We need to be a lot kinder to one another!!
I was watching the bachelor tonight, the women tell all. There was a part near the end of the show where this lady came on, not sure who she was but she had something powerful to say.
This woman was saying how the women on the show and all over the world (men as well) are getting hate mail from random strangers on the internet because they're comfortable saying mean, hateful, hurtful things over their computers and smart devices.
This couldn't be truer. Ever since electronics have come out and the internet has become such a powerful tool to connect friends, family and strangers, hate has spread like wildfire. There is more hate now than I have ever seen and the internet wasn't even available for the most part inside your home when I was younger.
Why do people feel it's okay to slide into someone's messages and DM's just to tell them you think they're stupid, ugly, fat, you don't like their hair, their clothes, their skin colour, their skin at all or where they live, what they do? Who gave us that power to be so cruel for no reason? Why are we bashing strangers just because we can? Why are we telling perfect strangers to kill themselves?
My oldest son is 14 years old, he has disabilities and autism. He just loves to play on his Xbox with other people and be able to talk to them. He likes to be able to not have to face people in person yet make new friends over his Xbox. He's comfortable that way, it's easier on his anxiety. It's been a great tool for him however, he's met some very cruel and hurtful people who've said things to him like "go kill yourself," and "You're fucking stupid," and "Go fuck off and die!" Why? How does saying any of these things to a 14-year-old boy make you feel good about yourself? How are you able to look yourself in the mirror every day knowing you've said such hurtful things to someone? How do you know that what you say doesn't have such a negative impact on someone that they don't actually go and kill themselves? What if they did?! Would you feel bad then? Would you say it again?
Our words have POWER!! They are one of the most powerful tools we have as humans. Be it if you use your words as your voice out of your mouth, in a text message, Facebook message, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, Snapchat, etc... or if you write it on paper; however, you use your words if you use them in a negative form to harm and or insult someone else you are endangering they're well being. You have no idea how long your negative words will stick with someone, how hard they will take your words and if they'll take you seriously and kill themselves when you tell them to.
You have NO RIGHT to hurt someone else just for your own pleasure or because you can for the simple fact that you're hiding behind your computer or smart device. You have no right to bully or harm someone in person either. Like the other day, this woman physically attacked my 21-year-old daughter outside a church my sons attend for Sunday school. This woman threatened to rip my youngest son's head off. She said to my daughter, "if your brother gets in my jeep again, I'll rip his head off." My son is 11 years old also with disabilities. He did NOTHING wrong to this woman, he had gotten a ride to Sunday school with her husband that morning and their son because they're best friends. This woman is NOT mentally stable. She's so mentally incompetent she should be locked away in a mental institution. She didn't even go to church that day! She walked there just to start shit knowing my son and either myself or my daughter would be there. After my daughter responded with "No you won't" This woman LUNGED at my daughter trying to CHOKE her!! My daughter bitch slapped this woman twice in the face and pushed her away yelling, "Don't fucking touch me!! WTF?!?" Then my daughter went into the church visibly upset, tears in her eyes and told the elders what had happened. I called this woman's husband, told him what happened and that it was NOT okay that this woman in her 60's put her hands on a 21-year-old girl, that she's is psycho and our children will NOT be friends any longer. The elders of the church have banned her from going there and I will NOT allow my children to attend that church any longer. I don't feel they're safe at this church because of this woman who is either off her meds or on some serious drugs. The worst part, she has an 11-year-old son herself. I now understand why her husband is NEVER home and why he is always taking their son out of the house to do things away from her. She obviously is not fit to be around or alone with their son. It's too bad too because our kids were really good friends and he's a really nice kid. My son is just heartbroken he can't see his best friend anymore and I am FURIOUS she threatened my son, attacked my daughter and my son lost a good friend.
My son is a sweet boy, he didn't deserve this woman to be so cruel towards him and to have his best friend ripped away from him because of her disgusting, selfishness. Karma will come back around and bite her HARD in the ass one day, it always does.
My question is, why did a woman in her 60's feel she had any right to A) give my daughter who is 21 any kind of attitude? B) feel she had the right to put her hands on my daughter? C) Felt she had the right to threaten an 11-year-old boy and D) lash out over nothing in a public place where our children attend for Sunday school? She had NO right to do any of these things. No one ever does. No one has the right to put their hands on any person at any time. Our bodies are our temples and they should be respected. She is just lucky my daughter and I didn't press charges against her ass. The ONLY reason we did not is that I respect her husband and her son would be devastated.
In a world that is so hard to live in, we need to be so much kinder and respectful to one another. We need to stop passing on all this negativity and hate. We need to stop bullying, abusing and being so cruel to others just because we can. In reality, we really can NOT be so cruel and mean to one another, it's too damaging. I'm not perfect, I've done and said some hurtful things myself and I regret most of it. Some of it was well deserved but mostly, it wasn't and I carry around this guilt for saying and doing things people really didn't deserve. I really do my very best to think before I speak and act, I know how harmful my words can be. We should ALL do that a lot more.
