SHARE IF YOU CARE

A couple days ago I went onto my “google+”, it is a type of social media similar to “Facebook”. There were plenty of new posts that I love looking at, but then I saw a post from one page that I follow called “Amusing World” the post was a picture of a starving skinny African boy crouching down. Beside the picture there was a message that said: “The world's hunger is getting ridiculous. There is more fruit in a rich man’s shampoo than on a poor man’s plate”. That was a nice message, although a bit “Captain Obvious”; we already know that there is poverty, but people are too lazy and selfish that they don’t want to change it, but I won’t go on about that. The thing that I am writing about is that on that post, on the very bottom where nobody can see it, there was a little thing that said “Share if you care.” It says that on almost every post so I didn’t mind it. However, when I checked my email yesterday there was an email from my blog and it said “reminder! It's a new week and its time to get started on a new post!” And then it showed a picture of an african boy as inspiration so I thought about writing about this.

We live in a world where the protagonists say that there is no wrong, only right. There is no bad, only good. There is no arrogant, only kind, but actually they are only wrong, bad and arrogant, and most of the world is made out of these people. If I post a persuasive enough comment on that post, i will change whoever reads that comments' mind. Saying “share if you care” is equivalent to telling someone that the only way that they can show that they truly care about poverty is by sharing that one and only post,it is equivalent to telling someone that if they don’t share that post they don’t care. "It isn’t fair" you may say, but then you haven’t lived your life because life is just full of twist and turns of inequality, racism, lying, selfishness, etc. Those things are so common that I can show an example of all of them. 

Inequality: when a rich man with 1000 dollars in his pocket sees a homeless african boy dying on the streets, he just walks by. Lying: saying “share if you care” just to make us think what a wonderful person they are, when actually they could’ve just said the truth by saying “share so that we can come up to people and boast about how we have more shares than them.” Selfishness: the same example as I gave for inequality. When you read this think about all the inequality, lying and selfishness you have done in your life. If you have done a lot try and change it right now because if you don’t, you are going to be one of the many antagonists that call themselves "protagonists" in this world.
We live in a world were the antagonists say there is no wrong, only right. No bad, only good. No arrogant, only kind, but they actually are only wrong, bad and arrogant, and most of this world is made out of these people. I posted a persuasive enough comment to change the minds of people who read it. 

Here is the comment I posted:
The picture is sad, and they’re right the people are monsters but at the bottom of the picture it says “share if you care.” How does sharing help these children in africa and other places survive of poverty. If they already want to say something they could say “Go around the world and give food to children who are dying of poverty if you care.” Or, they shouldn’t put anything because its common sense, everyone knows what to do to show that they care. All "Amusing World" wants, is people to share their post, because they want to come up to people and boast about how they got 1251 shares and the other person only got 11 shares. I would be on the other person's side though. So if you actually feel like poverty is bad then don’t tell people to share if they care because people will actually think thats the only way you can care about something, and people, it's not even one way you can care about something.

Welcome to Cry and Laugh Out Loud School!!!

So my sister and me invented this therapy... We were inspired by a new method we were reading about: people with depression or mood problems should laugh a lot. So we thought that crying also helps and decided to get some training as CLOL (Cry and Laugh Out Loud) instructors..

See me trying, I think everyone will be cured when they see me cry and laugh this way!!!
