I saw a meme once

Where the person said they had posted a comment about how lovely the scenery of a grassy meadow looked and how many people commented about their allergies. That the comments about allergies ruined the peace of the grassy scenery and why do people feel compelled to post these things instead of letting people just enjoy a moment without some kind of suffering.

It was obviously more succinct than that, but that was the jist.

I think of that meme often.

Why do people bring up the negatives of something someone else enjoys? Why ruin that? No one asked what your issues are with it. They asked you to enjoy it with them. If you can't, don't comment and move on. The need to crap all over someone else's joy is weird to me.

Just let people enjoy stuff!

The curse of social media, even wonderful, beautiful, sweet things ... if someone has a negative thought or thinks it would be "funny" to rile people up by posting a negative thought, they do.

@Pherick I tend to think, people comment the first thoughts in their heads, thinking they are making a relevant statement that the OP needs to hear. But it reads as..."Okay, so...don't like the thing and move on. Why announce your personal issue? No one cares as much as you do about it."

I need to load this image in response, i had just kept forgetting:
