Here’s an American Indian proverb.

Listen or thy tongue will keep thee deaf.

This describes social media, right?

The people who are spouting stuff aren't listening, are they? They're just saying what they think versus doing research and understanding what other people are saying.

I found this in the dating world.

I recently went on the Facebook dating app just to play with it. I've never been on a dating app before. And the number of women who say anybody who voted for Trump or likes Trump or anything like that, just keep swiping.

And I'm thinking to myself, yeah, I probably will.

Not because I care about Trump or not, but if they're so wrapped up in their world, thinking that a person can be so evil when there's always good in everybody, they're probably not the person for me anyway.

So, what do you think?
