A few days ago Social Media showed it's ugly side once again, or should I say, allowed a bully to show their nasty side.
I have my political views to which I'm entitled but when someone verbally attacks my friends and family on FB for sharing my views, I have a right to respond. I gave one reply to the person, a fellow blogger that I've followed and respected for many years, in response I had a tirade of insults calling me fake and living in a Make believe world! I have a temper and I have my limits, that doesn't change because I'm spiritual and care for the environment and animals. Sometimes you have to be strong and stand up for those weaker. Being spiritual isn't all about being hippy dippy and fairy flowers! You have to know when to be a warrior and when to take a stand.
She went on to call my friends Smartass and threw insults left and right because no one would give in to her viewpoint. That's the behaviour of a bully and says more about her than the rest of us.
Unlike Keyboard Trolls who like to shout insults from the safety of their living room, I prefer to fight my battles face to face. Thankfully as the person stated, we are unlikely to ever meet in person which is a good thing as I'm flaming mad!
My life is neither fake or made up. It's damned hard work keeping everything together with a chronic illness and so many animals to care for with more turning up all the time!
Thankfully, my lovely son is still here, helping and working his socks off!
If the deal had been accomplished right away, with the best interests of UK citizens in mind, none of this mess would have developed. However, it didn't happen and many citizens have changed their mind about the vote. Many young people are now eligible to vote and they would prefer to remain. They're the future of the UK, not the old nostaligic people who think life will return to some imagined rosy idea of the past. I remember being very poor when I was young, both parents worked, we had coal fires and constant power cuts but we DID have the NHS! We should be moving forwards not backwards!
I often think it would be nice if I could reach through the air waves and beat the snot out of some people. However - in with the good air; out with the bad. I've been knows to stand in my living room and let out a primal scream. Doesn't change the bullies of the world but I feel a bit better.
ReplyDeleteFighting online with bullies is kind of fun for me. It helps me get rid of negative energy. But this isn't a good thing because there are repercussions sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a hard time figuring out Brexit. I have Googled it and still don't understand. I feel lost in this.
