Being Thoughtful

Dear World,

Everyone has their trials and tribulations in life; they're needed to help a person grow spiritually and mentally. Nowadays with the fast pace of the world the trials come quicker and never seem to end. This is distressing in many ways. We used to go over to a friends house or call them up to talk it out. Now we seem to turn to social media for our outlet. Having an outlet is a very good thing because it releases that tension and frustration. Facebook is one of the main resources for clearing mental frustration. You get to connect with fellow people who will agree with you, but there's also people who will only add to the negativity. Those are the people that make using social media as an outlet a downfall. In times of trials you need people who are going to say encouraging things, not rude remarks or snarky comments. In my opinion that only adds to your negative emotions already. Instead, how about trying a positive approach.

Someone said something mean to your friend and she posted it on Facebook? Don't call the person a f-ing idiot. How about telling your friend that mean people say mean things, but you have to consider the source. Just try a more positive approach instead of being negative; being fuel to the fire. Hopefully you'll find that it uplifts your friend and doesn't make you look like a fool on social media for bashing someone.

Just a simple suggestion from a rather simple-minded view point.
