was credited to have said this: “we find comfort among those who agree with us (despite holding other opinions privately, I'll add) - growth among those who don't."
Well, this is true everywhere but in this "New Gambia" on social media that apparently has a thing for sensationalism, where dissent is like 'waameh' (seasonal), and often at the expense of accuracy, because almost everyone's a genius of enlightenment, and so almost everyone's so emotionally attached to their ideas that all news feeds be cramping with [it's a Monday morning and I don't want to sound rude].
Instead, according to me that is, there's very little to no growth but more confusion from our differences in opinions on. What we call review or feedback is often intentionally controversial as to repel every piece of fact that'd otherwise get in the way of the juiciness of the story we want to sell.
So, it isn't uncommon you see a thing so badly reviewed and the performers demonised and vilified one minute, and the next minute, the same thing is full of praise, the same doers dignified by the same set of reviewers like, uh, so it wasn't all bad after all... or is it because our appetites, approvals, and ratings depend on partakings, hence shifty... eh?
