Being a Facebook user and seeing different kinds of people post some stuff, you can't help but notice that some people just don't know the difference of standing up for what you believe in and stooping down to your offender's level. Sometimes I feel like people do both but sometimes I feel like "Yeah that was good time to intervene and give the person a piece of your mind". I just can't say the same when people complain about the pettiest, smallest things that can be overlooked or need not be posted on Facebook or any social network for that matter.
I say this because we have to be responsible with the things we post and exercise our freedom of speech properly. I've been thinking about this because some people do not know the effect of the things they post and are just stupid about it. Take one of my Facebook friends who was overcome by emotion because he overheard some lady talking shit about his grandmother so he takes it to the internet and just writes out all his feelings and telling his Facebook friends to share the post with the lady's picture in it and it just turned me off because he did not take it like a man and he was bitching about it for everyone to see. It was annoying, it took all my willpower not to comment on the post asking him to take it down. I didn't though because we're not close and it was really none of my business.
The other type is just standing up for what you believe in which happened when someone shared about a guy not giving up his seat in the subway when there was a girl standing up. She called the guy out for doing so and saying he was unattractive and ending the post with "CHIVALRY IS DEAD". It was rude and I was so happy to see that people were defending the guy saying that there is still chivalry but there was no need to call out a guy for not giving his seat up for a girl. It's 2015(almost 2016), there's a thing called equality so people should stop being bigots and just accept things wholly, not just the parts that work in their favor. I personally commented on it too but almost all the comments written had the same stuff I wanted to voice out so even if there are some cases when people forget the line but I'm glad more people recognize it.
This is just my opinion and take on things and I just needed to voice it out so here I am. Have a nice day! and Advance Merry Christmas!
