It struck me today.
When people are pissed off & outraged what do they actually do?
By and large – Fuck all!
They share a post.
Add an angry face.
Write a comment.
Does any of that actually do anything?
I don’t think so.
It’s like I said in a previous post, most of what they do, is generally sharing with other people that have the same views/opinions which makes that whole process pointless.
Preaching to the converted.
I don’t get involved.
It seems to give those involved the satisfaction of being part of it.
Making a difference.
If you aren’t out of your comfort zone and doing something that you would normally do…then you really aren’t doing anything.
Do something that costs you something – money or time. Or both.
Am I a hypocrite? Probably.
I can’t actually think of anything that I get so outraged about that I feel the need to rant & share.
Maybe I am too laid back.
Easy going.
Maybe I am part of the problem.
Ask all the people that actually made a difference over the hundreds of years what they sacrificed.
It would have been more than 5 minutes of their time & a few movements of fingers on a screen or keys for sure.
So back to the title.
Shit or get off the pot.
