Hate

I stopped blogging and in general writing anything at all after I saw Sherlock say ‘..stop inflicting your opinions on the world!’ to Watson. What can I say? … I just love that guy.

I Didnt get anything to write. But while watching a lot of youtube videos – one thing stuck out like a sore thumb. I could not resist ignoring it.

HATE.

Why do people hate others so much? What is there to get so hateful and angry about?  People hate stuff right from Justin Beiber to Anna Hazare. From Twilight to Argo,  From David Warner to Sachin. People seem to hate anything and everything they see. Why?

Nobody wants to be angry. Nobody wants to be shouted at or abused. in real life, its quite rare to see ‘normal’ people fighting on roads or out in the open in the name of movie stars, politicians, religion, race and football – anything at all. Nobody wants to come home with a black eye or sit in a hospital while the nurse sews your eye lashes. Nobody.

But give people a key board and some internet, they turn into monsters. Even the other guy’s parents aren’t spared. Why? It is quite natural for opinions to be different. But can’t all competitive edge just be kept on a leash? Like two school buses racing while on the way to a field trip? Is there anybody out there who wouldn’t want to be on one of buses nudging the big burly driver to drive faster? Nobody got hurt then.

And to top it all, some of the views are so primitive, I suddenly feel like I just travelled through a time machine. or was it you who just happened to come from the past? Progressive comments are condemned. People copy and paste jokes like ‘Go home you are drunk’ a bazillion times in an attempt to be funny. And the stupid ones… oh my god, don’t even get me started.  If a girl posts on the web, guys comment such lewd remarks that would make even other guys puke. Why? Don’t you have anything nice to say about people? Does your life suck so much that you have to vent it all out in the internet because it is free and you can’t get punched in your balls?

Maybe computers should be made more human-like. Every computer should be made in the owner’s image. That way, it would keep it more real. How about a machine that forces you to arm-wrestle against the guy you are arguing with on twitter? Arm-wrestle with him/her till you apologise. And you comment on a girl, your laptop gets a ‘moron’ stamp or ‘Paedophile’ mark that stays with it all through. Try taking that to work next day.

Wow. A hate post against all hate posts. Sherlock was right after all.
