Wow I just had a family member call me slurs and stupid because I'm from the South, because I told him he should be more compassionate when people die from organ failure. I don't normally get upset when people call me names, but I'm actually crying right now. I've been called every bad word under the sun and I thought being called names wouldn't affect me anymore but for some reason this did.
He said I was being negative, that I was ignorant, uneducated, ill-informed and stupid. That I can't talk to him about compassion until I've worked 12 hour shifts for days while watching people die, and that just because I have friends in the medical field I can't use their experiences for propaganda and my agenda.
Again all because I told him that as a nurse he should be more compassionate for people and not mock their death and loved ones online. I can't tell you how much I am growing to hate people in the medical field now, yes I understand they are overworked, under paid and under appreciated but is it so much to ask that the people who take care of us when we are at our worse have compassion for those who die?
I hate the world we live in now. I hate that people are so angry. I hate that people are so ready to attack others because they disagree with them. I hate that just because people don't have a college education that they are treated like they are stupid. I fucking hate that people treat me like I'm ignorant and an idiot all because of the region of the country I'm from. I hate this world and I fucking hate everyone who contributes to this anger and bullshit.
