'The 6 Harsh Truths That Will Make You A Better Person' article only shows me how harsh we are as a species. This article did nothing but bolster what I already know inside. I am going to continue to be a compassionate, empathetic, caring soul, who will NOT waste time in my life wondering what I can do or give to people other than my love, support, knowledge, understanding, and friendship. I will NOT push myself to become a cog in the machine, so that I won’t end up like the article states: “You will be poor, you will be alone, you will be left out in the cold". Sure, my boss may have hired me for the 'skills' that I have, but she also hired a great human being who is going to make the office environment, and every person that comes in contact with it, all the happier/warmer. Skills come from many avenues of your life, not just what you can do to make money. The hippies were not (and still are not) wrong. In FACT, those hippies have transformed into those around you who grow their own food, who can recycle and bike to work. These lovely people are doing their part for a better world for all; something I cannot say for their economic-crazy counterparts. Point no.4 contradicts the rest of the article. It is telling you to be a good person, but the first three points tell you that no matter how nice you are, it won’t get you ahead or make you popular etc. As I go through the points again, I get more and more angry. I can see how the writer got to these points, and can empathize with many of them. Yet, I know that this is only what we see and feel now, and does not have to be the truth. We write our own destiny. I choose to write for a better future for all! How did you respond to this article? This is my reaction to an article posted on www.Cracked.com by David Wong. (click here for the complete article)
