Your Way
I go on Twitter almost everyday. I simply scroll through my timeline just to see what's new and to find videos that make me laugh. Many people, like myself, constantly tweet how happy they are in their life or how that video of the little kid dancing made their day. I think social media brings joy to users. I know when I am feeling down, I can go to my likes on Twitter and find that thread of hilarious vines and just watch them until I feel better, however, it's social media. It's not always fun and games and laughs and positivity. There has been some serious anger and craziness take place. But when I see someone tweet "I don't understand how _______" or "I don't get how this person can do this or that" I can't help but think to myself how YOU DONT NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE REASON SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING IF IT DOESNT INVOLVE YOU. They are not wrong for living their lives the way they want to even if their morals are completely different from yours. To get into it more specially, a while back I remember a girl discussing how she didn't understand how girls can hook up with multiple guys. A guy responded to her and told her that every woman is entitled to their own body and she didn't need to understand what she did with her body. I don't think I'll ever forget that. I'm not going lie, I used to ask myself why would someone want to do something and seeing that opened my eyes into trying not judge people and not caring what others did with their own lives because it had nothing to do with me. Now, this doesn't mean either that when I do come across people who declare they don't understand, I don't judge them and think they're narrow minded. They probably just have not taken into consideration the circumstances.

I kind of understand where your coming from, many people can judge others just based on what they have heard or seen. I used to not understand how some people could act in a certain way or do something we've all see as "wrong", hence your statement about a girl hooking up with multiple guys. I always try to see both sides of the situation, a person can't truly understand some else unless they have been in their shoes. Someone you may think is weird or bad could be someone totally opposite of your thoughts. I believe there is a reason for every action a person makes, we're all trying to achieve our goals so we shouldn't focus on other people's actions but ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Sally! I know there are many people, and often times there are situations where I do not understand things as well, but I think the fact that we are at least making an effort to not be so hard on them and to not be so judgemental is good; benefits our thinking and while being as a person.
