NO literate member of the human species has ever been spared an exclusive membership in the billions of WhatsApp groups that orbit around Planet Earth.
Even the senior members of the tribe would be enrolled in the main and flourishing sub-sects of the clan groups. Waking up to a good morning quote with a bright sunrise or ending the day with a goodnight quote with a teddy bear coaxing you to close your eyes and call it a day has become the universal code for every group's smooth functioning. How the hours in between are tackled and the nature of the topics that are debated depend on the purpose laid out for the formation of the collective in the first place.
