Stop the Madness...
I am shocked by the amount of nastiness I've read in the past couple of days. People who feel completely justified in their rude, mean-spirited behavior. Granted, I'm not all warm and fuzzy. Most of those closest to me would describe me as somewhat gruff. But the stupid, immature, petty, nasty words people have been flinging about is just heartbreakingly sad. (Did I make that word up?)
All in all, it's yet another reminder of why I keep the circle of people in my life minute. There are to many soul sucking nasties in the world that spit their venom with self-righteous fervor, and way to many people cheering them on. It's really painful to realize that as a species there are more than a few still willing to cheer when someone has been thrown to the lions. Funny thing is, those willing to join in the hate are the first to scream foul when the tide turns toward them.
I shudder to think what they teach their children when it comes time to learn lessons of love, compassion, and common decency.
