Every day, thanks to Social Media sites, I get to see a lot of people making a lot of assumptions. It is disturbing to read/hear the way people think of others. So much judgement and assumption happening. It astounds me at times how it is that people can’t see what they do. Why not take a step back and look in the mirror. Or better yet, browse through your Facebook page or Twitter Feed for past posts and see who you really are.
Do you like what you see? I hope so. It is so important for us to like…no, love, who we are!
Ya know I do not say this because I think we are hurting so many people with our words (although we definitely could be), it is more about US. We are worthy of being a better person, we are worthy of love and I think by posting so much judgement and hate on public social sites we deprive our self of the love we are so deserving of.
Rather than posting judgmental comments, (which in a lot of cases is to assume the heart and true feelings of others without even asking if this is really the way they feel) maybe take time to get to know someone. This is one area where Social Media sites have failed! We have so many “friends” but do we really know them? Are they truly friends?
I must point out here that not all of the posts I see may, at first, come across as judgement or hate filled. But when pointed at mass amounts of people, it certainly could prove to come across that way. But now I am crossing over into my other favorite topic, consideration of others…..
Look in the mirror folks. Love what you see.

I try to smile while I type. It really is not easy to say mean things when you are smiling unless, I suppose, you are really a mean spirited person. I think some people don’t realize how their words would sound if spoken.
That is a good thing to do!! And I agree Francine, I really think if people could hear the way the things they write and or speak sound, they would think twice! Maybe we all should smile while typing!
Thank you for visiting and commenting!
