Been Thinking Lately...
I have this friend who posted her picture on a public Facebook page, and she messaged me sort of late at night with a link to the picture with all of its comments, so I look through them, as she was not the kind to message me for no reason at ten o'clock when I had to get up in the morning for school.
So I look through the comments. They were horrible. A great many commented on her being "ugly" and "looking funny", and how people felt bad for "her friends that had to look at her."
I felt like crying for my friend, right then, because I couldn't imagine getting that kind of response from complete strangers.
So I started thinking, after comforting her and laying down to sleep, and I began to wonder what kind of person you had to be to say something like that. I'm highly aware that some people feel a sort of invincibility on the internet, enabling them to say things that maybe they wouldn't say if you were face to face, but at the same time, why?
It's strange for me to think that people would say something horrible to another human being, when there is nobody that I know who would at all be okay with somebody calling them "ugly."
"Treat unto others the you wish to be treated, ".... Right?
