Resolutions I Should Have Made

Dear Me,

I know you don't really make resolutions. But maybe we should consider making just one? Who cares that it's almost March, this is important to your mental health. See, I've noticed that you tend to do something that only seems to make you mad and ruin your afternoon. You insist on reading comments that people post online. Particularly the ones of a political nature. Or even worse, you read articles you know are going to tick you off. I mean, did you think you would benefit from going to a website called "Mr. Conservative" and reading how Michelle Obama is ruining our lives by encouraging our incredibly obese country to not eat King Sized candy bars?

You can't help it that people are stupid don't agree with you. The great thing about this country is that they are able to spew their ignorance express their opinion without fear of being arrested! Your snarky comments, no matter how intelligent and witty, don't help and certainly don't change anyone's opinion. You just offend more people, cause a bigger rift, and nothing good ever comes from it.

"When leftist pundits speak of the scourge of Republicans and how stupid they are, they are talking about my family and a lot of people I know, and like. When the blow holes on the right talk noxious tripe about hunting liberals and the such, they’re talking about me, my family and a lot of people I know, and like."  - Collin Hinds 

So how about we stop reading and start doing something? Try to remember that showing people you care is more important that proving that you are right.

And you should probably stop writing letters to yourself.

Love,
Me
