RE: When There Are No Solutions: The Politics Of Navigating Bullshit... (Part ONE)
Great post on reality check. But how to remove or walk away from such situation in digital world. I would like to disappear in such a situation, if everyone else just mind their own business and are not obsessed with micro-observation. If everybody has their own agenda by using social platform for making opinions and criticism without any facts or knowledge and wants to annihilate an individual, than i guess that's it. Everybody is creating chaos.
not everyone is creating chaos. many might be. though really, that's just cuz they don't know any fucking better. humans probably aren't as evolved as we've been led to believe.
the scenario of which you speak (write) is an opportunity.
yes, much conflict arises. and, in conflict lies the opportunity for resolution, increased clarity, and broadened perspectives.
sometimes conflicting viewpoints are good for us as they challenge us to think outside of our boxes. other times, they may present others a chance for their limited beliefs to be challenged so they can see new truths and angles granting them access to a wider range of information needed for their evolution.
it seems there were a few people who got hung up on that "walk away / remove" piece - which was really not at all my intention or meaning. rather, I'd encourage NOT always walking away - but engaging the conflict head-on to resolve the disparity (NOT attempt proving oneself right at the cost of proving the other wrong - except in the context of doing so where it may be of benefit to them for having their bullshit called, which probably would be best done diplomatically and gently in most cases rather than fuelling a war)...
REFRAME. it's not about a back-and-forth debate. but rather tackling the challenges for the benefit of all involved. and sometimes, one who is stubborn about their views might not be at all receptive to seeing differently - BUT by not walking away and continuing to articulate a stance which seeks to bring greater clarity to the situation, onlookers will have their own takeaways, and new standards shall be set for how to deal with such conflicts.
If someone is creating chaos, it could actually be a chicken-shit, immature move to walk away. Why? Because rather than confronting them about it and leading by example as to how one could responsibly deal with conflict, we've selfishly wanted to avoid discomfort rather than provide them the feedback they need to see the faultiness of their approach, so they're just likely to go on creating more chaos for others...
it may have seemed inconvenient and challenged the belief that we're better off "walking away from negative vibes," but it could actually be denying the other an opportunity for growth.
anyways...
Thanks for your point of view. My point was regarding moving on and i am not a liberal. The reality is out there and i am not altering it. But i am not going to let an individual propagate false fact about my work or a particular situation, based on the past or strong arm me.
