Sometimes I really wonder what humanity has become. In this generation of technology, people seem to have lost their conscience. Just because we choose to put ourselves on the Internet, does that give people the right to anonymously say disrespectful things to you? Just because it's the Internet where people can easily have any kind of identity they want or have none at all, does that give them the right to do that?
You don't go up to someone in real life and disrespect them with rude comments about their lives. So why would you do that online? Just because you can? Just because nobody would find out who you are? That's utterly selfish and disgusting. Have you ever thought about the feelings of that person? He or she could be going through something in their lives and just because they choose to leave the reasons out, you just assume whatever you want and judge them on it?
It makes me sad, very sad. It is moments like this that make me understand why my sister did what she did. Humans are so cruel. I really respect people who live very public lives, where all day long they have to deal with haters and have to brush off negative comments on a daily basis. It takes so much to be able to not take those disrespectful comments to heart and just do what you do. Why do people think they have the right to be mean to you just because they don't have to deal with the repercussions? Just people nobody will ever find out it was them who did it? Just because they don't have to see the hurt on that person's face?
Why can't people be kind? Where has kindness gone? How do people sleep at night knowing they've done something with the intention of hurting someone? How would you feel if someone did that to you? It makes me really sad to think that people can do such things without even batting an eyelid. What goes around does come around, I hope you know that.
"Your kindness will reward you, but your cruelty will destroy you." - Proverbs 11:17
