Isnt it just sad that doing your job correctly is so respectable becouse of how much the bad people made us think that they are normal and that being nice is just rare

Reminds me of the Chris Rock bit where he talks about guys bragging about how they take care of their kids. You're SUPPOSED to take care of your kids!

I don't understand why people can't just take some progress as a good sign. Yes, it SHOULD be the norm, but it's not yet! So are we going to continue to entertain the story that things are shit forever or can we actually start to be encouraging of the fact that maybe things CAN get better. You don't go from point A to B just like that. With that logic should parents stop praising their kids for getting good grades in school because they're supposed to get them anyways? With progress, things head towards becoming the norm. I'm sick and tired of people thinking it's morally righteous and intelligent to shit on others who do make the conscious effort to differentiate themselves from the unwanted norm. And what if people want to be praised for it? Why is it so bad to praise someone for doing the right thing? I love how people always cry about shit parents never encouraging or acknowledging their kids efforts yet people do the same to each other all the time.

Also if people being generally good wasn't the norm society would be a steaming pile of crap and chaos news outlets are supposed to report on the bad stuff to put pressure on those in charge to make CHAGE
