Communicate for a Change

I’m hearing the word ‘misinformation’ quite a lot at the moment.
So is it misinformation or a difference of opinion? So what is ‘information’ and who is deciding or dictating what that information actually is?
Seems to me like it’s one of he muddles of thinking and terminology we can get confused about.
The spirit of Voltaire (not the actual words he ever spoke, as that would be inaccurate) was conveyed by the willingness to defend a citizen’s right to freedom of speech. Are we now at a point where we deny anyone that right? Seems like a dangerous path to tread.
Any thoughts in regard to this?

There is a foretelling, a prophecy even, amongst some indigenous peoples about a sign that will herald peace.
The sign? When the Eagle & the Condor are seen flying together.
These majestic birds of prey will not be keeping their distance, nor competing or fighting for supremacy but rather respecting, acknowledging & appreciating each other’s power.
To me, this image is true on an interpersonal level as well as an international one.
It is in our nature to create personal space boundaries that allow us to keep in comfortably safe connection with each other. These natural social boundaries have been interfered with in recent months.
This interference with the natural order could be why people have either begun to shout loudly (on social media for example), creating polarisation or have retreated and withdrawn into a collapsed, powerless position. Neither of these responses are likely to have us ‘flying together’.
I believe that to listen patiently to others with an attitude of curiosity & respect before making our own ideas & opinions clear are much more likely to create the sort of peace that we truly desire.
What do you think?
