“My pain may be the reason for somebody's laugh. But my laugh must never be the reason for somebody's pain.” – Charlie Chaplin

This is a 21st Century phenomenon that is progressively picking up steam especially in these unprecedented times.

Cyber bullying and harassment today is rampant.

No one is immune as it preys on all regardless of age, sex, wealth, fame, and the list goes on and on.

Hiding behind the veil of anonymity allows some people to spew hatred, intolerance, and everything else that fall into this category.

Some of these people are angry but now their anger has transformed into an ugly beast called hatred.

Anonymity to them is incredible power that they have never experienced before in their life.

Moreover, self-image and self-worth is their true quest for self-actualization.

However, many are actually decent human beings with families and jobs but somehow got caught up in online mobs that are no different than street mobs anywhere on the planet.

One or two individuals can cause havoc when they believe that their mission in life is to defame, slander, intimidate, and persecute individuals.

Their agenda is very transparent.

In most cases, they spew without performing their due diligence regarding the facts as their ongoing dialogue inspires more hatred based on conjecture.

What’s the cost?

Ultimately, hate begets hate and the cost is undeniably huge, emotionally, spiritually, and physically for these perpetrators and everyone that is affected.

Hate creates imbalance.

“The future belongs to brands that do more than play lip service to real dialogue and recognize that their customers want them to believe in something.” — James Murdoch

Currently there has been a lot of talk and action about business players removing their advertising dollars from giant platforms.

It is no surprise to anyone.

Professing honorable community standards and not adhering to them is simply lip service.

One of the giant’s stated corporate purpose:

“To give people the power to build community and bring the word closer together”

Ultimately lip service always brings down the giant.

What was intended to connect humanity in all corners of the globe has now disengaged people with hatred, disrespect, intolerance, and everything else that falls into this camp.

Why is it out of control?

Imagine anyone on the planet that is practicing law, medicine, or any other professional entity without any regulatory board or licensing.

What about no longer having to license vehicles or individuals?

The list goes on and on.

The result?

It would be a free for all and a recipe for anarchy.

People all over the world have experienced some of the giant’s wrath of perpetuated hatred and intolerance.

In many ways this typifies the David and Goliath story.

The giant’s guess today is that all these major players will be back but not comprehending that their five smooth stones in the form of billions upon billions of advertising revenue places him in jeopardy.

One giant might be betting on the feeder’s lack of will to stop the feeding and ultimately restore the status quo.

What’s the solution?

Stop feeding the giant and watch it come tumbling down like a huge building that is imploded.

Hopefully, the giant will wake up and prevent the impending implosion.

What's the real solution to this social media pandemic?

Kill them with kindness.

Forgive them.

Release them to their highest good of HSPP (happiness, success, prosperity and peace of mind).

Love always begets love, respect, tolerance, diversity, inclusion, and equality.

Love creates balance.

This might be a hard pill to swallow for some however doing this releases toxicity from your psychological house.

Begin right now and do not even spend one more microsecond of your precious time, any longer contemplating their toxicity.

Be mentally tough.

Determination, openness, understanding, compassion, and purpose will be your mental toughness armor.

Finally, the greatest weapon in the universe is to extend love and compassion and pray for these people.

Carpe Momentum.
