Why

I’m going through a stage of “is there any good in the world”. I know there is but it makes me wonder sometimes at what people can do to each other. I was listening to someone today saying about eating at a restaurant. She was describing a man as looking like a big green frog with rolls of fat who was eating at the same restaurant. He was wearing a green shirt, which was how the comparison with the frog came about. Now, didn’t that man have every right to eat at the restaurant without being laughed at? Even if it wasn’t obvious laughing in front of him, why does this person have to be mentioned in conversation as an object of ridicule? I’m overweight so when I go out to eat, am I going to be the object of someone’s conversation?

I just don’t think people think before they say things. They don’t look at the people around them and wonder if it will offend anyone. Why does there have to be people in the world who will belittle others and make their life as hard as they can? Why does there have to be people who won’t accept others for how they are? They have to try and squash that person down because for some reason they just can’t let other people be. I know there are always going to be bullies in the world but I fail to understand them.

I was looking at a picture of a poor little dog that was in an advertisement for an animal welfare organization. It just tugged at my heartstrings that anyone could pick on something so defenceless. The dog in this ad just looks as if it is thinking, what have I done wrong? It struck me that the world is sometimes a really shitty place. People are so judgemental of others instead of just letting people get on with their lives. They don’t stop to think of the person behind the judgement.

I know there are good people out there. I know there are. It’s just been a shit of a week and I’m left shaking my head at what some people can do to others. For no reason that makes sense.
