[:en]With the modern medium of communication, not all online news are true. Fake news have been circulating to confuse and influence the minds of people. No wonder readers past rude rants, insults, name-calling under the comments section of on-line sites.
There are verses in Proverbs 26 that seem to contradict each other, yet they apply perfectly to social media. “Do not answer a fool according to his folly or you yourself will be just like him” (v. 4). And then, “Answer a fool according to his folly or he will be wise in his own eyes” (v. 5). The balance in these statements is in the “according to”. Don’t answer in the way a fool would answer. But respond so that foolishness is not considered wisdom.
We are free to choose what we want to say. But let us treat each other with respect and void posting sarcastic comments. Let us ask wisdom from God to say what is true and beneficial to others.[:]
