Example 1:
When one feels anger and frustration because the head of states is making decisions that are against one’s own life principles…
How should one react?
Option 1: Vent the frustration on Facebook, by calling him/her “names” and posting derogatory messages that will vilify the individual. Find a photograph with an attached statement that may or may not relate to the picture and could also be a lie. It may feel good for a few minutes but it won’t last.
Option 2: If, able to, research the background of the decision made. The pros and cons of the decisions. Research who participated in making the decisions. Research possible statistics of similar decisions made in the past by prior head of states, either from one’s country or others. Refrain from posting anything that will inflame in oneself or others the negative feeling toward the head of states, because it will only multiply anger and frustration in oneself and others without accomplishing anything productive.
Option 3: If research as mentioned in option 2 cannot be done, one will still refrain from spreading negativity and frustration. Try to express one’s own point of view, in a way, that will make others think and be curious about why one may not approve of the decision made.
Option 4: Frustration and anger may push someone to write on Facebook what one believes should have been a better decision and why. It should be done with respect towards all individuals concern, and statistics if available should be presented. The argument will have supportive documents that may make other people think and review the decision made.
What is the best answer?
Option 2, 3 and 4 are acceptable answers depending on abilities and knowledge of the subject at end. Option 1 is not a good option. It does not stimulate goodness in others, it is spreading possible false statements. It is stimulating confrontation instead of cooperation.
