We live in world were status and reaching the top of the social ladder means a lot to people, but the process of getting there makes me sick. The things people say to each other or about each other is disturbing and makes me hurt not only for the person it’s directed at but it brings back the painful memories of when those words were once directed at me.
We all have our stories and the shit that’s happened to us in our lives, but people don’t take the time to hear each others stories. It took me to come online and search for a place were people were willing to listen because the rest of the world shut its door in my face and decided to make its snide comments on the other side while I stood there still able to hear the giggles and toxic words spill out their mouths.
I’m not a saint but I’ve made a promise to myself and that’s to look passed peoples exteriors and look deeper to the cause of their cruelty. We all have that feeling of pain that lingers within us, but do we have to use that pain as a weapon? I get that there are people out there that are just plain assholes and we can’t change that.
Basically the reason I thought I chose post this is because I see and hear people all the time trying to put each other down, I’ve even seen it on this sight, a so called escape from the cruelty out there. We know how it feels to be in that dark place and to hear those under the table comments about us, we don’t need to inflict that kind of pain onto someone else. i don’t mean to preach but I’m just getting tired of seeing this happen around me and if one of you has read my post I’ve done enough. I can’t make the world perfect and make everyone hold hands to sing kumbaya, but one less person hurting in the world would be a great thing.
If you understand your own pain, surely you can imagine someone else’s, lets just think before we push some to that ledge because that’s what has been done to me.
