So true, so true. When this first started, it was not like this, but as the V's grew, diversified, etc. the "fault finding", increased and seems to have hit a peak during "Covid" (?) seems to me. But also "social media" in general just continues to be a growing avenue for pointing out the short comings of others, displaying one's own "superiority" in intellect, correcting the perceptions of others, and all manner of other "tearing down" comments and behaviors. It makes you wonder why people don't get more pleasure out of building UP others, or at least respecting others ? It's one thing to suggest another way of approaching a home maintenance task, or a better route to a destination, etc., that type of thing. But others just seem to get actual pleasure out of feeling "superior" ? I remember once, many years back, reading a request someone wrote concerning tipping and the need to be kind but also financially careful in retirement. Something many face with limited in come and no way to "get promoted" to raise income, LOL ! Fixed is fixed. But while there were many kind and understanding replies, one "superior" intellect did not hold back on telling the individual that if they could not afford at least a 20% tip, they should NOT celebrate their birthday out ! ! Now when you sit back and analyze a reply like that, it really reveals much more about the writer than at first glance. To be so sure of one's self, and position, as to suggest that another person has no business going out in they can not not afford a generous tip ???? It's amazing ....grab a cup of coffee one morning, and just scan all the boards/forums for comments that build UP others, give encouragement, hope, etc. there are some, yes, but just notice the number of comments that appear to have the purpose of making others feel "small", or naive, and sometimes "dumb". Puzzling ?
