Do you have a dark side and your Mr. Hyde?






Look at this woman in a good mood. She is smiling, radiates with kindness and softness. Everybody would say how nice is that woman. She is a real angel, just without wings. Now, try to make her angry or sad. Hurt her with bad words or bad behavior. How she will react?


Maybe she will squeeze teeth and swallow sadness inside. She can yell or cry. But also, she can make a plan to get revenge and paycheck. 

We will say, is that really the same person? She was so nice and kind. Now, she is a demon or devil. Human behavior depends on how we treat people. If you cross limits and press the wrong buttons, the person who was your friend can be your worst enemy.

Robert Louis Stevenson wrote the book  "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." It is a story about the double personality of the same person. Dr. Jekyll is the good man, devoted to his profession, and Mr. Hyde is killer and monster. He is his evil twin when he changes the mood. Dr. Jekyll can save himself only to destroy Mr. Hyde, but the price is the death of Dr. Jekyll, he can't survive in this inside battle.

Some people are so sensitive that it can lead to extremities. I love you today, but tomorrow I will hate you so much that I want to kill you. Discarded love, unfilled promises, broken heart, all this can be the background for anger and pain. Mr. Hyde was born and he will get revenge to protect weak Dr. Jekyll. He could not resist challenges, but Mr. Hyde can do it.

How we control our dark side? 

If we want to destroy someone who deserves this, we must take care of yourself first. It is like you want to burn the house, but then you wish to save one floor. Everything will burn in this fire. 

We should not stay in this darkness because it is a mousetrap. A black hole where is no exit. Someone causes pain to you, but you can't be stuck in this too long. This is injustice and game against fair rules, but we must survive. Sooner or later, this person will suffer too, and if we have luck, we will take a seat in the first line to watch this.

Every time when black thoughts occupy my mind, I remember that I can miss something interesting if I drown in my sadness. This is like a football match, if we don't watch all 90 minutes or more in additional time, we can miss the final scores.

Social media: how to react to negative comments?

The virtual world became a platform where people expose their frustrations. If you post something positive, you will not get reaction. Ignorance is mostly present when you express your happiness. If you post something that irritates people, you will get negative reactions. Many young users use internet to write negative comments, put dislikes and troll others. We are witnesses to young generation who is angry, passive and without a purpose. You Tube opted out dislikes for public. You can see in your private statistic a number of dislikes.  Some people have a bad humor and don't have a clue how their reaction can hurt others. You will tell me this is a freedom of speech and free choice, but also as an owner of my profiles in social media I have right to restrict negative comments. I am against censoring and dictatorship and every critic is welcome, but I don't tolerate rude and abusive behavior. Besides, if someone leave a negative, rude comment, that gives an ugly example to ot
