None of this happened to me, I'm just ranting... and wondering what is going on lately with people and thinking they're just so entitled. Some celebs... yes I can understand. The whole 'Speidi' debacle (yes I watched the Hills - *points and laughs at self*)...and then there's just regular people out there who feel the need to make drama cause they're bored!
Two lovely people in the knitting community who create lovely things ... both different but they're doing so many good things for so many people. One had a health issue, the other a server issue... and people feel the need to send hate mail/complain incessantly. It's yarn, an event, what have you... people work really hard to do things for others and all they receive is impatience and a total lack of compassion??!!
I'm beginning to feel very naive again, especially when these kinds of things happen. I like to believe that people are good and they're equipped with understanding and empathy... most of the time, I'm right, but then I hear stories about this kind of thing, it just reminds me of all the more important things in the world that are going on and these people are complaining about how they didn't obtain something, or get to go somewhere, or didn't receive their possessions on time... I don't know, try not knowing if you'll be able to eat today, or not getting medicine that'll save your family.
I know, those are extremes, but maybe some people need to reflect on that, and move on. They have a better life than they think and should be grateful for it.
Sorry to get deep but just some things people are going through are bugging me.
