beladona Memorial Be warned:in this very rich environment where you can immerse yourself so completely, your emotions will become engaged -- and not everyone is cognizant of that. Among the many excellent features of SL, there is no auto-return on hearts, so be wary of where your's wanders...
Have you noticed how angry everyone seems these day? Well maybe angry is the wrong word, but definitely frustrated and on edge and sometimes pretty rude. Voices are loud, horns blare, caps are used. Remember back in school when cutting in line was a cardinal sin and would get you shunned? Lots of folks these days seem to think that waiting your turn makes you a patsy. Whether on the road or in the store, no one wants to wait in line anymore. And heaven help you if you say or write the wrong thing, if you step on their sensibilities or offend them! The kind of vitriol that is unhesitatingly poured out on anyone in social media who takes a different stance or espouses an unpopular point of view will make your eyes burn and itch just by reading it.
What happened? When did folks stop talking, stop discussing things [albeit sometimes very headedly] and start yelling at each other? How did we forget to agree to disagree? What made us stop worrying about the fate of humanity or the state of the nation and start concentrating on what “we” want and how to protect it from “them” taking it?
Where is Miss Manners these days? I think we need her. A little kindness, yup, that’s what we need…..
