Good Evening all,
So as I was driving home today from work certain things crossed my mind. I have always been passionate about cars and I can spend hours of my free time just looks at cars and reading about them and imagining driving them...I digress.
However, recently, I noticed that a perfectly decent human being and stand up citizen can fall into the trap of road rage so easily. How is that a person with a good sense of humor and a good personality can turn so nasty just because someone cut them off in a lane, or caused a slight drop in speed, or forgot to turn that signal light off? Why does that cause so much anger and anguish? Would it not be a simpler alternative to let it go? (just like that song). What triggers that "Dark side"?
So coming back to our beloved XRP community. So I don't really partake in the FUD bingo that goes on or make any valuable technical contribution to the conversation in twitter but I watch and I listen to see how the conversation goes and the kind of climate it takes. Many members stand forth and show their support while others wait by the sidelines. Then there is this whole anger that comes forth with others saying "you can't say that" or "you are not supposed to say that". I realise the sense of justice is strong in both parties and I think that's perfectly fine.
We can't impose our values on others but we can try our darnest best to explain these things. If they don't agree, it's ok. If they do, that's ok too. We are entitled to different opinions and that's what makes the community great.
I did say that I would like to write about positive things that shape human society...and I do. It's diversity. It's present and might not always present itself in the way we want it, but it's there. So don't get angry...just let it go?
Best Regards
Mr K
