Despite the noise and chaos, social media can be serendipitous sometimes.

I rarely read or watch about politics on social media. It is a topic foreign to me. In this story, I want to share my unusual experience on social media today.

As fitness and art are my strong interests topics, I have an affinity with Dwayne Johnson. I follow his fitness and art contributions to social media platforms. His experience and wisdom are inspiring to me.

As a follower of Dwayne on Twitter, I received a tweet from him today. It has already gained 10.4M views on Twitter. The video he attached to his tweet captivated me. Within a few seconds, I got hooked on the video and continued watching it.

Watching a video about politics was surprising to my emotional brain, but my open mind motivated me to finish the video. I am glad I did.

As a caveat, I know very little about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Politics is a domain I have little interest in. I’ve limited knowledge and no stakes in American politics. I do even struggle to understand the politics of my country. However, I want to learn more about Joe and Kamala after watching this insightful video by Dwayne.

Therefore, I refrain from endorsing any politician or political views. This post is not an endorsement of the politics of these actors in the video I mention. It is about the iteration of a couple of personal and professional viewpoints.

Leaving politics aside, what both Joe and Kamala said about “truth over facts” resonated well with me. Wearing multiple hats, such as a parent, a leader, and an educator, I know that trusting relationships in personal and interpersonal communications require speaking of truth.

I deal with facts in my profession, especially in structured and unstructured data formats. Witnessing the manipulation of facts has disappointed me on multiple occasions. However, I have not experienced manipulation of truth as yet. Truth is a universal phenomenon.

The main problem with truth is the risk of speaking of it. It can pose life implications in some cultures and countries.

As Kamala mentions in this video, many of us don’t speak the truth for several reasons, e.g. truth sometimes may hurt. I agree with this insightful statement, as it is evident in many cultures and well-documented in the body of knowledge.

Joe mentions that we all make mistakes. None of us is perfect. What I particularly like about Joe’s message is taking personal responsibility for our errors. This point is big for me as it constitutes a critical life principle.

Taking full responsibility in my decisions and actions yielded the optimal results in my achievements, even they sometimes hurt me. I discussed this critical topic wearing my inventor hat.

I am glad to have opened this tweet and watched this five-minute captivating clip. This short video with three popular actors not only inspired me but also validated my beliefs on “truth over facts”. I am grateful to social media for offering serendipitous encounters when we have an open mind.

My only point for politics is that “truth over facts” can be a winning argument.

Here is the first political video clip that I unusually watched and got inspired.

Thank you for reading and watching.
