Spitefulness....
I hate it. I love that people have opinions, but do you really have to be spiteful about it?
I was reading some posts on Facebook, and it seems that everybody had their own reasons for voting for Obama or Romney, which I love. But alot of them were very offensive. From both parties.
I, personally (although I can't legally vote yet), was on Romney's side because he represented more than Obama what I stand for.
I don't hate Obama, and I don't hate people. I hate Obama's failed promises and faulty views, and I hate people's desires to completely destroy other parties' opinions. I hate that some people refuse to question what they believe, and then get self-righteous in that belief, becoming hostile toward anyone who has anywhere from an opposing belief to even slightly different opinion.
IF people had mutual respect:
1) The world would be happier and much more peaceful;
2) People would not stomp on each other spitefully;
3) Politics would be friendlier; and
4) There would be much less hostility and grudges, for there would not have been friction to cause either.
Some people have their entire worlds based upon one single belief, like a deck of cards... take that belief away, or even manipulate it the slightest bit, and their universe will come crashing down. That, I understand, especially if in that person's universe, they're the boss. They wouldn't want to lose control of their happy little abode.
But when that belief is faulty, they need to eradicate it, to purge it from their sytem so that they can have a healthier lifestyle.
Back to my point, that above example is one possible reason for spitefulness.
There are many others, it's just that I have a problem with blind spitefulness.
