I have been noticing many negative comments on Facebook of late and it is starting to concern me. I am trying to make more positive remarks on my profile page in order to set an example for those who cannot seem to do so on theirs.
Does making fun of, or commenting on the looks of others in a negative way really make you feel superior? If so, take a good look at yourself and see what some of the rest of us see. Not all but some, twenty somethings seem to think they will never age, or become overweight or ill and the world is their oyster alone. Time for a reality check!
Not to be misunderstood, I am not saying that all individuals in this age
category are this immature and self-centered. The world itself has become more critical in general and now there is a public format for
expressing what sometimes should be better left unsaid. I firmly believe
in self expression but could it be more positive and up lifting instead of
negative and demeaning?
When commenting on "Has Been" celebrities, remember that they at
least achieved greatness at one time. Have those of you who put them
down ever achieved stardom? I suppose when one is not secure in themselves they must put down others in order to elevate themselves.
However, when you do so, it becomes extremely clear to those reading
your ramblings how very insecure you truly are.
I can be opinionated and speak my mind but have learned to read what
I write and then perhaps think: "Do I really need to express that? "
All of us need to learn to be more conscious of what we say and how we
say it but remember when you use the defense "I was only stating the truth", it may just be your concept of the truth and not what truly is.
We all have success and failure in life. When you are experiencing the
latter, would you prefer support or condemnation? Think about
that or just plain think before you communicate.
For example, I have had to censor this blog and make it more kindly than
if I expressed how I truly feel. I hope those who read this realize that it was written in the spirit of inspiring a kinder, gentler and less bitchy society. People feel bad enough about themselves as it is without anyone
else adding to their self doubt. Think, edit and then write and be an inspiration and not a desecration of humanity!
