When our ideas are put to the test, it is hard to be receptive . Moreso if it is our pride. And that is the truth.
With forums like this, we get to meet a lot of people who has different intentions, opinions, personalities, not to mention sense of humor. The problem is we only get to read the message. Believe it or not, it is easier to get the idea across in a conversation. I think because, the emoticon is not enough. Hehe. Or probably because in person, we can assault the other instead.
In as much as it is important to think what we’re going to post, it is equally imperative to consider how others would take it. If we have to think twice before posting, we also have to think as much (if not more) while reading others’ messages.
It’s hard you see, given the complexity of man, to decode each other’s persona, moreso in a forum where we are defined only by some of our thoughts. And I think you can’t fault some people on how they put up their message in as much as they can’t fault us in how we would respond.
The best thing would be to try our best to keep an open mind. Trust me, it takes a lot of effort. It’s hard to be opposed. But it’s harder to accept defeat. (and I admit my guilt, hehe)
Sabi nga nila, pag binato ka ng bato, batuhin mo ng tinapay. Easier said than done. Hehe. But then in forums, it would always boil down to the matter of perspective. Malay mo tinapay pala iyong binato.
