I bet you started reading this to figure out what kind of monster could possibly come to the conclusion that people need to stop being so nice to each other in this already rude and angry population of people. This my friend, was false advertisement use with the intention of luring outraged and kind individuals, just like yourself, to read this hella important message. So before I really begin, I must state that this article is to contradict the title completely. In reality, we need to start to be kinder and more empathetic towards one another. It’s not that difficult to do that.
Somehow, it has become the normal and funny thing to be “savage” towards others. Understand, I take part in the joking with friends in a silly and bartering matter as well, but some seem to not understand that there is a fine line between having some fun joking around and being a total douchelord. I see it everywhere! It is especially potent in the media; specifically Facebook and Twitter. These are the prime examples of going overboard and crossing the line for no apparent reason besides to get attention and hurt others.
On these social media sites, people post everything about their lives. They post when they feel confident; when they feel they are doing something fun; when they want to share a funny story that happened to them or even when they are feeling bummed out. There are the people that are disinterested and just scroll past the post. They keep their opinions to themselves and that’s the best way to go. Then, there are the people who are happy and post uplifting comments for the person. However, there are also the people who thrive off of negativity and post things to try to ruin someone's day, because somehow that is a form of entertainment.
They post uncalled for comments on things that do not concern them in the slightest. These people go out of their way to ruin someone else's day or yet make it worse, if it’s something they're upset about.
Why? What is the purpose of this? Why act awful or tough to some random individual who has done absolutely nothing but post something about their life? If it doesn’t concern you or is not completely and utterly offensive without a doubt, you are nothing less than a bully if you set out to be rude to someone just become its “savage” and funny to you. If this is entertaining to you, you’re obviously stuck in the school yard bully stage and need to do some growing up.
I could go on about this topic for ages and list example after example, but I won’t to you or myself. The message I am really trying to emphasize is stop being jerks for the hell of it and start being nice to others. Be nicer than you even have to be. Nice is cool. Give light to others and have warmer interactions. Being passive aggressive and rude towards people for the hell of it or for “fun” is dumb and uncalled for. Call me what you want. Tell me that people need to learn how to take a joke. Whatever. People do like jokes, actually they like them an awful lot. People don’t like your impolite jokes because you’re just being a jerk and obnoxious. #MakeNiceCoolAgain2016
