As Humans, We're In A Bad Place

I don't know what prompted me to write this post, but I just had to.

I'm surfing the web and reading online about what people consider fat, what they consider pretty and just a lot of other stuff. Then I'm watching all of these "pseudo" celebrities online who think they're bigger than what they are. They're talking about people like dog, not caring about the lies and damage they're causing because they're trying to stay relevant.

Now, that's not to say that we don't all talk about folks from time to time or have our opinion about the way someone may look. But, there's a difference in voicing your personal opinion and moving on and making it your life's mission to bad mouth people and making others' lives a living hell.

Maybe I'm getting soft in my old age, but I don't really think so. I've always tried to be considerate of others (even then they didn't deserve it and/or I mistakenly treated them wrong). It just seems to be the way of the world these days, and I'm wondering if things will ever change back.

It makes me scared as I grow older because the people who are doing this are raising children. What are these children going to grow up to be like? What will the world be like if we have nothing but a bunch of people talking about other people and being shallow?

Just "talking out loud" I suppose.
