Doom! Decay! Death! Destruction!

Ever notice that is ALL some people are capable of talking about? It's an endless stream of chatter, tweets, or youtubes about freedom, privacy, the government, illegal surveillance, mismanagement, greed on Wall Street, anti-masks, anti-vaccines, how COVID is a hoax, there is a 'scamdemic' rather than a pandemic, how all is lost and the world will shrivel up and die soon?

Even the simplest statement can unleash a diatribe:

• I had a good meal from my favorite restaurant last night!
– My favorite restaurant shut down during the scamdemic. The government is overstepping their powers... blah, blah, blah...

Who wants to talk to someone who contorts everything into an agenda?

In one sentence, they moan and rant about how "Big Business" and the government is illegally spying on citizens, sharing personal data with each other. Then, in the next breath, they re-elect the very politicians who have always been complicit in putting the needs of the government and "Big Business" above the well-being of their constituents. Those moaners and groaners never seem to see the hypocrisy of their words and actions.

• The media tells lies!
– Where did you hear that?
• On Fox-News, of course!

They can't stop talking about Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, or whatever specious podcaster du jour, all the 'wisdom' they've heard spouted on those podcasts, and hang onto every word like Moses coming off the mountain with stone tablets. Nowadays, everyone thinks they're an expert on everything, so they launch their own podcasts or blogs, too, and blather endlessly to parrot everything they've heard others say. And, it all seems to be negative in most regards, ranting and twisting everything into narratives of mistrust, misinformation, and misconstrued outcomes.

There are people everywhere who have no personal experience in diplomacy or politics yet feel self-assured that they could solve the problems between the Palestinians and the Israelis in one week, if given the chance. And just as many, or more, who have never looked at a germ through a microscope, yet are 100% certain that the COVID virus doesn't actually exist ~OR~ that it is the exact same thing as the influenza virus. Seriously, dude, your armchair "medical" knowledge from WebMD and FOX-News surpasses that of all the doctors, epidemiologists, and microbiologists on the planet...?!?!?

There are people on the blockchain who believe there is a switch on the wall, somewhere in Washington DC, that looks much like an ordinary light-switch on the wall of any home. These people actually believe that a simple flip of such a switch will cause everyone on the face of the earth who has received the COVID vaccine to instantly fall dead. Boom. Seriously...?

WTF is wrong with people these days...???

Anyone who presents a different point-of-view is met with a sad shake of the head and informed that they are mistaken, deluding themselves, hypnotized by the lying media, aren't paying attention to the obvious "signs" — or, the best yet — "I know 'things' that no one else knows, so believe me!" It is then that the nice men with the crisp, white coats should arrive in their sterile, white vans, but alas, they never make an appearance. ~sigh~

If we talk about negativity all the time, that's what we're sending out into the world — negative vibes instead of positive vibes. It's a self-fulfilling prophesy. It's like someone's saying that they will never amount to anything, so they don't try, and then they aren't surprised when they fail. They wrongly feel they "predicted" that outcome, when in actuality, they created it.

Proponents of the "Law of Attraction" (Cf.) will immediately know the point being made here. Likewise, readers of popular scriptures (iterum, Cf.) might also recognize the principle of "reaping what one has sown."

We can only make positive change in the world
by thinking and acting positively.

We need to sow our seeds according to what we want to reap in the world. We need more positivity and inspiration, more helpful posts, more #thoughtfuldailyposts!

So many people would be feeling guilty reading this,(myself included to some extent). I have to think that the social media has greater influence on the masses than we might ever know. It makes many of us feel there isn't any good thing to look forward to in some circumstance, but even at that it's wrong to influence the next person with your opinion and plant negativity into them.


This is really a deep write up and circles in our everyday life, There is a lot to say and there is also a lot to be learnt from. All I can say now is, Thanks for sharing this.

So true. it's unfortunate that most times we never realize how deep the negativity of the people we surround ourselves with influences our mentality and molds us as a person and just like that "It can't be done" convert" is born 😔 these days if all I hear from you is negative,I just keep my distance 🤷‍♀️ can do without the extra stress in my life.

@thekittygirl

First... Hello! And thank you for posting in my community! Then... as I read through your post, I am nodding, then grinning, then nodding again. Doom! Decay! Death! Destruction!. As if we did not have enough going on in our everyday lives. You already know I am rather "open-minded" about a large number of topics. But as I came to the end, the main thing repeated over, and over again in my head...

WTF is wrong with people these days...???

I even added some EXTRA LARGE Font to make my point. It is a good thing we have door locks... and those things you put on the toilet before using the restroom. Because, well... that's important!! Awesome post as always. Hope you are having a good day today!

@thekittygirl, I hear ya! I have learned to pick my battles; to not foist my 'opinion' on folks because 90% of them are absolutely sure they are right, whether they are or not! Sometimes, I think we need to turn that switch off, and just contemplate the blessings we have. A lot of folks, especially right now, tend to look at all things negative, and whereas things are not necessarily good, if you focus too much on that, you end up miserable!

Thanks for sharing!

A nice post. Yep! That seems to be the way it is nowadays. Every one is so clever. They know something nobody else knows. We are all victims of the politicians, leaders, and the rich underworld. We are doomed. 😊
