We all have been in a situation where we worry about doing good and being judged for it. For example: you see a homeless man on the streets. He is sitting on a piece of cardboard under an outcrop of a building. people walk by without even giving him a second glance or even a hello. You stare at him from across the street. You have money on you. It would take less then a second to at the least drop a dollar or two.Despite how quick and easily it would be to make this mans day you only think of yourself.
Unfortunately this is the majority of society. I myself am even guilty of these things. I hate myself for it. It depresses me thinking about how terrible we all really are. We make fun of the less fortunate because it brings us joy. We are ungrateful for the small things that others dont have. You are angry that your boss wont give you a raise so you can buy a new car. Somewhere a homeless person is being laughed at and mocked at for applying for a job because they are homeless, and yet you are ungrateful for your job. Be grateful for the things that you have. Dont make fun of the less fortunate no matter what time they are or were so.
The term "too soon" is very inaccurate. No joke on the things that are sad are always too soon. Dont make jokes about 9/11 or the Holocaust or Hiroshima . All these things you would cry about if you or a loved one had to be apart of these. Why are we so content to joke about them then? security? social standing? Why? Becasue we are ungrateful that we did not have to go through them.
What does it mean to be grateful? To be grateful is to thank God (or whomever you consider to be God) that you are alive today. You are never promised anything in life, even life itself. We must accept the fact that we are temporary as humans and every action has a consequence.
Some of us are very unfortunate and live our lives in constant pain, and some of us think we're very unfortuante becasue we dont have what we want when we want it and live our lives in "social pain". What is the difference between real pain and social pain? Real pain is sitting on the streets wondering if you will eat today, wondering if you will wake up the next day, no be, no clothes, meals, utterly dying every day. Social pain is not having what you want. Not having the new phone, dress design, or car. Overall worrying about how you look to others.
