Is this for real?
There was something about the photo from Ukraine on my social media feed that didn’t seem quite right. It inspired feelings of courage and made my heart swell. But in my head a little question mark hovered over it; I wasn’t convinced it was real.
A few minutes of sleuthing later (Thanks, reverse image search!) and it was clear that my intuition had been right. The photo was legit, but the way it was labeled was false. It was a photo from the past that had been marked as though it were from the present. “Classic misinformation,” someone posted after the truth was exposed.
You don’t have to be a spiritual thinker to be alert to misinformation, but this brief experience highlights how spirituality equips us in a powerful way to be warriors for the truth.
