Society is sinking into a void of sucky behavior. So you’re driving around town, doing errands, singing to your favorite song and that’s when you see him. You know who I’m referring. You see the war veteran in a wheel chair on the corner of the road holding up a sign that says “Please Help”, as he sits cold, dirty, and hungry. You stop singing, you stop looking in his general direction, and pretend that you didn't see him sitting there, as he stares at you while you drive on by. All that cheer and you let it stay inside your car instead of sharing it with those on the outside. You’re in the grocery store shopping for food for the week, looking at sprinkles deciding whether to put some on the special cake you’re going to make for no special reason just for your family. Then you see them. The parent yelling and hitting their child in public. You look shocked, but decide it’s none of your business. You turn away and try not to hear the sad sounds of despair. You don’t even ask yourself the question if he will survive the night, you just keep shopping. Your loyal dog of 5 years has just had puppies. You've cared for the dog and treated the dog as part of the family. Now you have several more mouths to feed. Instead you decide to dump them somewhere, without even calling anyone at all for help, and they end up starving and dying because it was apparently inconvenient to disrupt your “perfect” lifestyle. Well there’s five words that describe these acts of disgusting behavior toward saving humanity and they are pessimistic, selfish, indifferent, hateful, and violent. You, my non-friend, are a sucky human being. Pessimism is described as having a lack of hope for the future, or expecting bad things to happen. You see the world as half empty and always have something negative to say. You are the “negative Nancy” or the “Debbie downer” of the world. The dark veil of reality forever shrouds your already myopic point of view on life and you like to add to it by distressing others with your toxic words. Stop it. In order for the light to shine through, you need to stop blocking the warmth of the sun out. You need to allow for hope and love to enter your mind, instead of depressing thoughts. How do I stop being such a pessimistic person? One way is to write down your negative thoughts, instead of saying them out loud, then light the sucker on fire (carefully). Bad thoughts gone and new thoughts will emerge. Every time you feel the urge to say something negative, stop, breathe, and then let something nice come out. Do this every day until you tongue stops stinging people in the heart Selfish To be selfish is to be concerned with oneself and not showing concern for the needs of other people. You keep things to yourself that would benefit others like extra clothing, food, and money. You talk about yourself all the time, and you step on the little guy to get what you want. It’s all about you and you don’t care about anyone or anything else. Stop it. In order for you to show that you care, you need to…wait for it…SHOW THAT YOU CARE! Give of yourself and of your material possessions to those who really need it. Donate half your closet, volunteer at a charitable event or shelter, and dish out some extra dough to that sad vet on the corner. How do I know if people will use my extra wares wisely?

Source: Mari Indifferent To be indifferent is to be impartial or not care one way or the other.

You don’t even try to bite into it. It smells funny. It’s not fitting into your comfort zone. You never order that meal again, and coincidentally never go back into the restaurant again.

Selfish
To be selfish is to be concerned with oneself and not showing concern for the needs of other people. You keep things to yourself that would benefit others like extra clothing, food, and money. You talk about yourself all the time, and you step on the little guy to get what you want. It’s all about you and you don’t care about anyone or anything else.
Stop it. In order for you to show that you care, you need to…wait for it…SHOW THAT YOU CARE! Give of yourself and of your material possessions to those who really need it. Donate half your closet, volunteer at a charitable event or shelter, and dish out some extra dough to that sad vet on the corner.
