I took a week to observe some interesting posts and comments in the web. I noticed some of it are very inspiring and most are really mean especially on the comments section. I couldn't imagine anything more hateful than those couple of sentences. I understand that each of us look at things at our own perspective, we see different, we think different. Words matters.
I don't know if it's just me, a born Asian who are normally conservative and put down but I don't find using harsh words on the web is a norma here. Is it because they're more comfortable to express their anger that way or they got influenced with some sort of culture. Do their parents know they're using these words in the internet? Did their parents taught them to use those words when they're in anger? I'm just confused.
Recently, I read a post of a friend of mine. I'm not sure if that post was to make the society feel bad or make them bleed but she was complaining about something. It was a paragraph long post, with lots and lots of cursing. For a second I thought, "this girl needs to go for confession".
I know it was not intended for me but just by reading it, I felt an instant mood swing. I was in a happy mood, hoping to get inspired and motivated but I got a very harsh post (in the morning) that I know is not for me but for someone she was annoyed at, but its bad for the society. What I mean is, when you use these kind of words in daily, people willl slowly take them lightly. They will think that it's okay to use this kind of words in the web, they think they are short listed in the 'cool' list, they think they'll get thousands of likes, they think the people reading it will somehow feel a slight bump in the heart even if it's not for them, they will tend to use those words outside of media which it's really bad especially when you're working with people or even in school.
I don't see how putting all those negative energy is necessary. There are more pleasant things to say in the internet, that could make someone else's day even yourself better. Say nice words. People say ingnore and don't bother, but if we keep letting them be this way, when else can we hear good stuffs out of people. We need positivity.
Put it this way : You give good things, you get double good things. You give bad things, you get double bad things.
This post is not intended to offense anyone but to remind ourselves to spread goodness instead of hate. Use nice words instead of harsh words. Be kind to people, you never know what they've been through.
Hope something helps.
Xoxo,
Me.
