A book and a video to help you be a better person on social media.
Let me direct you to two things that will hopefully make social media a better place for all of us.
The first is a video clip from Comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
She answers people who criticized her for sitting next to former President George W. Bush at an NFL game.
She talked about how we can disagree on many things in politics but still remain kind and friendly to the same people we disagree with.
Many people on social media quickly criticized her for two things. The first was that she would even talk to George W. Bush -- which is ridiculous. The second reason was -- why did she even have to say that -- which is also ridiculous.
Why? Because she was criticized by so many people she felt she had to state what is an obvious fact: we need to allow other people their thoughts and beliefs.
Here’s the second thing I want you to look at. It’s a book called Dying to be Me.
The author is Anita Moorjani.
