Chose to heal and not to hurt.
Be kind to those online.
So I woke up today. And got my first cup of coffee and I go on WA and I go on my socials to post about my website (Updates). And I saw something that made my heart hurt so badly. Someone is saying and posting rude things about someone I care deeply about. They make fun of this person and I won’t say their name because I don’t need to do that. But when I saw the post I was deeply hurt and then my morning was bad, I am in a happy mood in the mornings most of the time, but then I saw what was said and my day just went downhill. I mean I do love Wednesdays but I don’t know why people have you be so rude to others online.
I am the kindest person you may meet online, and even in person, I tend to be nice to those I am around. But when someone hurts someone I care about, It hurts me, and kinda makes me mad to see this stuff in the world we live in.
I hope to know that this person knows how to handle this kind of thing on the web. What does it mean for you? Well here is what I am getting at.
We have the power of life and death. What this means is what we say to those around us impacts them. If you said someone that they are ugly or worse they will feel so hurt that they might try to hurt themselves and we don’t need that in this world. There is a saying that an Actor (who is a great person by the way) once said.
"Chose to heal and not to hurt”
I love this saying so much that it's my bio of personal Facebook.
What He was saying is, we can say something that heals the person who is probably going through a hard time, or we could make their day worse. We don't know what is going on in their life and we have to say things that heal them ans not hurt them.
My sister was at a restaurant a few years ago and the waiter was having a bad day and Abby didn't know this and then she told the waitress she liked her hair and she broke down saying. "Thank you so much honey." Abby now understands that one simple word of kindness can make someone's day so much better.
The bottom line is this, Please use kind words, and let’s chose to heal and not to hurt. Have a wonderful Wednesday WA family!

Hello Rebekah, Hugs from me to you, the other person that was hurt and the one doing the hurting. Thank you for expressing yourself. We all have a choice every day how we react to each and every situation, whether we are concious of it or not. Lovely choices you are making here. Have a beautiful rest of your day. Rupert.
Rebekah272 this is exactly what is happening to a lot of people these days Online abused is everywhere these days ,, hatred and discrimination,, even racism is going online,, I make one suggestion maybe Kyle and Carson can change this practice forever online,, because at wealthy Afilliate everyone is responsible for ther own actions,, so if online companies like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tictok,, if all these companies start making people responsible for their actions,, just like every single member of the wealthy Afilliate community is responsible for their actions,, then we could eradicate hate, discrimination and even racial abuse online,, because people will know that they will not get away with it ,, so am deeply sorry to hear you are feeling sad because of this ,, we in the wealthy Afilliate community is always here for you and wish you the best possible day SHINEPAGE
Thank you very much for this, i am still upset about what my friend is going through but i know he will be okay soon. I agree too, we should be more willing to say nice things even if we don't like too. If your having a bad day i don't want to say something that might make your day worse. I would want to try to help you out by saying kind things and everyone online and in person should do the very same.
Hi Rebekah.
I’m sorry to hear that you and A.N.Other had to put up with this.
Please consider ... Actually, I’m sure you already know... it’s not what happens that counts, it’s how we react to what happens that counts.

very true. it was bugging me so i thought i would post something nice about what he is going through.
Living by the motto" Don't do to others what you don't want to happen to you " can get you a long way. But sometimes , you need to hurt people too with the harsh truth, even friends. But if you only out there to simply hurt people for no reason, then a self-reflection might be in order. Thanks for the share, Rebekah. Your kind words are always appreciated, Lady :-)
So true, i try to live by that motto and the other i quoted in my post. Thanks for the insight.
Have a great day.

If that person started off and asked 'is this how I would want to be treated?' he would have avoided a lot of the torment and hurt that was caused to you. We have to try to be empathetic. By doing this we will be better. Above it all Rebekah don't allow anyone to take your shine away.
thank you so much for the words of wisdom.
You are most welcome Rebekah
