Something

"Something has really been bothering me lately. I am utterly amazed at how people have changed. How they have become so self-centered and uncaring, so ungrateful but greedy, so spiteful and vengeful. I don't get it. Used to, people did for others expecting nothing in return. They did out of the goodness of their hearts. They would never do anything to intentionally hurt someone, they considered the other person's feelings and thought before they spoke. Social media has put a monitor between people. We all look at the world now on a screen and that screen doesn't have feelings. So some think. There is a saying, 'What would God do?' Well, he would never be unkind or selfish, never greedy or jealous, never uncaring and self-centered. God gave his only Son to save the world so why is it that we can't try and behave in the same manner as God? Why have we, as a society turned on each other, become mean, concerned only about 'me' and personal gain? God doesn't like that. We are to 'Do unto other's as you would have them do unto you.' So if we want people to be nice to us? Be nice to them. If we want people to be happy for us? Be happy for them. If we want people to respect us? Then respect them. It's really quite simple. Life is way too short to see how mad we can make someone, how we can hurt someone, how we can spite someone, how we can not consider someone else in our actions and decisions. We are none perfect but we are to strive to be. Passing judgment, wishing 'karma' on people, being unforgiving, is not striving to be. Actions speak louder than words and we can tell a lot about someone just by the way they act, regardless of what they are saying. I think we should all think on this. Remember, 'Never pass up the chance to tell someone you love them and never go to bed angry. Tomorrow is not promised and may never come.'" ~ Annette Samford :)
