Sometimes the things that once used to impress become unimpressive

Over the past little while I have begun to realize what the main goals of most human beings are. They are selfish, self-centered, and oblivious to the world outside of their immediate surroundings; and have no admiration for anyone who disagrees with them on even the smallest scale.
The world is filled with enough anguish of its own without needless name-calling and backstabbing to intensify it. Honestly, what do a few harmful worlds now have to contribute to the world’s gravitational pull?
Next time you feel like taking pleasure in the degrading of someone else’s fashion sense, beliefs, morals, religion, intelligence, financial standings, sexual orientation, friends, family, etc. ask yourself: in 100 years… in even 10 minutes… will this really have made that great of an impact on my life to be equivalent to the time it took out of it?
We all strive to attain the ‘good’ life. We all think we can only achieve this by stepping on people we find to be inferior to us. If we could all learn to praise what others do right instead of belittling them whenever we can, we could all be living a much more satisfying life.


Fact of the day: I didn't want to go through this again.
