Kill Everyone With Kindness

Where is being mean getting anybody?

Kill Everyone With Kindness

The hit single "Kill 'Em With Kindness" by Selena Gomez that is stating to stop the fighting is something that people often overlook. In today's society, it's easier to not care. It's easier to not fight for what and who you want, and it's easier to treat people like shit. But why?

Why is it so easy to tear people down and point out every single flaw, rather than taking a moment to understand what they are going through and try and help?

Let's say you see someone walking down the street and it is pretty evident that they have scars from cutting on their wrists. Do you walk by and say, "Wow, that girl/guy is so disgusting. Look at what they did to themselves." OR do you say, "Oh my gosh, that girl/guy must be so strong for even getting out of bed this morning and going outside. Good for them!"

I sure hope it's the second one...

How is it okay to live in a world where everything we do is judged? How if you're not a size zero and perfectly fit, then you're considered fat? If you don't get an A in one class, you're stupid? The fact that people believe that because you have a mental illness you're weak and damaged?

THEY ARE ALL WRONG! IT SHOULDN'T BE LIKE THIS!

All of this needs to stop, people of today's world need to open their eyes. Starting a war isn't going to solve the problem, it's going to kill everyone. So learn to be smarter, learn to care about other people and value life.

Please tell me if you're reading this you get it. This world is harsh and cruel, but it isn't necessarily the planet we live on, it's the people that are on the planet. What is the point of being cruel?

So instead of doing that, be kind. In fact, kill everyone with kindness because then we might finally get the point across that words hurt. The truth is, you will never know someone's back story until you sit down and talk to them. So why don't you try doing that instead of making fun of their torn up clothes, because their family can't afford to buy new ones.

You may think you know them, but you don't know their story. You don't know the obstacles that they've overcome to get to the point where they are at. James 1:12 states, "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him."

Can it truly come down to society overcoming adversity and making a change? Will we finally have peace between everybody?

Now that is up to you, each and every one of you. So choose wisely, or this could be the end of the human race.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
