Technology nowadays converges all levels of the society to a new venue of norm where the quantity network of an individual becomes a standard source of respect over the quality traits of a person. The reason that "social media influencing" becomes a loud independent profession that emerged in recent time. The more followers, the more attractive a person becomes. This is now the actual social platform who the public most listen to. Those who have bigger followers have bigger names, have bigger influence. These influences set a new standard of social norm. We can agree that some of them barely do not have basic decency which sadly goes through the wire and through the veins of poor headed followers. Do Filipinos embrace this trend well enough? The fun entertainment side, yes they might do. I can however personally see how abrupt it affects the individual mindset in order to catch what's right. I myself get hooked up with social media at some point as every single person seeks attention. Social media is pretty good at providing that. What we miss most of the time is the value of personal connection that we overlook underneath the comfort of high-tech devices on our palms - one of the sad reasons why people tend to care less about proper conduct and selfishly disregard other people's feelings when engaging on the web.

This creates a pet peeve in my mind that I want to campaign the importance of self-training to function decent enough with a fair mindset to be able to deliver our individual's life purpose in a smoother way if not perfect.
In science, there are different aspects attached to a person's being. Every aspect has contributing factors. I want to focus on the internal section where the external aspect just complies orders from the inside. They say, the real beauty of a person lies inside. What I believe is that: It is the mind that works more powerful, heart is just a bonus.
Behind every single law creation is intended to achieve equality. It is the mindset that creates equality because the heart always tends to become bias. You can't be lionhearted if your mind does not tell you first what's safe and what's proper to do.
Yes, it is necessary to train the heart to listen first to its superior - the mind. There is a reason why human brain is positioned above the heart. As well, train the heart to choose the right people in your life. Attraction to fake people giving you attention is easy and can be found everywhere, everytime. Family is something. They know what's good for you. Never ever trade that. Every single thing in this world is temporary, change is constant. One thing that's permanent in my opinion is the family's love for its members, if that changes, it would only be for more love. Even tough, love is still love for families. That's for the heart's training.
Check your description first of family though. Not everyone you're blood related is family. Family is a reciprocating care between members that you can even find outside blood relation.
The mind's main function is to always make sense. Train it not only to see the bigger picture, but to see the clearer picture. Train it to practice self-discipline that you don't hurt anything or anyone by being lazy. Train it not to be too perfectionist coz it's going to be a hard life not only to you but to people around you. Train it to consider others that whatever's not good for you is not good for everyone else. Train it to teach your spirit to only emit happy soulful energy. Train it to totally take control of the heart's impulses. But as well, train it to exercise flexibility as it is sometimes necessary to give the heart a chance to be heard or considered.
If the kind heart dictates not to return the odds to those who are deliberate with their indecorous actions toward you, it is as well the mind's choice to realize what to do to those who take advantage. You can't generally be too soft to that. If it is your role to kick some ass, deliver your life's purpose. I got a hashtag for that - kickass. lol
Every face of society under the age of technology and influence of social media have presence of these untrained characters. You either self-train to armor yourself with proper mindset and right conduct or get kicked in the ass at some point in your life.
