We Are The Haters

Haters don't have to hate.

We Are The Haters

The only way to stop the haters is to calm the hatred tornado that swirls around inside each one of us every single day. We all must tame the beast within, if we ever hope to conquer hatred overall.

We all have to stop judging others based on small snapshots of their identity. We have to stop feeding off each other's negative critiques.

Everyone's existence is valid and hating on any form of existence is ridiculous, especially since we are all still figuring out how to be human anyway.

Making snap judgments is the root of the hate our generation likes to throw around. People judge others without taking the time to appreciate the perspective of others. If everyone could accept the fact that every point of view is valid, then hate would not exist. We disapprove of the ways people act because we don't realize that everyone has the right to exist in whatever way they please. Everyone's lifestyle is different and everyone has the right to live differently. Everyone's goal in life should be to live uniquely. Be as different as possible. Be yourself.

Judgment does create most of the hatred that's running rampant in today's world. Another way that hatred is spread is through people whom we admire. Hate is contagious. When someone dislikes something, people tend to follow that trend. Basically, hate is trendy. The problem is, people tend to agree with those who we admire, and people we admire tend to hate on certain ways of living. We need to be more individualistic and focus on thinking for ourselves rather than adopting other people's judgments. Validating each other's opinions is very important in order to end this flurry of hatred that seems to be taking this generation by storm.

We all hate, but we can learn to channel that hatred and judgment into productive outlets that breed appreciation for perspectives and different ways of thinking.

We cannot stop the haters until we stop the hater within ourselves.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
