After my last post about complaining, I did not foresee myself writing about the subject again. However, I feel as though I have been bombarded by complaints ever since. Real, imagined, and just plain pointless are the things I have been seeing. Most are aimed at anonymous groups of "others". As though the whole world is at fault. Everything must be wrong in the world if so many feel they have to speak out about the most trivial of things. "To err is human, to forgive is divine" said Alexander Pope some 300 years ago. Have truer words been spoken? I am not religious in any way, but what happened to the Golden Rule?
It hurts me. It really does. Maybe I feel too much, maybe I'm dramatic. So many people seem to be disgusted with everyone else. What makes them think that they are so right? How can they possibly judge? Even children know that everyone makes mistakes. They know that not everyone is as smart. They also know that they aren't the best and the smartest out there. If those generalizations are not true, please, bring me a self-righteous child who is unwilling to change their mind.
I hear so many generalizations about people abusing welfare, people drinking, people being bloody "stupid". I just want everyone to shut. up.
How can one judge a mother? How can someone judge another's intelligence? How do you choose who is wrong for this world? And who told you everything was going to be fine?
There are so many proverbs about people in glass houses and pointing fingers. When did the world stop listening?
I just want to say: People have always been this way. Actually, if you look back through history, we are so much better off than we've ever been. In the Western world we are half civilized. There are serious problems in society. But how long everyone going to sit on their lazy ass, watching TV, or browsing the internet before they finally take a damn stand, and DO SOMETHING.
Quit your bitching.
*Yes, I am aware of the hypocritical nature of this post. That is why it is titled "A Common Condition".
