Just Forwarding

 I came across a video message through WhatsApp. I was too busy to attend it. After two days at about 10.40 pm I got the golden opportunity to visit or watch the message. It was something about two communities of our society. I watched it and tried to understand. However, I failed to watch it completely for the first time. It was interesting, however by working between words and sounds I could decipher that the intention behind creating the video was full of partiality. 

I thought why people forwarded such messages. Did they watch the video up to the end before forwarding. Most of the time, I think, people forward a message if they like a part of it. Did they think what impact could be on the person to whom he forwarded a message? Did they think what concept the receiver would make for the sender?

The video contained a hate speech which may put an awkward situation for people of two communities if they were watching the video together. I enjoy good relations with people of both the communities. Though the video was informative, I failed to appreciate its forwarding. I searched some of the aspects which were highlighted in the video on google and got further enlightened. However I never felt an urge to forward the video. 

I am unable to preach anyone as regards to what to forward. However it pains me that what is forwarded to me sometimes does not suits to my taste and so distorts my taste. 

What to do? Will people give a deep thinking once before just forwarding?
