In
my personal opinion the scale for someone to act like a friend, or just a
humane person in general has drastically been altered… Everywhere I look it’s
just another group of people picking on the new kid, or ignoring someone
because they’re different, be it race, gender, age, etc…People don’t seem to
realize the effect just one comment could have on a person’s life. They don’t know
what is going on with them, how could they? So what gives them the right to
destroy someone’s confidence by making fun of them when in fact no one is
perfect. What gives them the right to decide what is imperfect about someone
and completely blow it out of proportion? Nothing. No one has the right to do
that to anyone. You don’t like them? So what. Unless they have given you a
reason to not like them everyone deserves a fair shot. After they use up their
chance it’s reasonable to not want to associate with them, but do that, don’t go
around talking behind their backs and poking fun at them. I have seen friendships,
relationships, and families destroyed because someone has said the wrong thing
to another person and ruined that persons trust in them. Start a clean slate
with everyone you meet, don’t just dislike them because someone you know
dislikes them. Try and be the bigger person and forgive someone. Just try and be
a better person. Im not saying go out and do something drastic and huge like
world peace but even the littlest of things help. Just the other day I told
someone they looked nice and you should have seen how they beamed with
happiness. Complimenting someone is a good start, then progress from there. Remember
nobody is perfect. It’s impossible…Just be you.
