Facebook is emotionally draining

There's so much hate and bashing on Facebook, that it hurts to scroll the News Feed.

I love my city, and I think that it's best for my mental and emotional health to stay away from reading trolls comments, or people who bash my city for what's it going through.

I infrequently use my FB account these days. I usually spend 3-5 minutes scrolling through the feed before closing it down. Yet on September 3, I actually burned almost 3-5 hours on Facebook, reading updates on the Davao Bombing Incident.

Most of my friends are nurses who are employed at the different hospitals that responded to the disaster. It was inspiring to read their testimonials on how they gave their effort to save the lives of the injured.

.....and it can be emotionally taxing. 

Not that it's a negative thing, but I've known for a long time that I'm a highly sensitive person. I absorb people's emotions. An Empath, for short.

There is so much drama on Facebook right now that it's draining me, so the best option is to abandon it for now.

The Horror Story of the Bombing Incident of Roxas Night Market in Davao City

Our beloved city, "The safest city", The Land of Promise, Davao , has been bombed last night.

This is not the first incident. Way back in 2003, I recall that our old airport was bombed. Thirteen years later, our city has been bombed again.

I was very excited to watch "Train to Busan" today. I yearned for its horror-action packed storyline.

I was not expecting the horror story that greeted me when I scrolled my facebook feed.

It was a horror story that put Train to Busan to shame.

Would you like to know what it is?

It is the hypocrisy and crab-mentality of my fellowmen.

When disaster struck Paris, and Istanbul, some of my fellowmen were all #Prayfor(insert country).

When disaster struck our city, they made a mockery of it.

Karma. It suits you. "Are you really the safest city?" Where is your president now? 

The horror is incomparable that Train to Busan pales it comparison to it.

I have never been more ashamed of my country.
