COMMENT | Mindfulness in face of negative news

COMMENT | Ramadan 2024 has been weird so far and to be honest, all this weirdness doesn’t come from first-hand experiences or encounters - the source of this sense of weirdness is filtered through our consumption of online media - the internet, social media, WhatsApp, etc.

It’s a mediated weirdness - a form of weirdness that defines the postmodern era we live in and the events that have transpired and featured in our national news headlines since the start of Ramadan makes for interesting case studies on how quickly we assume that society and its institutions are crumbling with each news feed we swipe towards.
