Ridicule.

Why is it that we, the human race known as the most intellectual creatures on this earth, insist on going through such silly things. Why is it that we all can not comprehend the fact that saying hurtful things actually means something. Why is it that we hate people we barely even know? Or even maybe we don't hate them. Maybe it just makes us feel like we're bigger than them. Putting someone else down makes up for our own insecurities. As you can tell from some of my other blogs I spend a majority of my time just observing people. It's amazing how cruel people are to one another. I know that it is impossible to like everyone you know around you. But why must we lash out as so? And I often wonder, "Where is the voice spoken in defense for them?". I often hear mutilating words. But very rarely do I hear a startling proclaiming bravery of standing up for a fellow person. We all just sit back and watch, basically condoning everything said or done. Is it really this hard to get along? The most degrading thing to watch is the people that are in "Rachael' Challenge" act as so. When you take an oath to act a certain way, people do watch and see if you will commit. And when you don't, people are not surprized and their hope dies even more. If a high school can't even get along what hope is there for world peace? Maybe if we all thought before we spoke we wouldn't be as rude, disrespectful, or ridiculing. It's a small thing to do. But are you willing to accept a tiny challenge? Sadly not many would. but if just a few people did, it would be a start, and a start is more worthwhile then a step back.
