Being nice is not a one time only thing...

Today came the sad news of yet another Kpop idol passing away, police claiming it might be suicide. I send all my love and thoughts towards the people that loved Sulli dearly and that now are in grievance.

My time lines are filled with condolences and essays about why bullying can hurt people and that we should spread less hate. And that is great. But a lot of these messages say things like "please be nice today", "on this day we should not spread hate" and that is all well and great. But what about tomorrow? What about yesterday?

The Kpop community is full to the brink with hatred and animosity and I think it is not ok to let down those weapons only when someone actually died. Is it hard for people to be nice more than one day in a year? Can't you be more considerate and empathetic every day or at least try to be? I know that the people writing these messages probably don't mean it that way. But I feel like we should be more aware that being nice and respectful towards each other is something we can do every day of our lives and not just when we are shocked by these kind of news.

And trying to be is already enough sometimes. If you are nice and respectful 7 out of ten cases but you at least tried to be in those other 3 cases, then that is already so wonderful. Everyone gets emotionally riled up sometimes and if we say something hurtful then, it is a shame and we have to apologise for it. But it won't make us a bad person, it would make us human. Not thinking about what my words will do to others however, spreading malice thoughts and feelings without feeling like we did something wrong makes us assholes. Sorry for the swear word...

I do not have a big following, so there won't be many people seeing my thoughts. But I still feel like sharing this is something I had to do. I hope you understand.
