Should people be kinder these days?

Question

Everywhere you look, there is anger and hatred. It seems like the whole world is stuck in the mud. I myself have bad days but jeez. Or am I wrong?

Well for sure we are stuck in mud. Damn done buried the truck LOL.. I kind of look at it like this

I absolutely hate it
And the reason why I hate it is because that means somebody has broken the chain. our destiny in life is to become one with self one with others one with this universe that means we are all one.
And when you have somebody out of line that means they break the chain

We were all giving rules to follow if we don't follow them this is what's going to happen blah blah blah.

We were all given a gift in life when we were born and that gift is choice

We get to choose who we want to be in life by the things that we say and that we do and that's who we become that's who we are each and every single one of us

I can't control you you can't control me so on down the road

Depending on what you believe in. You can be kind and hope that it rubs off on people
Or you could be a follower in the jackass and let people follow you and do the same thing you're doing I choose to be myself I choose to be kind

One of the reasons why I like gag and I come here and I've been here for all these years I get to watch people grow I get to watch new people come in and act like jackasses

I've watched them the Little women I watched them act like fools

In a period of time they kind of see how things are and they kind of straighten their s*** up and they start acting like a human being and they understand that they don't have to put on that front that badass whoever they're portraying and they become a kind of gentler person that is each one of us that answer the questions the way we do the way we respect each other is what teaches these jackasses to not be so much of a jackass anymore so you just keep doing what you're doing and hopefully somebody will follow you and I'll do the same thing and hopefully somebody will follow me I'm not trying to say that I'm right but I'm not saying that I'm wrong either good question thank you

There is definitely a lot of rage. The culture wars are being propped up by right wing billionaires who don't want to pay their taxes. If they ever just decided to pay their fair share, the anger would lose its fuel and we'd be back to normal within a decade.

No, what you are experiencing is true. In fact, me nths ago I heard that people were going to stop being nice to other people, and they weren't going to help them anymore either.

My next door neighbor who is disabled and in an electric scooter moved into the apartment next door to me. He has lived here for probably 10 years. People told them they would help him move into his new place just down the hall. Come moving day no one came to help him! My boyfriend did go over and help the day before he died. But the maintenance man said he would help and No showed. I mean, even if you're crippled and confined to a chair people won't help you.
Even my caregiver I've had for three years always comes over in a bad mood. She doesn't say why, but her attitude stresses me out. She used to seem somewhat happy and would smile and say hi and talk to me, but not anymore. I asked her if I did something wrong. She said if you ever do something wrong, I'll tell you.
I worked with a lady like that. She used to drag her moodiness with her everywhere. Then ince in a while she would crack a smile.
People don't realize how much a nice smile means to someone; and how a moody person can actually put other people around them in a bad mood when they were happy until old grouchy came here.

i was around your age during the great financial crisis. probably asking the same question as you. but now that i'm adult, grown up, and dealing with this next possible great financial crisis, i know why people act like this. you have no idea how the world is really doing. sure you may see it. but you can't really experience it since you're only a teen who doesn't have too much responsibility in life. it's extremely hard to be happy right now. with inflation, hard to even have a place to live, can barely afford much... it's no surprise people are angry and expressing hatred. in a decade or 2, you'll understand why.

You're not wrong, people have gotten off track with how to treat other people. Unless someone provokes you, there should be nothing but kindness and respect.

All the anger and hatred takes way more energy than a little kindness and understanding. Usually makes your day way better when you meet someone with those qualities.

It's easy to wallow in the mud. To let the current conditions get you down. It's much more difficult to say, "What can I do to help myself and others out of this situation?" That's what a good man or woman does. With courage and kindness.

Since 2015-2016 until now, if you notice people have so much road rage, people no longer smile, one time some girl, checking my items out in Walmart, told me if you want to steal go ahead and do so. That's one thing I do not shop lift anything I leave the store with is bought with money… These people since the start of the pandemic also got worst so many stories that make no sense and politics have made people meaner I wish I knew what is wrong.

Should people be kinder? No. People should be treating people the way they they deserve to be treated.

BarryLiverstone · Answer

People can post hatred online and get away with it. But irl, hugs are golden. Be sure to give out 10 hugs a day and if everyone started to do that we would all feel loved.

Still-alive · Answer

Would be great yeah but unfortunately its not as simple as just switching off a light switch to stop people from being angry and hating.

Anonymous · Answer

It funny but those who keep telling people to 'be kind' usually turn out to be those who are the least kind, especially to any who do not share their world view.

Mansearching · Answer

Yes. We need to be. Plus understanding. In which no one is doing.

NeverGiveUp69 · Answer

Yeah 100%. To many people live in an individualistic mindset. We live in groups/communities, we should act more like communities

Jerre · Answer

You are right, people should be kinder, but in todays world it seems many people are full of hatred.

Up until about three years ago. At least half the population was happy. During the past three years. None of the population is happy!  I’ll let you determine why I say that!
