social media & opinion

I tend to go on and off social media and I have never given it much thought why... I suspect there is a reason, must be.
Last couple of days I have randomly scrolling media (social and otherwise)... and something struck me, everyone has an opinion and everyone wants to say something talk about something. I always thought to have an opinion you have to be well read, understand the subject matter, understand the audience, understand situation and even understand opposing point of views. Opinion was expressing yourself in context of what you know about and be ready to change it as more information comes your way. But it isn't the case anymore it seems everyone "wants" to have a opinion as soon as the first piece of information comes our way. The word opinion has become almost same as random thought with no or almost no knowledge.

Opinion, leadership and confidence were meant to have depth... and come from a genuine place of knowledge.
The world could do with little less opinion and a lot more living by example.

random thought

To discover oneself is as important as anything else in life and so is to accept oneself. 

फिर से वक्त भरना है,
उन पतली गलियों से गुज़रना है,
कुछ टूटी आदतें जोड़नी हैं,
फिर से नई धुन गुगु गुनानी है,
कुछ नए सवाल सुलझाने है,
कुछ पुराने खयाल भुलाने है,
फिर से वक्त भारना है। 

काश जो होता है, वो ना होता

ज़िन्दगी मुस्कराती है 
जाने फिर क्यों आँख भर आती है। 
छोटा सा आचल, थोड़े से सपने,
जाने फिर क्यों राहें भटक जाती है। 

ज़िन्दगी कुछ समझाना चाहती है ,
जाने क्या सीखना चाहती है। 

झुकी हुई नज़र में सपने है या आसू
