To begin with this topic I want to make something clear, I don’t meant to offend anybody with my beliefs or with what I write. My intention is that you reflect upon it while you are reading and if you don’t feel like leaving a comment is ok then.

Having stated that, my idea for today’s post is to tell you about a situation that I underwent a few days ago. I was revising my facebook account and I come across a very disturbing post (it was disturbing for me at least) where someone explained about a 6 year-old boy that wanted to be a girl and that his mother had allowed a surgery in order for the boy to become a girl. This person not only explained the situation but also sentenced the mother by insulting her and calling her names that I won’t mention here. The post was really aggressive because it also made mention of God and how it was a sin to go against the nature imposed by God. “Pepita” (this is how I call this person) claimed that it was written in the bible that that was an aberration and even more, if someone would be willing to allow her children to do that, that person deserved to die. o.O

I felt quite irritated when I read that and I needed to write something back to that person so, I used the most polite words I could find and I explained to her that although she didn’t agree with the mother’s decision  she should not use such  hard lines to show it. My intention was to make her realize that she was promoting fury and that she also could hurt someone else’s feeling with her words.

But it was not only her who used to write very aggressive posts, is many other people who have no “filter” in their mouths, or in this case, in their writings. We all have our opinion and it is ok that we express them. Let’s just be careful with how we say things since we ARE writing for the rest if we make it public like in facebook.
