RE: Cancel Culture and Why It's Toxic

in OCD3 years ago

My Mom always said to us kids, "If you don't have anything kind to say, don't say anything at all". Everybody had bad days. We are all human - well at least I hope we are anyway lol. It is important that we allow each other breathing space to vent when needed, although unchecked outrage should be challenged appropriately. There are however always 2 or more sides to every story, and in a world where things go viral without people having even a hint of real understanding of the underlying circumstances, we need to take a step back and think...with our hearts and our minds and consider everything in perspective before joining the "roadrage" bus. Reach out to the person concerned, give them an opportunity to explain or make amends. Give second chances. It's called being kind and allowing someone else to be human.
