RE: In A World Of Mad Trolls, Choose To Be The Person They'd Love To Be

in #lovefriday7 years ago

On the internet, you can be anything that you want. It's strange that so many people choose to be stupid.

Yes, this!

It has never ceased to amaze me the kind of behavior and immaturity that comes out when you're on the net.

It's interesting how if you remove the accountability that comes from direct interaction that people immediately show you their true selves. It's one of the many interesting revelations that the internet unintentionally exposed.

Our actions need to be consistent with our value system

I completely agree, and I think the net is a true mirror for that. It's something we've never really had as a species. There's always been the smoke and mirrors of society where people can get away with portraying something they may not be, but the internet has this amazing away of stripping all that away.

We really do get to see people's true value system. It's both a blessing and a curse. Unfortunately, we have to deal with the trolls but on the plus side we also get to reap the rewards of finding amazing people that bring value to our lives as well.

Great post!

Thanks for your great statement, @raised2b! I'm happy you found your way to my blog again and some time to leave a comment, too :-)

There is this saying that his bark is worse than his bite. I bet that applies to many of these people. Meet them online and they're insane. Meet them in person and they're incredibly uninteresting.

Unfortunately, we have to deal with the trolls but on the plus side we also get to reap the rewards of finding amazing people that bring value to our lives as well.

I couldn't have said it any better. As I mentioned in the beginning of my article, the positive experiences definitely outweigh the negative ones. So overall it's a win!

Again, thanks for your valuable thoughts, they're much appreciated!
Enjoy your weekend :-)

Hope you have a wonderful weekend as well! Looking forward to your next share :)
