Stress reliever ba para sa iyo ang social media? Paano kung kabaligtaran ang nangyayari at naha-high blood ka dahil sa pakikipagtalo? Listen to today’s devotion for your peace of mind. Ituloy natin ang ating series na “Internet Etiquette.”

Ang simula ng kaguluha’y parang butas sa isang dike; na dapat ay sarhan bago ito lumaki.

Mga Kawikaan 17:14

“Hindi dapat ‘yan ang pinagtutuunan ng pansin ng gobyerno!” Ito ang post ni Carlo sa Facebook, sharing his opinion on a very controversial issue. May nakabasa nito at nag-comment ng negative. Sumagot si Carlo na may halong inis. At wala pang isang oras, humaba na ang thread lalo na’t marami pang biglang nakisawsaw sa usapan. ‘Di ba napaka-familiar ng ganitong eksena sa social media?

For so many people, social media is a stress reliever. Pero marami namang tao ang para bang nabubuhayan ng dugo kapag may disagreements! Sa totoo lang, malaya naman tayong mag-disagree. But how do we express disagreements? How do we respond to those who disagree with us?

Ang social media ay may kakayanang palakihin at pasamain ang takbo ng disagreements. Kaya ang paalala ng Bible sa Mga Kawikaan 17:14, huwag nang palalain pa ang gulo! Para daw itong butas ng dike na lumalaki nang lumalaki dahil sa malakas na puwersa ng tubig. When this happens with how we relate with people online, the damage can be very hurtful!

Kaibigan, remember these things. We can always choose to let it go and not make it grow worse. Kung may makita man tayong mali, tandaan na hindi lahat ng conversation at correction ay magagawa online. At kung sakali mang malaking issue para sa atin ang post ng ating social media friends, there’s always an option to talk to them privately, personally, and most of all, patiently.

Let people express their thoughts and post their opinions in life while we apply love and wisdom to how we react. We need to show more kindness in this world, offline and online.

Alam mo ba na ikaw ay influencer din? Abangan iyan bukas sa last part ng ating short series on Internet Etiquette.

LET’S PRAY

Lord, please forgive us of our wrong behaviors online. Bigyan Ninyo po kami ng wisdom sa aming pakikipagkapwa sa social media nang maging blessing kami kahit sa Internet.

APPLICATION

Kapag may post na disagree tayo, ask ourselves: “Is this person close to me to listen to my disagreements with love? Is there a positive reason to share my disagreement? Can we have this conversation in private or in person? What does God want me to say?”
