La Poseurs discussion

This is a thread devoted to posting some of the things in the world that saddens you the most. It's a depressing topic, I know, but life isn't all fun and games. This folder is called "Serious Stuff" for a reason.

Here's my first post/ example:

Animal abuse. These animals are defenseless creatures who are not treated with the love, kindness, and respect they deserve. If you have seen images of animal cruelty, you would know it's one of the most disgusting, and horrifically cruel thing somebody can do to another living thing.

I HATE love. It's so freaking tricky. Sometimes it's good and that is rare but then there is the fake love that shades your vision of reality. Sometimes a heartbreak is what people need, I needed to see who I really was, and it changed me into a better person. Now I'm not saying breakhearts are all good because depression isn't. Back to my point, I had been recently dated for the first time in a year, and it happened to be one of my good guy friends, I was happy before dating him, I was on the track back to being myself. I didn't have to worry. But he really loved me, I last night realized how much we weren't meant to be. We just weren't. We had dated for only week, and he's torn. He promised that if we broke up we would still be friends, he swore on it. And now I'm not so sure if he will keep that promise. I feel like a complete jackass - excuse my language - but I just know, we aren't meant to be.

Love is just too damn tricky.

I know Angel. ㅠ.ㅠ Love is one of the worst things out there.

Bullying.
Lately I've seen a bunch of cyber bullying going on. Especially on my Twitter with a bunch of people. Then there's bullying in real life. It's sad. Because the people who are getting the bullying don't even deserve it, because they're meerly innocent people. On cyber bullying it's whether fan bases attacking against each other or just people who actually know each other, and one of them getting the bullying. It's just sad. Like WHY would you do it.

I was thinking about doing bullies but then I thought there are so many problems out there that I should choose something else so I'm choosing discrimination against religion race or sex which includes sexual orientation. I mean is there really a reason to hate someone for something they can't control. It's just so stupid. This is why I'm choosing discrimination instead of bullying.

Taking advantage of people, specifically physically. I guess that means like physical and sexual abuse for the list for me.

Hating people for the tiniest things. Pushing them off when they're hurling you against a locker. Someday I know I'll open the door to my house and there'll be a gunman waiting for me inside.

Oh, and cancer. And war.

Suicide. I absolutly hate it and there is nothing you could say to change my mind. It is a serious thing that is not ment to me messed around with. I experienced this first hand, one of my very best friends commiting it about a month and a half ago because of bullying. She was a great person, and there was no reason this should have ever happened.
RIP Tori! ;(

Addictions, they are so-- hurtful to others. No matter what they are, there is always pain in an addiction.

When you lose self-respect.

When people die when they didn't have to.

Including war.

You pretend,
That you can't see,
How red my eyes are,
You see,
Oh you must see,
Because I know I'm not that good at hiding it,
But can't you see,
That if only I knew,
That you knew,
My life might be a bit different,
Because I need somebody to hold me,
But nobody sees...

Newtown,Connecticut adding to a list of places of shootings,one just happend days ago in Oregon.

=(((

Life is the most precious thing we have. You never know when a loved one can be taken from your life. Who would have thought it would have taken the life of 20 kindergartners early today, to the families who lost someone today in Connecticut, you are in my thoughs and prayers. No one should have to go through that.

Ohmygod the shooting in Connecticut was just sick. I heard little kindergardeners were hiding inside closets and they got shot and everything. Like seriously. I hope that guy goes to hell.

Obviously what happened was a bad thing... but I don't hope that anyone goes to Hell. Because honestly, I think that wishing someone to go to Hell is just as bad as killing them.

I kind of feel the same way. If we're that malicious towards somebody, no matter how awful they may be... doesn't that make us just nearly as bad as they were? I mean, there was something obviously wrong with that guy. He was probably filled with overwhelming negative feelings, like confusion, and hate. Well, if we allow ourselves be consumed by hatred in return, then the only thing that separates a killer from an innocent person is what we've actually, physically done.

I agree. I mean... I know we don't always mean what we're going to say, like I bet all of us have said "I'm going to kill you!" before and obviously we don't mean that because I don't think anyone here is a murderer, but like... just because someone did a horrible, horrible thing doesn't mean we have to lower ourselves closer to that level.

Personally, I pity that man. I pity him because he must not have had the love that everybody deserves in his life. I pity him because he did that. I don't know what it was---mental illness, or what. But I pity him for it. Nothing about that shooting was right or good. But that doesn't mean that we have the right, really, to say that that man goes to Hell.

That probably would go beyond our tear limit. It's just... D'':

I really don't even want to think about that because I can't afford to think that way unless I want to be a hermit and never ever leave my house.

And as bad as that was... I believe that everything happens for a reason. I can't say that I honestly believe their lives were "cut short" because if that's what God wanted it to be, then it wasn't short---it was long as they were meant to be.

Besides... it's just kind of bad to dwell on things like this. Even if you're not a Christian... if you think too much about this kind of thing, it's not helping anything at all. Personally, I believe the best way to deal with this kind of thing is to honor their lives and give condolences to their families, yeah---but move on. As much as I hate to say it, the world doesn't stop turning just because of a shooting in Connecticut.

It was a really bad thing that happened, and all we can do is hope (or pray, if your beliefs permit) that those families that suffered loss are going to be okay. There are some pretty messed up things that happen on this planet.

Yeah... and the sad thing is, that guy must have really been messed up in order to do that. But I mean, like, I have to believe that there was a Plan behind this, because honestly, if I don't believe in God, I have nothing to believe in and no hope that things are all for a reason. Like, I have to believe it happened for a reason, because I don't want to imagine it just... happening. For nothing.

For the list--
Mental illness.

From what I've studied of the bible, the bad things that occur on earth aren't necessarily things God intended to occur. they're more like unfortunate incidents that happen because God created man with free will, and that means people can do things he doesn't necessarily like.

Yeah, but still, I like to think that although it's not always good, things happen for a reason. Otherwise... honestly, I wouldn't want to live in this world if everything was just in vain, you know what I mean?

Yeah, I know what you mean. It is nicer to believe things happen for a reason.

Yeah. Because it brings hope, so I'd rather live in a happy little bubble than be exposed to bad things in the world. Like Daisy Buchanan says in the Great Gatsby, "That's the best thing to be in this world. A pretty little fool."

The thing is, just about everything really is in vain. One day the world will end. Whichever way we go, our earth is only temporary, and there's really no way to fix that. Someday, the human race will be wiped out, and everything that we ever did or were planning to do will have amounted up to nothing. The fact of the matter is the only thing you can do to comfort yourself about this fact is to accept it, ignore it, or do both. Because no matter what religion you believe in, there is no denying that someday, earth just won't exist anymore. So, in both the short and long terms, just about everything we do is in vain. That's why you just have to live with and appreciate what you have now.

I have a pretty detached point of view most of the time. I've gotten better with sympathy and looking at how occurrences affect specific individuals, but I used to have a hard time looking at anything but everything as a whole. I still do quite often. It helps me be unbiased, but it also makes me come across as not caring- which is not what I feel. I think awful things that happen to people are terrible, I feel bad for them, and I'm disgusted by the people operating these awful things. But whether or not I believe everything happens for a reason... well, I honestly don't know yet. I think we never know for sure.

I know. I mean - it's not in vain for my lifetime. Call me a selfish person; I won't deny it because I am. But that's just what's important to me. As long as it's all good in my lifetime, I'm happy.

Their aren't enough cupcakes. If there were more cupcakes, everyone would be happier.

... I'm pretty sure that there isn't any lack of cupcakes in the world. Trust me. Besides, there are many people who don't like cupcakes.

Feeling like you can't achieve your dreams

and genuinely wishing you'd never met someone

Homophobia.

Drug abuse, they are so hurtful to everyone: the person using them, their family, society etc. Drugs are just things that harm.

Transgender haters.

Overly protective parents. I know lame but I hate it, it just makes the kids more rebellious
