Today marks the last day in the precious month of May. Actually it has been an amazing month all through because I have been able to participate in virtually all the engagements except for just one or two but on the average it was a wonderful month experience. From the beginning of the month I made a demand for prayers in my area due to the issue of rainfall which has halted lots of farming activities but God showed us mercy and rained down heavily at the middle of the year however as humans hmmm it's not enough because since then the weather suddenly changed and the hot weather came back again. It made me look as if I am in the month of February because of all these experiences. The significant thing is that I am alive and thriving even in this precious sphere.
As I stumbled on the theme for this edition, my heart bled because I haven't attempted such theme for a while now that made me crack my repertoire. It will interest you to note I had to go on recess just to refresh myself and get back on track. It took me time to be able to figure out something to write on. At least it has boosted my level of knowledge now. It also took me so many minutes before I could picture a topic from the entire body of knowledge and understanding I had.
Cancel culture hmmm before I proceed with other details, I would like to say that to cancel means to abolish, annulled or something that is not longer needed or in used. Cancel means to banish or stop something. To cancel means to mute something, to cancel means to destroy something. To cancel means to erase, clean or completely stop something. While I look at culture as a way of life of an individual or people. Culture entails the Norms, behaviour or what the people do. Joining the two words I could say cancelled culture is to stop or annulled something or people or individual through the social media because of something wrong.
Cancel culture is a process of rejecting or when there is a massive decline of masses from a reputable individual or celebrity who perhaps have wronged the people socially etc. Cancel culture has lots to do to an individual and there are tips I would like to share on how to avoid it. Cancel culture can ruin career or tarnish the image of an individual and it can also improve or make an individual a public figure. Cancel culture was used to resolve differences in wrong behaviour. It was used as a means to correct one on social media now it has turned to online bullying which can completely delete an individual from social media.

How to avoid cancel culture.
- Don't act before you think instead think before you take any decision. Information could fly any how on social media concerning you but don't be in rush to start replying people because it may dent you more. There was a pastor that always like reacting to people's comments anyhow. He was so criticised.
- Avoid unnecessary emotions. I don't easily get moved by most post on social handle because they aren't the true definition of who I am. They may only give a perspective of me that they know but not the original me.
- Another thing to avoid is that be kind, have a forgiving heart. Don't hold too much grudges it could cause more injuries.
In conclusion;
Cancel culture disciplines people who break or trespass on rules by making unpleasant statements. Cancel culture can destroy the long career built within a minute through the social media. Cancel culture could also damage the reputation of an individual even if you might be innocent. For me, I don't like it because I haven't cancelled someone and I don't intend to do such.
