Vampires. Beware!
The development of the Internet allows for the free flow of messages between people and finally we have access to the tools by which we can exchange information almost with the speed of light.
We show a support, we send warm words and positive energy … unfortunately often its the contrary …
Cyberspace is a sphere in which we meet individuals and groups which are difficult to come across in the real world … thankfully! More or less sophisticated logins or real names often hide people full of aggression towards others. Mr. / Mrs. X enter the account of Mr. / Ms Y and mix the person with mud, insults, swears and humiliate.
DO Haters, really dont understand how they are harming other innocent people? For what purpose? Isnt it better to look for the positive aspects of every human being? THINK!
Recently, in the United States there has been a terrible tragedy caused by hate facing teens. Eighteen-year old girl met with criticism and insults from her friends from school. She was bullied by a group of her peers. She was humiliated because of excess weight, and when the attackers noticed that their friend cares about these observations they didnt stop the attacks. Although the family reported the problem in the school and the police no one responded, because attacks on social media were considered harmless. After two years of harassment Brenda could not stand the pressure mentally and shot herself in front of her parents …
This story is proof of how much harm can be done by using words. When someone has good intentions, but meets constant criticism, he/she will discontinue to take any action, in order not to expose herself/himself to ridicule, even though what he did was beautiful and right. Very often insults are directed to a completely random people.
Haters are visiting social networking sites and search for innocent people to make fun of someone to”boost their ego.”
I wonder what this person wants to gain, relieve, heal complexes, or to cover up their failures in life by humiliating others?
You are reading offensive words from the mouth of a person knows nothing about you, and out of curiosity you enter profile of this hater. You are surprise, because you can not believe that someone like this has a family, friends, dog, videos and a smile on his face. Then you wonder whether in daily life this person is also so critical or is he/she so brave only while hidden behind the screen?
A few years ago I was really worried about the things complete strangers are saying. I was trying to explain it, fix it . The worst part was that most of my energy and commitment was absorbed by the criticism from random people, rathen than by warm words of others, that should motivate me to continue working. Very often the aggressor from the Internet made me believe that I should not try, that it is not worth fighting. Well, they failed!
It does not make sense, it is important what we do and who we are helping. Virtual smile from a positively oriented person means more to me than a criticism from thousand people.
Do not waste your energy, surround yourself with people who wish well to others. Good always comes back … and these are not just empty words !!!
If you are reading this and you already arranged the texts in your head to spoil someone’s day, do not bother, Its my good advise.
If you don’t know what to do with excess frustration and energy just wear running shoes and go for a run. You will feel much better:) …
Just dress warmly! 🙂
