STOP THE HATE
We often fail to realize how much power words carry. Social media has the potential to reach hundreds, even thousands of unstable, angry minds. We never know when one post might trigger someone’s anger, causing them to harm another individual.
It’s true that we have the freedom of opinion, but we also have a responsibility to be aware of the result and consequences that opinion may cause. So, let's consider . . .
Why feed anger? … Anger harms
Why slander? … Slander destroys
Why stir up hate? … Hate divides
Why plant hate that destroys when you can
plant love and kindness that heals?
Our heart is our garden
The seeds we plant will grow
They will produce fruit
We will reap what we plant
Posts on social media
Reveal our heart
They expose who we are
So, be careful what you plant
You may not like the harvest
Think and ask before posting…
Does this stir up hatred?
Could it cause harm?
Stop the hate
Plant love and kindness
