A Right Response Does It All
Its necessary we don't mistake the right answer for a soft answer. Sometimes an harsh answer could be the right answer, we just have to see ahead, have a foresight of the afterwards effect. For peaceful resolution we have often seen a calmer approach, a scenario whereby the peace makers are making both parties feel good, hoping that the lighter mood would get both to cool down their fire intensity. This often works but not all approaches would this methodology by best suitable for. Places like home, schools where there are most likely to be constant fighting, this approach may not be best.
Even the bible said "Spare the rod and spoil the child", there are times whereby the means to ending this are to inculcate a bit of fear, or maybe an outright scolding, may not look like it at first but on the long run it gets the job done. I guess the police and other protection agencies are familiar with this approach and guess what they are also called peace keepers, do you know that the police though they arrest and jail, are with the responsibility of maintain law and orderliness In the environment, so there would be peace for all to coexist. Do they use the apologizes approach always, No.
Imagine you were supposed to settle a dispute between a bully and the bullied, or an oppressor and the oppressed, how would you settle all of that, definitely one is so wrong, and the other so innocent, trying to calm the oppressor may send a message to him that the world is scared of him, and nothing can touch him as he is yet pleaded with to take it easy. What is the aftermath of this approach, definitely expect him to do it again. I'm not sure a dialogue have ever stopped a bully, it serves as a fuel, no one wants to stop gaining benefits because of sentiments.
For those having an older sibling like me, remember when we were younger and would get into a fight with your elder brother or sister who could effortlessly beat you up. At that young age as a boy, your older sister can still beat you up cause your muscles are that strong yet. Now when the fight happens, how does mummy settle the fight, of course she shouts more at the elder siblings, yes shout at us too, but our shout are more of an advice, you would hear things like "Don't insult your elder brother again, he would simply beat you up", we would still be acting all tough, but we know it's true, few minutes back we were already having the beating of our lives 😂, thank God mom separated it.
It's a different ball game however when you're in a position to lead a lot of people. A president, king, managing director, a writer, journalist, celebrity, as long as there are people attached to your work or position, you really want to careful with your response. Emotions are sometimes not the best approach for these positions, cause one dirty act can negatively affect the whole career flowing astray the years of consistency and dedication. Unlike every regular people, a famous person has got to be double careful, especially with how he or she responds.
Being on a social media platform like Twitter or Instagram, you must have experienced this a whole lot, with just a single tweet and the whole country is buzzing up and down, can you remember any celebrity who has been insulted online, how bad was it, yet did that celebrity respond by Insulting back, no he can't, the people are his or her market, no matter what they want to be on the peoples side, although some celebrities are so crazy they don't mind, well we all are humans and a display of emotions are normal, we are firstly human, then a popular figure.
How about the politicians who clearly know they are surrounded by opposition watching their every move, simply awaiting the right moment to strike, wouldn't they too be extra careful, I bet they would. They live in their world like it's a law court "whatever you say or do would be used against you in the court room. Most times they are faced with tricky questions, more like a trap with everyone waiting for the next response or actions so they can use it as a tool against him, at this point only the right answer would save the day. One has got to be careful and smart to get the right answers per time per season.
The right answer is helpful to everyone, we all need to think things through, our experiences each day are some how dependent on the response we give. The right words can either calm down a situation or stop it completely, but the another word could escalate things beyond your control. Do you know the aftermath of your intending actions, have you thought it through. Life is better enjoyed in an environment of peace and growth,we grow by being happy. Stay happy everyone.
Thanks for taking time out to read guys. Happy New Month and a lovely week. Stay Loved.
Hola, gracias por tu escrito. Sà en el enfoque que nos muestras, es verdad que dependiendo de las situaciones y el papel que uno ocupe en la vida va a depender qué respuestas vamos a dar frente a los hechos. No siempre una respuesta amable es la mejor solución para rsolver un conficto, fijar una postura, hacer que algo se cumpla, ahà se requiere fortaleza mental y cierto grado de frialdad para actuar. De igual manera, las respuestas duras no aplican para todos los casos puesto que harÃan más agria o engorrosa una situación. El punto acá es aprender a discenir, y para obtener ese discernimiento, quizás muchas veces tendremos que equivocarnos para aprender
