In today's cyber world, I wonder how many of you here have encountered some jerk or asshole. I and some friends have! It seems that whatever we end up doing online, we cannot completely avoid them!
But what exactly is a jerk or asshole? I know each one of us has some sort of notion of what one is like, but let's consult the dictionary.
The Webster's dictionary defines an asshole ( and I'm not referring to that part of our body!) as a supreme jerk, shithead, and a pain and annoyance. Other meanings given are a fatuous, contemptible, rude, sarcastic, thick-faced fool!
As we all know, they come in various size, shape and color and are known to make offensive comments and show a general disrespect for others (otherwise translated as "bastos" in pinoy language!), although I must say even a straightforward person may sometimes be unfairly accused of being one! Sometimes, they can say nasty things when they don't even know you at all. It's just that they think they are superior and can't take being ignored or not being the center of attention, (Kulang sa pansin(KSP) again in our language)so that their ego drives them to spew malicious words. What they do is not healthy and merely turns people away from them but then they already know that!
Now, with all the non-likable adjectives given to a jerk and asshole, isn't it quite easy for them to stand out and bow!?...even makes it more elementary for someone to spot one! Really, they're not worth a thought, but once in a while, they do get under your skin!
I think the best way to deal with them is to ignore them, to just walk away, you know....not stoop down to their level, no matter how difficult that may be!...and since the assholes and jerks have discovered the internet a long time ago, there's just no way of shirking one completely so let's keep an eye on them!
BATO BATO SA LANGIT,ANG TAMAAN HUWAG MAGALIT!
