I feel sad. Recently an fb friend made fun of an older person who happened to be shopping at Walmart. She took her picture and proceeded to write a post that made fun of how she looked, and dressed.
I replied to this post of hers and said I don't understand why you are criticizing her... why do you need to put her down? To feel superior?!
So in the past couple of days she and her husband have tried to blur words claiming "I'm offended by her post" when in fact I told them "No, not offended. APPALLED"!
Since when is appalled=offended? I was of the belief that when a "friend" posted something at fb one can reply, even if it's in disagreement to their post... maybe I'm wrong.
Doesn't "Free Speech" apply to Facebook, even when politely put?! Needless to say we're not friends anymore. And maybe never were...
These 2 people are in my movie and in real life pretty much have everything. Maybe that's the problem. They're spoiled?
Honesty can hurt. You don't always hear what you want to hear when people are honest. So people really don't like honesty even if they say they do. What they do like, if they like anything, is the debate of what you are saying.
But be very careful during that debate because illiteracy can run rampant.
People can and will use their personal thesarus/dictionary to blur words thereby blurring the lines of what you are saying in order to spin your meaning, and therefore your intentions, into something else.
Something not intended by you. Have a good week.
Best,
Renn
