RE: Cool or Clueless? The Wannabe Rudes!
I get your frustration!
You know, I've been having similar thoughts, a few weeks ago, I was watching the news and saw a bit of a similar behavior by a youngster. I think young people are just following the lead, sort of speak. So, if you're a good person, probably nobody will hear of you, until dead or very old, eventually. But if one is rich and (acts like a) bully then they become famous, and who knows, eventually a leader of a big organization or even a country. Fame seems to be the only goal of a big part of the earth population as it obviously translates to more money and power...
Moreover, people seek attention in so many ways. Exaggerating stuff, just a story-telling skill we start learning at primary school ;)
Phew. Anyways, let's focus on the more positive this year, Happy New Year and all the best to you and your beloved ones! :)
I know exactly what you mean. It really does seem like a lot of young people are just copying what they see??? power, fame, shock value. Being decent rarely gets noticed, but being loud or cruel somehow does. And when that starts looking “successful,” it sends the wrong message to everyone watching.
Attention-seeking has almost become normal now. I blame the "senseless" social media trends for this... The more dramatic you are, the more people listen, even if there’s nothing meaningful behind it.
Let’s hold on to the positive and the people who still value kindness. 🤞
Happy New Year to you too — and wishing lots of peaceful days ahead!
Indeed! :)
Hollow is probably a good adjective to describe 99% of what's been happening on the traditional social media in the last few years, especially after covid.
Don't you think that people who has found their purpose or calling, and aren't "hollow" actually don't have the time to waste on those centralized media, simply because they've got more meaningful stuff to do ;)))
Thank you and same! :)
Hollow
Perfect adjective to describe the lot!
But it’s really not that simple. Students, teenagers, younger lot — they always have something to do: classes, exams, assignments. Yet they still somehow find the time to bully, to disrespect others, and to engage in all this behaviour.
Maybe it’s their upbringing, their circumstances, a sense of entitlement, or even genetics that make them this way...
Whatever the reason, I have severe aversion to these "wanna be rudes" and disrespectful, nasty human beings...
