Emil Gharib is a fatherhood adviser and social worker. He is active in social media and, on his page, he writes and posts famous words of wisdom, words that promote love, tolerance, peace and harmony.
In this interview, Mr Gharib explains why sometimes, some people who disagree with a comment or a post, start using offensive language.
Mr Gharib categorises people as being one of three types, the thinker, who analyses what is written then posts their comments in an appropriate manner; the chatter, who likes to comment on anything posted, asserting his or her views and interests, without giving weight to the post; and then there is a person who just comments for the sake of commenting.
Mr Gharib says that it is very important we control our emotions when we disagree with a post or comment. He says we should always pause for a moment, read the post or comment again, and that will give our brain a chance to formulate an appropriate judgement and hence, our reaction will be much different.
He concludes with a passage that says: You are wrong if you think you are right and I am wrong. I am wrong when I think I am right and you are wrong. But we both are right when we think we are both right.
