I agree but i posted it because of the way she just casually threw them away. I mean...i just...what can i say....
Everythings wrong with this world.
Next time, don't bother.
This doesn't benefit anyone. All it does is create a consistent image for anyone coming to this site, that the entire planet is going to Hell in a
handbasket. It's a skewed, distorted, and totally one sided image. There is a lot of good being done in the world as well, but you'd never know
it, coming here.
Take some responsibility for how your actions are likely to affect someone else's mental health; and try also asking yourself, whether or not
something that you're going to post here, will actually create a more positive impression of the world around them, or whether or not it's just doom
porn.
I know I might seem to be coming across as harsh here, but something I've been realising recently, is that our single biggest problem as a species,
is not what is actually happening in the world, in and of itself. What is really important is how we react to it, and our mental and emotional
state.
By posting articles like this, you're not contributing anything positive to our perception or understanding of the world. All you're doing is
giving people reason to be even more depressed or angry than they might be already, due to something which they can do nothing about.
