Hating this ugly world

[Bookmama20]

So much ugly in the world today. You can't speak your mind or try to support anyone without people jumping all over you. The world is just an angry place lately. Makes me sad.

Bookmama, it is sad in how ugly the world has turned. On the other side of the coin,

are all the good people who have made themselves known by all they do for their

fellow mankind. So many to thank and be grateful for. Those who were always in

the background. We expected it but did we appreciate them as we do now?

If anything comes out of our experience this 2020, is that it was a learning period for us to realize that we need each other more than ever. The world is getting smaller but we are

getting more distant. And that was before the Pandemic. And yet, I am hopeful that because of what we've been through, it will eventually bring us closer. xx

Agree completely. Conversations are very intense. You start to look at people differently. You have to defend your innocent actions; because people want to think bad. Thank you and please, never hear those anyone. And when was the last time someone asked, “hey you okay? Everything good?”

I hear you. It gets to me sometimes how some people will write some absolute terrible things online that they would never say to your face. But good people are still out there. I think a lot of times they're the quieter souls that simply do not choose to participate in a conversation where they can see it's not heading in a constructive place. I've learned the hard way sometimes just to not engage!!!

Hi 👋 it’s Shnookie. I understand what U R saying, but I have stood up and been proactive and stated my beliefs when I think it is important. This is why I have been in grassroots volunteer work on and off since I was 7 years old selling chocolate bars for my Hebrew school class. Within the last few months , I was reading an online posting about a Virtual Japanese themed art exhibition in Los Angeles.

The art that was presented online was

beautiful. Someone commented that art can be only be appreciated by being

seen in person and then made some snide

remark about people who had left leaning

political views. I was not pleased by these remarked. In part I responded by stating

that art can be appreciated in various ways

That in our politically toxic country Asians

had been unfairly targeted re COVID including physical attacks. He came back with another nasty 🤢 remark and I

responded back. Fortunately he shut his mouth after this.

It is important you know when to walk away if the person does not know how to appreciate your kindness and support. Sad to say life is hard and people seem to always act what is in it for me and can turn back onto you your help and understanding.

Remember if you are in any way Empath people look upon that as a weakness and do not understand what you are wanting to achieve and help them.

Move on and know when to walk away
