What bothers me is lack of basic decency towards others. We can see it everywhere in society, the aptly named “Karen” out in the wild. Being beligerant to the person who serves you food contributes nothing positive to society and only possibly ruins their day. This big, beautiful, busy world keeps on spinning whether you get your latte or not today. Self-entitlement is a plague on modern society, try being kind to a stranger, open a door, help someone out. You would be surprised at how good it will actually make YOU feel when you spread kindness. At the end of the day, we really are just souls walking around in meat suits. Inside, we are all exactly the same. Isn’t the golden rule to basically treat others how you would like to be treated? If you approach the world thinking you are better than the man living under the bridge, you are missing the point. Instead of feeling superior, you should feel gratitude that your life hasn’t fallen apart like his and if you can, help a human being out. Most people are just one job loss away from being homeless themselves, the average person is much closer to homelessness than being a billionaire.
