THE PSYCHOLOGY OF INSULTS IN GROUP DISCUSSIONS

  1. It happens within our power and outside our potential that whenever we gather and decide to debate on issues, we, by default, take sides. And that is because we have a brain to reason according to everyone’s capacity and a heart to feel.
  2. It happens within our power and without our will that when we deliberate on these issues, we run out of Points and we aim at Persons and the attack is launched on personalities. This is also because of insufficient research and the lack of confidence to admit defeat and learn from others.
  3. It again happens that even though we have a brain to think and a heart to feel, most of us, amidst debate,s we feel with our brain and think with our hearts…and this is why testosterone raises and emotions fly…and boom!! Insults take the place of inspiration.
  4. It is also within our power or sometimes beyond our power to understand an insult, and also the one who insults. This is what I mean. In this group, I personally know one person and that is Frank.
  5. If Frank insulted me I would take offence, and inbox him and ask him why or what is happening. Then there are people I like but have never met… Like Uncle Paul and Ntale, if they insulted me, I would call them or inbox them and ask them why or what is happening.
  6. I wouldn’t respond on air.. (on the group) for all the public to gaze on my failure to handle conflict. I would leave the group for its mission and take my cares to the responsible parties.

Again it is important to understand that if someone calls you a pig or duck, it is an insult but wait a minute, are you really a pig? Of course not, then why would struggle to prove what obviously you are not. We must get over these insults depending on their sources.

Who takes an 11yr boy to court over defamation. Who of us would prosecute a mad person…? Who? Administrators must always take note and not add the infants and the mad to adults and well-thinking members of society. Whenever the toddler and the sick is detected, he or she should be quarantined.

That is how you manage society and get things going. Please take no offence until you really know WHO it comes from. And don’t respond to extend and give stupidity the popularity it does not deserve…play contempt as the admin carbs the sick. We are meant to live together as long as the sick are in the hospital and the kids outside playing and giving the adults space to think for them.

God bless you, I invoke TRUTH, REASON, and FAITH
