I’ve been seeing people insulting other people around me lately on social networks. Just to have something to do or to have fun. Maybe because of social pressure. Or they just need to condemn. I understand that in some cases this is probably the only possible way. But it seems rude to me to do this to someone who doesn’t hurt anyone else and If they do, they’re still a very simple target for wolves. It puts me in the mood, when I’m really sorry that the world is like that.

Ondra has been teaching me all summer how people cannot be judged, how not to laugh at anyone, and he has set a bar somewhere inside my head that I don’t like to cross or skip. Sometimes I still do it, but I’m working on improvements because it won’t take one whole summer for it to work. It will take several more years to master this skill. But I shouldn’t condemn, at least not the people who do not deserve it, to whom others are pouring ash on their heads.

Maybe it’s age. Sometimes I quietly look into groups on Facebook, which are directly designed for that. It probably doesn’t do my health good. Where there are so much ridicule and resentment that members spit around. Scary to horror.

Spaghetti with nutella

A friend of mine sent me a photo of spaghetti with Nutella – without any background. And my head just said: „Hey dude, if you were, I don’t know, stoned and you had munchies, it would be good wouldn’t it?“

But then he sent me that he had it from the group. From the group where someone sent it as a mockery. And the comments below the post were just the comments below the post, and my head suddenly came up and said „Hey dude, are you weird?“ „What would they think of you?“ „If I wanted to join the group and be accepted, would I have to join in and insult?“

And how many people actually ask themselves these questions, and how many of them actually spill over to the side of the haters due to social pressure just so that they are not excluded from the group?
