At first, we try to pretend like the society we live in today do not want to cause mischief. So, we go through life trying not to think about it too much. Though, we all take notice of what is going on in today’s society. Everywhere you turn seems to be someone talking behind your back. You turn on the television and you see U.S. politicians talking behind their back. There have been many interactions throughout the human culture to tell us something of ourselves. But, this new interaction between humans in the modern world would indicate that there is something wrong with society. You know there is something wrong when people are trying really hard to mess other people lives up. People who want to hurt people they don’t know or has money. There use to be a time when society use to be bad things for a reason or say things because it was right from a certain perspective. These days, words are being uttered to one’s back for no reason. It is really hard to enjoy your life around these vultures or parasites if you prefer. There seems to be a large group of people trying desperately to make you feel like everything you do is worthless. What ever happened to having some hope or having dreams? I suppose most people don’t want anything out of life. They just do not want anything. How do modern society respond to these situations? Modern society does nothing and pretends like it doesn’t matter. In one sense, it doesn’t matter if the person can mentally tell themselves that this piece of criticism is not important. On the other hand, a person who can not control the negative thoughts in their mind due to lack of thinking clearly would end up doing something stupid. There was a scholar who believed that the words you use determine who you are. I agree with this single believe because it reminds me who I am. How can people say things to random people without thinking of their feelings. There are times it is just jokes, however there are also times when someone goes too far and needs to shut up. Where does all this hate come from? There doesn’t seem to be a clear source to the hate that came out in 2015. It just seem to come out of nowhere like some kind of force started this hate wave and affected everyone. We as human beings need to be aware of our interactions with these types of people. We need to know not think that we have to take time out to think. Thinking can be the force that stop us from doing something stupid. Modern society may have turned into some kind of ugly and crap talk world, but we need to fight the hate wave. We need to fight it with our minds and stop trying to go to war all the time. War is for resources and protection. War is not for bragging rights. Society can not continue to run the way it runs now. We need to make it better.
