It’s an election year and social media is filled with vitriol. Sad, really. Here’s what I see as the problem with online political rants:
Q: How long will I feel better after venting?
A: Maybe a minute.
Q: Will it change anybody’s opinion?
A: Nope.
Q: How many people will it frustrate?
A: About half my online friends.
Maybe it’s better to embrace silence when we are tempted to shout about our frustrations.
I definitely have my opinions, but let’s talk about them, not shout about them. Let’s talk over a glass of wine or cup of coffee. Not over a wifi connection.
