World is not as bad as we think

It's all about what impact you leave on others mind and heart.

Social video making apps are on a hype nowadays as it gives a platform to anyone who wishes to be famous for acting, singing, dancing, lip-syncing or for posting most random acts. Scrolling through one of those I see many posts where the people have performed, all kinds of people, from rich to poor, any language, able, specially abled, survivors (warriors) of  acid attack and some more people with some kind of facial characteristics which would make them a topic of conversation if they were to go to a market or to a gathering where they had people  more than their closed ones.

It is very obvious that when anyone who has a characteristic which becomes an identification factor for them, like oh see The Fat Kid, or that fair one, the dark-skinned, the one with the scars, the one who limps, the bald one, the one with only one arm, the one who is  boney.  No matter how much one would be a great person, a performer or just great altogether, they are still judged on the basis of looks, identified in the manner. 

I went to the comment section of a few people who could be easily identified as one of the above mentioned. What did I expect? What do you expect to read in comments? Isn't it obvious that we expect the people like the society to be commenting upon the looks, I expected the same. As per my expectations, there were comments, rude and shaming the person. I felt a sense of anger, just wanting to bash the commenter, Freedom of speech is it? Humiliating a person based on their looks, but what shoo the floor beneath my feet was the number of people who already had bashed the commentator with hundreds of positive words for the performer. if I was to give an exact figure, on a post there were 378 comments out of which 8 were of people loading the performers with negative words, whereas rest 370 were just people spreading positivity in that one person and everyone's life.

This made me realize how wrong do I perceive the people to be. There are 10% of people who have wrong intentions, that's where we focus, totally ignoring another 90% of people who have a fair and good intention.  Yet we expect wrongs more than we expect the right things to happen. There are still people who see beyond the looks and they are the ones who make me believe that The world is not as bad as we think.
