Pardon my French here, but this person makes a VERY, VEEEERRRRYYYYY valid point, that I want you all to read; that includes my trolls.
Here is the message VERBATIM:
"I've noticed a culture on the internet that takes pride in giving the middle finger to things. You know it, you've seen it, you laughed and you've
said 'FUCK YOU!' along with them. You've reposted the 'Anyone Know Someone Who Should Be Punched in the Face?' blogs, and you've
taken pride in hating those haters who are gonna hate. My question is, what good does this do? How does this improve your life? It reeks of
self importance and breeds pride, wrath and negativity. This attitude is self justifying and phobic. We go around making fun of that 'bitch' or
that 'asshole' when calling them that does very little but MAKE YOU INTO ONE. Who wants to hang around someone who complains about
people all the time, congratulating themselves that they aren't as bad as the other guy? Isn't that what the BULLIES do- put people down to
make themselves feel better? Instead of blaming others, let's take responsibility for ourselves, admit to our mistakes and ask others to hold
us accountable for our failings. People are surprisingly helpful and forgiving when they don't think the world is out to get them. It's easy to
give in to this hate culture. I've got a lot of anger and it's easy to hate the people who have hurt me. Why can't we be the better person for
once and spread OPTIMISM and HUMILITY? You are NOT INNOCENT in this. I struggle with this myself, every day. I know what you're
thinking now. 'I'm not that bad. Only sometimes.' We'll never change if we do not see a need to change WITHIN OURSELVES. Next time
you want to post that rant or re-blog that self-justifying, witty, angry quip to make yourself 'feel better', DON'T, then post something you're
thankful for instead. It's not popular to love. It's popular to hate. BE the CHANGE the world NEEDS. Yes, at the EXPENSE OF YOURSELF.
I DARE YOU
I admit, I am a lot like this. When I feel hurt, I do the EXACT SAME THING, this person is against. I am guilty as charged. We all are. Please, read and take this to heart.
