I have gone down a bit of the proverbial rabbit hole gathering research on comments. Specifically comments that are left on people’s ‘social’ pages.
I find many that are comical, endearing, and heartfelt. Some have even given me the warm & fuzzies to the point where I’ve had to reach for a tissue or two to dab at my tears & feels.
But.
there are many “comments” that have made me question (a dozen times or more) this thing called Humanity.
There are some, No, many that have left horrific mind-numbing insults and character assassinations on people’s posts that have at times left me shocked, sad & searching for…. ???
well, I’m not sure what.
I have on occasion asked complete strangers (to me) why they would say those vicious words to anyone, especially someone they don’t know, I’ve only ever gotten one reply back & that was an incorrectly spelled (on purpose ?) Eff U. 🙃
Nuff said.
Why tho’ ?
If I, who is not even the target of these vicious messages feel ugly & dirty when & after reading them, what on earth is going through the heart, mind & soul of the intended ?
I can only imagine.
I know there have been many days-months-years that looking in the mirror at my self-hate shame & loathing have been overwhelming & have pulled me to my knees many a time, so,
me, myself & I could never wantingly inflict those same pains onto someone else & as a result, I asked myself that same mirror’d question up above.
My answer is Yes, I have looked at my reflection & hurled nasty comments at it.
My answer is No. I would never purposely practice hurting someone, anyone to make me feel superior & less small.
