I know this is gunna sound shit but bear wiv me! BE THE CHANGE IN THE WORLD YOU WANNA SEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Sometimes different parts of the world have different standards for kindness. I empathize with you, as I have never had a true bestfriend, someone to lean on. Spreading joy is impossible if you do not feel it within you. If the people around you are cold to you and negative, how can you feel true joy? To sum it all up: surround yourself with those who make you feel good, You can attract these people directly through your actions: your good intentions, kind words, compliments, and Smile, will open doors of opportunity, comradery, and friendship. This may or may not happen during the timeframe you hope for, but do not get discouraged, your efforts are not in vain. Avoid those who make you feel bad. I think you have a good heart in wanting to spread joy to everyone, but some people have to learn things on their own. By efficiently spreading joy to those who are most open to it (nice people) your friendships will grow and you will be able to share the love more and more. -recycled
Well, I think your heart is in the right place but maybe your priorities aren't. The measure of a society's "warmth" can't be gauged by how many high-fives you get from strangers. Instead, try looking at how a society takes care of people/things that don't necessarily create direct economic benefits to it. I'm talking about caring for homeless people, the disabled, the elderly. I'm talking about preserving the environment. I'm talking about preserving historical artifacts and sites. I'm talking about the arts. I'm talking about education. If you're serious, then I wouldn't bother with relatively meaningless things like high-fives, and instead concentrate on things that really matter. Volunteer at a homeless shelter, or a shelter for abused children. Volunteer to help clean up a city park or construct new hiking trails. Volunteer to help teach someone to read. There are a zillion things you can do that will affect people's lives forever. Good luck to you. Why do I get the feeling I'm wasting my breath?
Its just the way society is. They have been raised like that. They have grown up and been rewarded in some aspect for that. When they were the different one in the crowd, they found relief by pointing the figure somewhere else. Its just the way they are. Until something happens to them, to make them open their minds, and let some knowledge in, and some arrogance out, they are doomed for the disasters of mainstream society.
Observe them, realize what their faults are, and strive not to make the same mistakes with your life. And remember that no one is perfect. Sometimes you just need a warm heart to break through the cold exterior, and you may find a warn and loving person inside.
Just my little opinion of 'coldness' It's not that people are meaner, it's just that people are closed up these days. To strangers, or 'intruders' you may see a cold, impassive, uncaring face, however, if it's someone they know, they are less likely to show that 'coldness'.
I never was able to leave my negative thinking behind me. I am always jealous of the other people, and most of time that triggers a mechanism which makes me say nasty ugly stuff, to the others. For a few years, I thought that I am really great at insulting people, it was kind of fun, but later, I had to realise am really bad at it. It was one of the most saddest moment of my life. -I have born with a health problem, its called haemophilia, it means If I start to bleed, it does not stop until, the missing factor from my blood is substituted trough medicine. Still searching for myself,and still dont know what to do in my life. What I wanted to say, that most of the rude,cruel,cold people, have some kind of grudge against themself, which can be seen, or felt, by the way how they express their thoughts.
i agree with you, people nowadays simply they don't care. i'm from brazil but i am living in ireland right now. and i saw difference in the way of irish and brazilians. i mean, here they are all so nice and respectfull with you, its wonderfull.. but in brazil they seem to need more hugs or something, its more fisical thing. |o|
Some say they do-some say they don't some say they will-some say they won't all and all-it's all the same-but call me if there's any change---- procol harum
its the cities that does this to people. Its un-natural to live in such places.. people need to be working around the land gathering and foraging like we did for eons.. people were drawn away from farms and got lost in cities and the world went to hell in a handbag.. plus all cities have are rich power mongers seeking to use you in one way or another
