You always have a choice

Hiding behind the veil of anonymity allows some people to spew hatred, intolerance, and everything else that fall into this category. Social media giants need to understand the mental health implications that have been created by not adhering to their community standards.

Hate for profit is the worst crime that can be afflicted on humanity.

It is no wonder that what was intended to connect humanity in all corners of the globe has now disengaged people with hatred, disrespect and intolerance.

“The future belongs to brands that do more than play lip service to real dialogue and recognize that their customers want them to believe in something.” — James Murdoch

“Cyber bullying is bullying. Hiding behind a pretty screen doesn’t make it any less hateful.” – https://onlinesense.org/bullying-quotes/

When you choose love over hate, faith over despair and acceptance over intolerance, you are doing your part to change the world.

This is a 21st Century phenomenon that is progressively picking up steam especially in these unprecedented times.

Cyber bullying, racism, harassment online and offline today is rampant. No one is immune as it preys on all regardless of age, race, sex, wealth, fame, and the list goes on and on.

Hiding behind the veil of anonymity allows some people to spew hatred, intolerance, and everything else that fall into this category.

Some of these people are angry but now their anger has transformed into an ugly beast called hatred.

Anonymity to them is incredible power that they have never experienced before in their life.

Moreover, self-image and self-worth is their true quest for self-actualization.

However, many are actually decent human beings with families and jobs but somehow got caught up in online mobs that are no different than street mobs anywhere on the planet.

One or two individuals can cause havoc when they believe that their mission in life is to defame, slander, intimidate, and persecute individuals.

Their agenda is very transparent.

The common denominator is hate!

In most cases, they spew without performing their due diligence regarding the facts as their ongoing dialogue inspires more hatred based on conjecture.

Unfortunately, hiding behind their device is detrimental to their mental health.

As a result, anonymity creates an inauthentic self that cannot grow and ultimately deteriorates towards despair and despondency.

Who are these people?

They might be your neighbors next door, people across the street, others in your city, in another province or state or across the globe.

Most often as a result of intensive forensic investigation their real identities, location and workplaces are revealed. Corporations have paid huge dollars to forensic investigators and litigators in order to bring these people to justice.

The legal system no longer takes this societal issue lightly.

Some victims of the bullying and harassment have opted to publish similar vindictive group or individual pages that exposes the actual name(s) and pictures of the perpetrator(s) and their workplace locations.

What can you do?

What’s the cost?

Ultimately, hate begets hate and the cost is undeniably huge, emotionally, spiritually, and physically for these perpetrators and everyone that is affected.

Hate creates imbalance.

What’s the real solution to this social media pandemic and hate for profit scenario?

So, stop feeding them and kill them with kindness.

Forgive them.

Release them to their highest good of HSPP (happiness, success, prosperity and peace of mind).

Love always begets love, respect, tolerance, diversity, inclusion, and equality.

Love creates balance.

This might be a hard pill to swallow for some however doing this releases toxicity from your psychological house.

Begin right now and do not even spend one more microsecond of your precious time, any longer contemplating their toxicity.

Be mentally tough.

Determination, openness, understanding, compassion, and purpose will be your mental toughness armor.

“If people can learn to hate they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” — Nelson Mandela

Hopefully, the advent of this current pandemic will cause people everywhere to appreciate that we are all interdependent.

The only enemy that can bring people together as it has at this juncture is this pandemic.

When this pandemic has run its course, hopefully more people on the planet will choose love over hate.

Finally, the greatest weapon in the universe is to extend love and compassion and pray for these people.

As more people worldwide embrace love over hate, attitudes shift towards equality for all regardless of race, color, religion, creed or any other societal descriptors."

Kahlil Gibran said, “Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.”

The significance and profound meaning of these words is timeless.

The human body cannot sustain a vibration of hate for long as remaining in this zone creates havoc psychologically, physically and emotionally.

Hate begets hate, plain and simple.

However, there is hope.

Tough, unprecedented times create a better version of you. Embrace it and it will embrace you with gifts that words could never express.

The polar opposite of the vortex of negativity and despair is inspiration.

A spiritual edge provides people with this armor of inspiration.

This spiritual edge provides them with the freedom that is the innate quest of all human beings that breathe and live passionately not only through their words but their action.

Everyone is engaged in his or her own metamorphosis similar to a butterfly.

However, this life cycle is different for everyone.

No one ever arrives as we are always growing and learning.

These people are inspired beyond the usual parameters of human inspiration.

Their inspiration is embedded into their DNA.

Let’s face it.

Anyone can keep going when the going is great.

However, to keep going when the evidence is not visible with your physical eyes requires faith.

Fearless Actions In Trust and Humility!

It requires an inner eye of understanding that transcends everything else.

This is the beauty of the moment.

Don’t believe that you are not equipped to embrace life with expectation and gratitude because the best is yet to come for you.

What if and when I?

Tell them to hit the road as these questions don’t belong to you.

This is your year and you’re going to make it the best year yet.

“It ain’t over till it’s over.” - Yogi Berra

The best is yet to come.

Hallelujah!

Onward and Godward.
