I noticed that people are judging everything around them - the younger generation being on a moral decline, the elder generation being assholes, companies being selfish, their government being twerps, the people sharing alternative perspectives being twerps, etc. And it almost doesn't matter which side of an issue one either, there's someone judging and almost making it a matter of you're-either-with-me-or-against-me* > >*I can't recall many people who bothered asking themselves "What can I do?"* > >*I admit I'm guilty of passing judgment too (anyone who isn't is probably lying) but perhaps we need to re-look how we view the events that transpire around us. Perhaps it's a signal that people are having such a hard time with their own lives that they have little to no capacity left to deploy empathy.* > >*One thing I realised though is that prolonged exposure to such sentiments are infectious. I may have to mute those people or follow those folks from a different account where I can then decide when I want to be exposed to such negative sentiments.* [[Blog - Home|< Return to Blog - Home]] --- To have a conversation with me about this note, email me at [email protected] To understand why I chose to use email over comments, [[Why I'm using email instead of comments|read this]].
