Very true, Turakii. Except for the part about chefs (har har aspirations), I agree. I see too much of this stuff; not only online but just in society in general. I try to think and find out why people are so harsh towards each other, but each time I try I come up empty-handed, no explanation whatsoever. How people can be so venomous to each other is beyond me - it doesn't accomplish anything and usually leads to more of the same. The more I see of it in society, the more is on the internet, and the other way around. Maye they're connshnected? (connected, for those of you who don't slur your words on purpose )
Human nature is to have your own personal opinion and way of acting around others, and I know that people don't sometimes like the way I act. (trust me, I'm different offline.) But there's no need to get up-in-arms about it, we can work through disagreements as easily as a knife cuts through water. Simple calm discussion is all that is needed, and that's really the only thing I never see anymore.
So really, all of us could be nice, caring individuals. Humans in general, I mean. Instead, we all seem to be fighting for what we think is right, when really it's up for debate that every single thought in the world is both right and wrong at the same time, depending on the angle you look at it from. I try to do that with every bit of info I hear(which is tons), and so maybe that's why I have this particular opinion.
The simply put version: people are too mean to each other both on-and-offline these days and, like Turakii said, it's not getting us anywhere. Calming down and just talking is the key here I think, and it doesn't help that anyone can deny a claim they think is wrong if they're creative enough.
Whoe. (that's a short, hard breath outwards).
I think that speech had been locked away for years! speaking of something else locked away for years....
