Facebook Hero

It's so easy to fabricate stories nowadays. You just post a photo of a tortured animal, start dropping names of who knows who, add a heart-wrenching caption, boast of your attempt to save or give justice to the poor animal and VOILA!! Instant Facebook Hero!

And everyone wants to join the bandwagon so badly, too! With comments such as "send that man to me and I'll hang him myself". Oh wow! It's so incredible how one can be so strong with just a keyboard.

"You b*tch! That wasn't a fabricated story!! It was real! May ID nga diba? Tanga!"

Oh, I'm pretty sure half of that is truth and the other half is sh*t.
So there's an ID? Oh, then maybe just an ID is proof that he did it without reason, right?
Just how stupid could someone be and leaves his ID beside of the just tortured animal?

"Whatever! This is real because a case has already been filed!"

Oh, then that's good. Then why do you have to put it on Facebook? For everyone to see? So that you'd be showered with compliments for such a heroic act? Buh-ruh-vo!

To make this short, I'm not taking sides. I'm simply giving the benefit of the doubt that not everything we see on Facebook is EVERYTHING.

There are always two sides of the coin and there are people who would choose to show only one of them. I'm not saying that everything on facebook is fake, but at least try to know the whole story first before coming up to a conclusion, especially that posts nowadays are so one-sided.
