It still amazes me, but it shouldn't

The people who are so quick to make fun about people's supposed character flaws, as if they have none of their own.
That they give so much energy to pointing them out to anybody who'll listen and devout so much time to what the younger generation calls "virtue signaling" .
How do they find the time to dig up so much dirt?
Isn't there anything better to do?
I realize, in this, I too am pointing out a character flaws,so no need to point out the obvious, it isn't lost on me.
I just wish people, myself included, would be kinder to each other, maybe self reflect a bit before pointing out everybody else's faults.
We all are imperfect beings looking for a bit of acceptance.

I was sleeping, gently napping when I heard the phone
Who is on the other end talking, am I even home?
Did you see what she did to him, did you hear what they said?
Just a New York conversation rattling in my head


Oh, oh, my, and what shall we wear?
Oh, oh, my, and who really cares?


Just a New York conversation, gossip all of the time
Did you hear who did what to whom? Happens all the time
Who has touched and who has dabbled here in the city of shows?
Openings, closings, bad repartee, everybody knows

Oh, how sad and why do we call?
Oh, I'm glad to hear from you all-......lou reed

The internet seems to have made people ruder in general because they get used to the safety of saying things anonymously which, in the past, if said in person would have gotten them a punch in the face.

Yes, we are not perfect and why judge? no one knows your life no one can measure a past. We are like clay constantly being molded. We can offer positive in the good ppl do helps. Thank you for this inspiring post. We are one of a kind and no other person is exactly like us. Thank goodness I'm my own handful :) going through changes as we deal with society.

So much this!
Sort of what my post yesterday was about. They love to point out what others dis wrong and regurgitate it over and over.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@SW-User I would think they must really have not much else to do?
SW-User
@Justmeraeagain Could be, or they just wanna play the victim? Some preach kindness yet never miss a chance to tell.

It is an unattractive habit that benefits no one 😕
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@SunshineGirl True, that.

Spot on! I see it constantly and it is utterly exhausting and a huge turn off. It's always everyone else and no self awareness. If everyone concentrated on themselves first they wouldn't have time to dwell on others flaws.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@Magenta yep
SW-User
It no longer amazes me to see this in others and sometimes still in myself.
But it does sadden me that we're so easy to point fingers at each other and so unwilling to look within first.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@SW-User Hopefully, with constant practice in kindness, we get better at it.

Human nature .... if everybody is looking at somebody else's flaws that aren't looking at mine
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@pdockal If they gossip with you, they're gossiping about you...
pdockal · 56-60, M
@Justmeraeagain
Well i wouldn't know as I'll shut that conversation down once i realize it's gossip or just leave the group

Being kind to each other is sadly lacking in the world. I do hope that will change
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@SW-User I was told a few years back, on social media, of course, that being kind was being a fake.
It was then I realized a lot has changed
SW-User
@Justmeraeagain That probably came from someone with no empathy. Sad
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@SW-User Actually, got that from a few people.
Perhaps they are jaded by past experiences.

I love this post, nobody can read this & say they've never doneit. Everybody does at some time or another. It's the people that do it over & over again. What is the reason behind their cruelty & spitefulness? They have their reasons I'm sure. They are well aware they're doing it though & still continue
Well written & very well said
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@Star1 Thank you

Hear Hear!

I don't know what "virtue signalling" is but I do agree wholeheartedly with your message.

And yes, I am aware I am not perfect!
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@ArishMell I think it means signaling people of your own virtue making sure they're aware of it
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@Justmeraeagain Ah, somehow seems about right! Thank you!
