Once upon a time, I knew to Treat Others with Respect. In modern days from learning and personal experience, It changed to; Treat others the way they like to be treated? It is just easy to say or do what we like and ignore others by simply miss understanding, miss judging and/or just being careless about what others think, do or feel?
Thanks to social media, I am linked to hundreds of friends and few groups/networks and I notice many people are not interested in any cause or issue that may be of concern to others around them. In the same way many of these friends notice what I am interested in & what causes are close to my heart?
Somehow, they don't understand my issues and causes such as Humanity and Poverty, feel uncomfortable about it and a tiny minority even stop communicating with me. I understand them, the path they want to take in life and this is entirely their choice but what amazes me is that many of these people I considered friends or at least friendly to have such a lack of understanding about the issues that concerns me and the causes I support.
Fair enough, people have their own problems to deal with, no time to care for or nerves to cope with the causes of other friends who are trying to bring a positive change or an improvement through advocacy, humanitarian work and/or activism for social change.
Unfortunately, In this world there are many of us who do not care for/or are not interested in what is going on around them? They are happy to go with the flow and I am happy for them.

So I shut them out the way they try to shut me out and treat them the way they treat me.
I have chosen my path and will not give up, doing my little bit for the world to be a better place. I do not want to live for just a few selfish "friends" but I want to be a part of all selfless activists and advocates who care and share.
