WE DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT to call/insult anyone as miserable/poor/broke… and leave them on that same spot. What have we actually done to alleviate their miseries? Other than constantly remind them how miserable their lives are? Maybe we think we have the right to insult them (just maybe), but WE DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT to insult and not proffer solution(s) to aid their miseries. What are we doing to better their lives? Other than the constant reminder of how miserable their present statuses are? WE DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT!
WE DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT to call someone FAT, call our fellow others LEAN without having a hand at any point in time to aid their condition in improving their stature (ONLY IF they want a change of their body themselves). It’s their body, never will it be ours. Body-Shaming others are demeaning, we should leave people to discover (with our kind words) how to better their self-esteem and grow into loving their beautiful selves.
WE DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT to blame/insult people who couldn’t at some point carry our responsibilities (as if we can’t be responsible for ourselves). The fact that they couldn’t tend to our needs at a certain point doesn’t give us the right to rant ‘ferociously’ all out on them. If we were to be all alone in the universe, we’d all have to at one way or the other improvise and tend to our needs, ourselves. WE DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT to vent our ‘ignorant’ anger on those that are equally better than us because we feel a sense of entitlement to all they own. If it was that easy as we’ve been thinking towards them, we should be leading by that example too. Factually enough, no one was created on this earth to actually feed anyone.
If our utterances to people would be cruel and inhumane, best we leave them to their miseries through our silence instead of compounding it.
Reasons for a lot of depression and suicidal cases escalating as each day goes by. Not that the people these ‘ills’ effect don’t really speak out before they themselves put their lights out, but how about the utterances of those they spoke to before their demise? Kind or Cruel?
WE DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT to hurt anyone with our cruel utterances. That’s a heart on the other side that feels and has emotions like us. WE DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT.
How did we become like this? It’s a question all and sundry have to put to themselves and check. Sad how injuries/injustices happen to someone that bleeds as us and the first instinct is to get the camera up for a post on the ‘gram’. Where’s our humane conscience to help the needy? Heal the hurt instead of compounding their miseries with our dampening words and acts?
Words affect us differently from one another. Watch your words towards a soul that feels like you. Because we are of thick-skin’s today doesn’t mean the tables can’t turn tomorrow.
WE DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT!
