So I wish I could say that the title of this post was some witty line I just came up with but it's not. Instead, it's a line from Be A Light by Thomas Rhett and it's the driving force behind this late night post. I used to be one of those people who would just casually read others comments on select postings on social media sites, mainly Facebook, but lately I've found myself chiming in more then ever before!
I've discovered that there is just so much stupidity, negativity and down right arrogant people in this world it makes me sick. Take for instance our state Governor. Say what you will, I think he has done a pretty good job at trying to keep this state and it's people safe. Yes I know businesses are hurting, the economy is failing but this virus is taking grip on it's citizens and if we're not careful it could impact us harder than most experts forecasted.
But anyways, back to my original point. Some of these peoples comments about how he sucks, he has no clue what he's doing and that we should just go about our normal day are just utterly disturbing! I know everyone's situation is different but if some ass hole were to walk by me while let's say grocery shopping and cough without any sort of protection on, I'd have the urge to beat the shit out of the guy! I have a 3 year old & a pregnant wife at home, and this is why taking every precaution I can is of the utmost importance to me.
There are far too many people not taking this seriously and it pisses the living hell out of me. There will never be another event like this in most of our lifetimes and the negativity people are displaying to those in power who make these decisions is just down right horrible. Yes, I know it's a free country and I might piss some people off with this comment, but am I proud to be an American? At the moment, I'm disgusted to be associated with some of this countries citizens. No one could of known how to deal with this, I don't care who you are. But to attack people on a daily basis just down right proves to me which I've been feeling for years, not just recently, that this world is full of selfish, arrogant and down right disgusting human beings.
People have told me, put yourself in the shoes of someone not fortunate enough to be working and you know what my response is--I'd have to find a way to make it! I will stand up and shout from my roof top that I think the Governor of this state is doing an incredible job and am hoping this Stay at Home Order continues as long as it needs to because as I said, the safety of my family comes above all else. I have posted that on social media only to be attacked by those whose opinion differs then mine. I'll reply in kind, but then there are times where I find myself wanting to question their intelligence. I don't cause I'm not gonna publicly berate someone like that.
To quote Thomas Rhett, 'In a world full of hate be a light.' This world could use a heavy dose of a bright light right now instead of it being consumed by darkness. This world will survive, but sadly, there are those who won't learn anything from this because they live in their tiny little bubbles. I am grateful each and every day that my family and I are healthy and safe and those around me are the same.
Let's all try to put our blinders up to hate & remember what's important during times like these!
