Respect


A lot of things have happen in the world in this past days, weeks, months and even years, if you have been a long reader, you know that I never adress any of them, not because I don't care, but because I know that there's people out there that don't share my opinion and as much as I love a good discussion, most of the time you only get invalid arguments and hateful comments.
We live in world were having an opinion is becoming a problem, if you don't share an opinion with the majority you are screwed, they think that you need to change the way you think, live, love, to fit their mold.
I've seen many people trying to push their opinion into other people, being active in social media, I see it a lot, people thinking that just because it's through a screen, people are not going to get hurt by the things you are saying or the way you're attacking them.
We all have the right to have an opinion and express it, but that doesn't mean that you can hurt other people with your comments, and this is not only about you sexual orientation, religion or even who you are voting for, it's about everything.
Everyday I see more and more people standing up and trying to stop hateful comments not only towards themselves for towards people they love or that are close to them and it shouldn't be like that, I don't get why we have to criticize every movement others make.
I've been in both sides, I know how it feels to criticize someone, but I also know how bad it feels when you get criticized, you are left with this bitter taste in your mouth, it's something I wish no one would experience.
Hating people for who they love, what they believe in, what they do for work or even what they eat is wrong, we all love, we all believe in something, we all work/study, we all eat, then why do we feel the need to hate someone that's not doing the same as us? Do we really want to live in a monotonous were we all do the same?
We need to create our own opinion of things, we need to research, to see things, to live in order to be able to say things, we never know when are we going to be on the other side of the spectrum, suffering from comments.
We need to learn when it's okay to say things and how to say them, there's a huge difference between expressing your opinion in a polite way and just hating on someone and everything they do, or hating on a group of people.
The world needs to learn to respect others even if they don't share your opinion, let everyone be who they want to be, love who they want to love, believe in who they want to believe, do what they want to do, go where they want to go, vote for whoever they want to vote, just be the person who they want to be.
No one deserves to be treated like that, people are going to respect you if you respect them, why not give what we think we deserve?
