Here I will express my utter disgust with humanity, and by humanity I mean myself, you, you and you, all of us ! These are thoughts I have had before but the pot boiled over a few nights ago while I was on twitter. Several persons were complaining about others’ tweets.. Why? Because the tweets were of no appeal to them [particularly tweets about the Ragashanti show]. Complaining about how annoying it is when persons constantly tweet about all they are hearing or heard on the show. But I was particularly taken a back by the fact that some of the persons who were throwing the tantrums ever so often annoyed me greatly and by complaining they were doing so once more. I wasn’t upset just a bit agitated at the fact persons believe it's ok for them to express themselves as they have a liking on twitter yet when others do so they complain, IF the tweets aren’t entertaining enough. Then it came to mind that I on several occasions complained about others’ tweets, which often leads to ‘muting’ sprees, and that evoked even another thought. I said to myself, “How dare you Tamika when you ever so often go on and on raping your followers' timeline with ramblings about Chris Brown, Adolf Hitler (and other random musings) that the majority of your followers care zero about. How dare you call someone else annoying?” And I then said, but yes I have a right to complain if I am being annoyed… Do you see what I’m getting at? Its okay for me to complain yet I was annoyed by someone else doing so. Why are we humans so unfair?
‘Do as to others as you would have them do unto you’ - this quote only becomes valid when we are the victims it seems, we would never remember it when we’re the ones inflicting the sting.
‘Judge me not for you have never walked a day in my shoes’ - this too is only a valid rule when we are the ones being judged..
Michael(a friend of mine) once said ‘Humanity is over-rated,’ and it puzzled me as to why he’d say such a thing but now I am converted, I now strongly agree. Humans make rules, give advice, but find it ever so hard to follow them. We’re selfish, unreasonable, judgemental and sometimes irrational. Here‘s an example; if a female is known or is suspected of having done an abortion, she is bashed, classed as murderer, etc, and references may be made to the commandment, “Thou shall not kill,” yet the person(s) who was so quick to point the finger MORE THAN LIKELY is having sex with someone who he/she isn’t married to. NOTE: The Bible speaks against fornication, that is sex outside of marriage. (And on top of that they wouldn't spare a second to consider whether or not the female who allegedly did the abortion was raped, that's a different argument however) Have you grasped my point? An act(s) is usually seen as wrong if we don’t approve of it. How dare us all to judge our brothers and sisters when we are all barely worthy of the mercy of God? We’re arrogant and intolerant. And my dear friends who point fingers at persons such as Vybz Kartel, ‘so-called illuminati members,’ Adolf Hitler, homosexuals, etc, remember that you too have sinned ! Like Ricardo(an associate of mine, also a blogger) said, “The same hell is reserved for all sinners. Sin is not categorised, all sin is sin.” Like wise wrong is wrong, there are no variations of wrong.
It is hard to deviate from human nature but it wouldn’t hurt to at least attempt to be more tolerant of each other, things would be much easier, don’t you think?
Cliché, but these rules remain…
‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.’
‘Let him that is without sin cast the first stone’
[As it relates to twitter, remember twitter is each person's personal space, they are at liberty to say whatever]
Thanks for reading, all the best !
