Okay, so recently I've been on Pinterest a lot more than I normally am. It's a great time waster. And as I'm looking through these pictures of cute sayings and things, it dawns on me how many of them are about needing or doing all these things for yourself. I mean, you do need to do things for yourself but at some point it's just annoying! Over and over and over, all the time, it's me, me, me. How come no one wants to do anything for anyone else? (The following is an actual picture from Pinterest)
And also, what's with all these people going around and looking for things like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, and aliens? Why? They haven't bothered us! So leave them alone, if they are out there! Otherwise they will start messing with us.
Another thing, why do parents spoil their children? There is nothing more annoying than a screaming, spoiled brat. Tell your kid no, when they scream, spank them and sit them in a corner until they can control themselves. Goodness, it's ridiculous!
Okay, I'm not in the best of moods. I'm tired. You might can tell. But there's my rant. It was rather rude. I'm sorry. My next post will be much cheerier. 'Tis the season, after all.

Agree with you, sister friend.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that bothers me the most about pictures like that is the way it says "we NEED." Sure, I most certainly want those things, but do I need them? Of course not. Maybe it's an American thing, the way, I guess, people just aren't exposed to the horrors of this world and actually how bad people have it in life.
But I also feel at the same time, that we have what we have. God had a reason that we were born in America, where we have more than enough, and He has a reason that certain people were born in Africa in poverty; and we can't change those facts. And we can't go around feeling sorry for people all the time; we have to actually do something about it. But I think you understand that.
I've seen both ends of the spectrum with kids -- kids that haven't been spanked enough and then kids that are practically being abused. Both are terrible, but in different ways. I think parents need to find the happy medium in between the two and stick with it. It's really not that hard.
I love your rants, by the way. They're totally great. :) And I love you!!
Yes! Exactly! So many people think that they aren't acting snobby or pompous because they feel sorry for those less fortunate. But what does that do for them?! Sympathy does not give them things they need. It takes action, not sympathy to bring about change.
ReplyDeleteAbout the spanking thing, yes I know there is a lot of controversy about it and depending on which side you've seen, you can think it's necessary or it's abuse. I think a quick swat on the butt is good for them to realize that there are consequences with their wrongdoings. But don't go overboard with it. There are other forms of punishment too.
And thanks :) Sometimes I feel like I'm just annoying, but this is where I can just get it off my chest. Haha I love you too!
