In my life, I'm going to start a revolution against unwarranted negativity.
Judging is a big thing for me. I've lost good friendships because I let it control me. Now I see those friends follow that same path and it breaks my heart.
I want to challenge people. I want to save them heartache down the road. But it's like that guy from survivingtheworld.net said, nobody really wants to be Batman, because he sacrifices himself and his reputation to make the world a better place. No one is selfless enough to do that. But we can try.

CLARIFICATION: I am not condemning rants or anger! I am a strong advocate for standing up for oneself, or those who cannot for themselves, etc. This is a rant itself. I keep a diary, and think that ranting is actually healthy. It helps you organize your thoughts so that you can stand firmer on what you believe. It releases stress, and is totally better than punching someone in the face. What I've found to be true, however, is that I feel so much better if I wait a while to post that rant. I'm no longer blinded by my anger, using it then constructively (because it's not bad to be angry!) or more eloquently. I really wish I could have gone into deeper things with this, but I couldn't if I wanted to hold people's attention. The hate and negativity I am attacking is the pointless "I'm going to blame anything but myself" kind. I'm a girl who celebrates the French Revolution every year, I think it's safe to say I support getting angry.
Sorry for the confusion. I didn't think more than ten people would see this.

DISCLAIMER: tl;dr, I'm a hypocritical bitch myself.

I am well aware of the irony and utter hypocrisy in this piece, believe me! It's a rant, yes, but I hoped to put a positive and constructive spin on it by making it a call to action. I wrote this because, first and foremost, I am angry at myself. I am royal screw up when it comes to this subject, so posting this doesn't make me a hero. It gives me less of an excuse to mess up. But I firmly believe that just because the messenger shoots himself in the foot doesn't mean the message itself is faulty. We can still rise above this.

Thanks, everyone. If this inspires you, please share! If not, thanks for coming by anyway. If it makes you angry--well, good! We ultimately need people like you to point out the idiots and hypocrites in society, otherwise, we would not grow. And through all my faults, that's my goal.
Edited some words for clarity, hope that's kosher. c:

This is exactly what i've been thinking about lately. This text is indeed something that people need to realise. I'm touched my to read this words. I think you've described it perfectly. Yet I'm still eager. Aren't you a bit wrong? It's true, people do let control themselves. But isn't you being in denial in this also part of it? You dislike hating so much. You need to express this. But doesn't this also activaties the part of mindset that's to pushy to it's surroundings. Doesn't this create the kind of person that would only try to push it's personal belongings that much in the front that he/she doesnt realize she/he creates even more hate around. Maybe it's just neccesary... Maybe people just need that hate to others to realize.
I agree with this text. I love it. I'm jealous you could put this into words. I am. I really am.
