How many times have you read a post on a social media site
and asked yourself what is going on here?
Have you ever wondered if the person posting the post or
blog really thought out the words they put on paper to cut at someone?
Recently I have read posts and blogs that appear to be
directed at a single individual or a group of people. The words used are not edifying and certainly
the intended party would be hurt by the words posted. Oh I realize that there are some out there
who feel that they have the freedom of speech to say whatever they want to say
and to whomever they wish to say it to, however the freedom of speech only goes
as far as it offends one. Yes this
very post might be offensive to some reading it with the wrong motives.
Simply put, I am tired of the selfish posts and blogs that
call another out in social media. If we
are adults, why do we continue to act like little ones who have no
comprehension of our actions? Are we so
wrapped up in ourselves that we continue to use different standards for
different people? Perhaps we feel a
sense of security posting negative thoughts that others can simply chime in
with “like” rather than knowing the circumstances surrounding the posts.
Isn’t it time to really look in the mirror and see where the
real problem is? Instead of posting
negative thoughts and hurting the person you are calling out, why not sit face
to face like an adult and talk things out?
I have every intention of doing this very thing with the ones who have
hurt me recently or hurt those I love.
America is where it is today because of the continued
actions of individuals that have taken their focus off of what and who really
matters. Isn’t it sad that when a great
tragedy strikes, we get all wrapped up on how sad the situation is and want to
rush to their aid? Then why not look at
the tragedy that is growing in the relationships with those around you and
start helping them and lifting them up without expecting something in return?
Life is way too short.
Our family is going through some very difficult times. I don’t want to see anyone in a position that
I am with family and look back and say “Wow, I can’t believe he or she is
gone…. If I only had done______________.
