Law and networks

31 May

The proliferation of acts of intolerance, of provocations and various types of violence by the networks makes many people think that it would be better to prohibit all this and perhaps to close these sites of relationship.

In Brazil in pre-election times, the climate promises to warm up, and the temptation to create laws and rules may seem tempting, but it hides authoritarianism and lack of freedom, but it is clear that slander, slander and slander are crimes, whether on facebook, on public roads or in the media that the owner of power maintains.

All this process in the networks is educational, however uncomfortable people will learn not to break relationships and create conflicts without any need, to strip themselves of prejudices and intolerances (there are differences between the two) and especially to go to acts of violence that are unacceptable crime, verbal violence as well.

The laws are there to be fulfilled, but also in this field a little tolerance helps to soften the climate, the excess of law makes us become pharisaic, say that steals more, this is worse than the other, I look for the good , and the honest, but without the rigor of the law. What the apostle Mark said in one of the words of Jesus (Mark 2: 25-26) “Jesus said to them,” Have you never read what David and his companions did when they were in need and hungry?

How did he enter the house of God, at the time that Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread offered to God, and gave them also to his companions?

However, only priests are allowed to eat these loaves. ” It is necessary even tolerance with the intolerant, that is to say, many people are outraged at the most serious situation of the country, the politicians and the scandals that do not cease to be denounced, but it is necessary to return to the serenity and to discuss the “proposals and programs” .

May we find spaces of true dialogue where wisdom can sprout.
