Social Media run the world; no matter how we look at it. There’s a lot of good and bad that go along with social networking. (This would be a perfect topic for next week) Today we are discussing looking down on others. If you’ve been on social media for a while I’m sure you’ve seen the goal digger pranks and testing jewelry videos. I lose hours watching these type of videos. Some of the people being interviewed and/0r pranked are so snobbish and rude it’s beyond me. I’m sure most of them are staged, but the way some of their participants look down on others is past capping. So let’s discuss why we shouldn’t look down on others.
Story time:
One day my grandfather and I stopped at a store; as we were leaving this man offered to clean his windows and pump his gas. My grandfather politely turned the man down then turned to me and said “JacQ pump the gas.” I responded with “If he's gonna take your money he might as well work for it; let him pump the gas.” Jokingly y’all, I promise I was joking. My grandpa turned purple.. HE WAS PISSED. He lectured me for the the full two hour ride …do you hear me. He explained to me why that was not funny, how I was not only disrespectful to that gentleman but also to him, and how embarrassing I should feel for carrying myself like that. I was fourteen at the time but when my grandfather spoke I listened. That day he told me to never look down on someone unless you are helping them up. That stuck with me and I’ve applied that to my life since.
Why you shouldn’t look down on others
***It only makes you look weak. People tend to make others feel how they feel whether it’s good or bad. When you look down on other’s it shows that you’ve got built up insecurities that you’re projecting onto other people. So offer to help instead of blurting rude remarks.
***Everyone has a story. We don’t know what others are going through or may have been through. Life is hard and making the right choices in life are even harder. So give someone a pat on their back for doing the best they can, acknowledge them for put themselves out there in the first place.
***You can be in the same position. We are all equal; no matter the money, clothes, or fame. Look beyond the outside appearance because being snobbish will get you nowhere. I’ve never seen someone looking down on others being looked up to. Have you?
