A friend of mine took to social media over the weekend with some very wise words that are worthy of repeating.
Kelle Smallwood said, “Trying to figure out why everyone seems to have the ability to make something negative, or only see the negative side of certain posts on FB. Try turning it around and see it from a positive perspective.”
I could not agree more.
We live in a cynical world where everyone’s mistakes and foibles seem to get broadcast to the whole world on social media, and a negative comment will get commented on over and over. People will sit and follow these threads with popcorn in their hands, as if some dramatic scene is being played to the delight of dirt hungry spectators.
Just as she said, why don’t we learn to be positive, and share the positive, instead of acting like a school of shark in a feeding frenzy?
