contemplating.

i dont understand a lot of things.
i dont know why its called red cabbage when it is clearly purple.
i dont know why scientists had to destroy pluto's self esteem.
i dont know why it is assumed that girls dont know anything about football.
i dont know why girls have to shave their legs and guys don't.
but mostly, i wish i knew why everyone was so rude all the time.
making fun of people is horrible, and i am not going to say that i dont ever do it. because i know that i do. sarcasm is often the worst way to make fun of someone, and that is my worst habit.
im not sure who the person is who decided that insulting was a good idea. because its not.
i have had some seriously hurtful things said to me, even in the last week. and whether they were said in a joking way or not, they hurt my feelings.
self esteem is a tricky thing. its easier than anything else on the planet to tear down. but it is easily the most difficult thing to build back up.
im fairly good at hiding it when i am feeling really really "put upon." and a lot of people dont realize when i am.
but more often than not, the reason that i, and everyone else, make fun of other people, is because they arent in a good mood themselves, or their self esteem is really down.
i just wish that everyone could get along. hug your friends, smile at strangers, and say hi to the people that look sad. it will almost always make them smile, and the world will be a better place. :]
