Many answer with hatred, anger, and bitterness?

Question

Instead of using this space to exchange ideas, many attack irrationally. Do they do this in their daily conversations in person, or do they reserve it for the Internet?
Does this reflect the state of society, in general?

Answer 1

Its where many children come to play. They supply the background noise while others come to answer questions. Its kind of like the adults are in one room and the children are just down the hall in the daycare room. Don't let the noise get to you. Sometimes you have to let the Yahoo babysitters know that the kids are starting to get a little out of hand so they can clean up the messes that they leave on the floor. Otherwise it gets a little too messy for the serious adults to help someone with a question.

Answer 2

Some people mistake sharing opposing views as hatred, anger and bitterness. Some respond in bitterness and anger because they are unstable in their beliefs and can't handle when their belief system is challenged. Some come with hatred because they are outside of the realm of spiritual things and therefore hate what they don't understand.

Society in general is evil and sinful because all people are born in sin. Most of us cover up what is really inside us, and if we were permitted to do as we please without damage to ourselves we would appear quite differently to others.

Some have surrendered their entire life to God and live in peace with everyone while trying to reach out and teach others that there is a real God who loves them enough to forgive them and change their entire life for the good. The Bible says, "Few find this way." It is not because God wills most people to be ignorant, but because most will refuse to believe what He says.

If everyone believed and obeyed God there would be peace on earth and all differences would be erased. That won't happen while the earth stands, so there will always be this conflict until we are all called before the judgment seat where the final division will take place and never be reversed.

Answer 3

"Why am I filled with hatred,anger, and bitterness?" As an Adlerian psychologist, I ask: What do you get out of it? (That's the standard response to the question of "why" do I behave as I do? Adlerians believe that behavior is based on future goals, not past causes.) So...what do you get out of feeling hatred, anger, bitterness? What's the purpose, for you, of creating those feelings within yourself? Your solution is to check in with an Adlerian or Cognitive therapist, and learn how to manage your unwelcome feelings. In the meantime (that is, until you do that) try this "4-S Method" of thoguht and feeling control: 1. Stop sign -- When you sense a thought you don't want in your head, in your imagination hold up a huge red stop sign, perhaps being held by a stern-faced crossing guard! 2. Shout it out -- Shout at the thought, scream at it, curse at it, yell at it (all in your mind, of course!) until you can sense that it is leaving your mind. (The nice thing about the mind is that it cannot contain more than a single conscious thought at a time.) Treat it like an intruder in your mind, someone you DO NOT want in there! Get angry at it! 3. Substitute -- Have handy a sentence or thought to put in the place of the unwanted thought. Make it something strong, something positive, something you really want to believe! (Some people carry such positive or self-encouraging thoughts with them, on 3 x 5 cards.) 4. Sustain -- Keep at it. YOU CREATED THE UNWANTED THOUGHT FOR A REASON! ("Psychology of Use" says you think all your thoughts in order to get something from them!) As you kick the unwanted thought out the front door, it will turn around and try to sneak in a window or down the chimney! DON'T LET IT! Keep repeating the four S's until you find yourself to be in charge of the thought you don't want. As you become more comfortable with this, you'll find you are more in control of your whole mind, and also of your feelings. By this time next week you will feel more in control of your unwelcome feelings and thoughts. If not...that's an indication that you get something out of having such thoughts and feelings, and that you do not want to give them up yet... Dr. Bob, Adlerian Psychologist

Answer 4

The anonymity of this forum paves the way for extreme views that many don't express as publicly in real life.

This same anonymity also allows people to be more candid and honest in their interactions because hardly anyone personally knows anyone else on here.

Being anonymous is empowering for some.

Answer 5

i think some people get upset by the wording in which the question was asked.
it's kind of like reading a book. your reading dialogue and you know, not by hearing it, but by seeing the wording that one character is being antagonizing. if you ask a question with bitter, angry or hateful intent, people will somehow pick up on that underlying "tone", and give it right back. you get back what you put out.

Answer 6

Matt 24:9-11---NIV

9 "Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

Answer 7

It reflects the thought life of many people (if they were not constrained by knowing their scoffing may be met by a punch in the mouth. )

This forum provides the socially challenged an outlet for their inner thoughts.

Answer 8

It would be nice if we could all just think answers through before responding in ignorance and irrationality.

Answer 9

It's the internet dear.
Contrary to popular belief, it is not serious business.
What you may see as extreme anger or hatred typed out, could have really been meant with the heaviest sarcasm in mind.

Answer 10

This place is just an outlet because political correctness in the real world is squeezing the life out of everybody.
