HATERS – BERATERS – COMPLAINERS – OH MY!

I remember when I first got on Facebook! It was May of 2008. It was exciting to find old friends from grade school all through College. And, since my family is spread across the states, the web site made it possible to connect with those family members. Ultimately it gave me the opportunity to get a couple of college degrees. That, however, changed. As people began to migrate to Facebook, it appeared that the tone was changing. Now, as we enter 2019, it seems that Facebook is now replete with haters, beraters, and complainers.

It was and is a very sad experience watching how so many haters hate so many things. It is so prevalent that Dante’s Inferno could add another level just for these folks. From the issue with our justice system, to the current crisis with immigration, revived racial tension, and the list goes on. I wonder if their hate has such a strong hold on them, is there any hope for them to find peace and love? I am not sure.

Now the beraters are some of the worst. This is particularly evident with the Ink Master program. The rules are to critique’ the tattoo NOT to berate the artists. If I were to make a statement about this group, it would be, ‘arrogant, self-righteous, disrespectful, and oh so stupid.

Ah the complainers! This group seems to be self-perpetuating. People complain about everything from the weather to their personal lives. The latter has, in my opinion, been one of the biggest perpetrators of hate. It is like it started out as a small, manageable snowball, but now that snowball would cover the entire state of Texas.

So in the end, I could simply leave Facebook for a more positive experience, or, I could join one or all the groups, as there is a plethora of things I could spew over, or, simply ignore their post, or just delete them. I am still deciding!
