I don't know if the stars and moon are out of alignment or what! But it seems like lately, all around me, people are a little more closed off, and a lot more argumentative, or just being...off.
Yesterday, a friend of mine posted a thing about child abuse, I guess it is child abuse month and she is heavily promoting it. She posted a status with the picture of a little girl all bruised up, saying her parents should pay and be punished for what they did to her, and deserve to be beat up etc. Well, there was no article or info attached, and well...Im curious and when I want to know more about something, I check it out for more information.
Well, I did find articles about the little girl, but it wasnt child abuse, it was about how she was beat up by another little girl at her preschool. So, I let her know with a link to the article. She deleted my comment and continued on with saying that abuse is abuse and theres no excuse for it, parents should be punished etc. Now, personally, I think it kind of sucks that this kids picture is out there for something like this, and her parents are being blamed for something they did not do, and in fact are fighting for better conditions and care for the kids there.
But yeah, I dont get it. I have seen this happen a lot of times too, where someone takes a good cause, and then uses any method, whether related or not, to have some sort of aggressive shock value...with the idea that it doesnt matter as long as the primary goal is reached. But, here we have an actual little girl, and actual family, people who do not deserve to be blamed for this, and its okay because the final goal is more important that what you use to get there? And yeah, I have seen this general argumentative style in many different ways over the past few, and yeah I genuinely do not get it.
Heres a link to the article btw.

I think I'm feeling the offness as well. I've been a lot more depressed and less tolerant lately. Been venting off some steam on my facebook, but still feel generally pissy.
