First of all, I'm back. After the Boston marathon, I needed some time to regroup. It was a major (and sad) event in my city, and I just could't sit down to write.
Last night something popped up on my facebook news feed. It was a photo of a friend, who is a beautiful (outside and in) fitness model, and a company had actually stolen her photos to use them for a diet pill ad. It was amazing to me as I scrolled down to see some of the negative (and extremely rude) comments that people had made. It made me sad as I read them, as it makes me wonder what our society had become, and why on earth people would behave this way.
You have to feel bad about yourself to say terrible things about someone else. Have you ever been walking on cloud nine, I mean truly feeling happiness in every single bone of your body, and stopped to make a cruel comment about someone else? I doubt it. I believe that saying awful (and intentionally hurtful) things about someone else, is really a symptom, of the fact that things aren't going well with you. Something isn't right with your life, and it might be time for a change.
All that I can do is take care of how I feel, and how I treat the people around me, but I do hope that the people who are feeling bad about themselves right now, can someday look at themselves, and do something that brings them inner happiness, and peace. Life is short, give someone a hug:)
xo,
Megan
