Hi all...
The world of social media will not go away. And it should not. However, we have seen too much of what happens when a twitter war begins. Person A says something. Person B is offended, annoyed, or angry in some way. Person B fires back a nasty tweet, and then the entire world does a pile-on.
There has got to be a better way. There is a better way.
It is okay to be offended. It is okay to be annoyed. It is okay to get angry. There is nothing in the Bill of Rights or in the Charter that says you have an absolute right never to be angry or offended.
So be offended. Be annoyed. Be angry. I support you.
At this point, you are expecting me to tell you to count to ten before firing off what we always called a nasty-gram when I was in the Navy. Counting to ten is useless. Some count slowly. Some count quickly. I find it is better to have something more tangible than counting.
Here is my solution: before firing off the sharply-worded tweet, all offended, annoyed, and angry people must (must!!) eat a Hershey's kiss.
How can one be offended, annoyed, or angry after having consumed chocolate?
Have a good day everyone.
