Stop making decisions for other - p1

Hello little peepole!
(You do know that I spelled it like that on purpose, don't you?)

So recently, I mean let’s just say from the year 2010 I’ve been noticing this trend among people.
It’s called the Hater trend. Apparently it’s cool to be a hater. No I don’t mean those YouTuber or actor specific haters. I mean misanthropes in general. If you look closely, all of us have a little bit of misanthropist in us. We hate everybody, don’t we? Sometimes? Never??? Pat yourself then, well done …..Who are you kidding there?

I’m actually referring to the demise of Paul Walker as I write this post. And let me tell you, I have absolutely no clue who he is {apart from the fact that he is associated with the “Fast and Furious” movie franchise, movie that might have something to do with cars? I’m guessing (don’t judge)} I don’t plan to Google or watch the movie because it isn’t the genre of movie I’m interested in. I’m more of a rom-comer.
So people worldwide (let me restrict my post to people of my country as I hardly have Facebook friends from other countries) started posting RIP messages which is alright in my POV. But then these haters, damn….haters just have to hate, don’t they?!?

So let us divide the status updaters.
1. People who knew PW and followed the movie and its sequels closely. They were left devastated, shocked and their pain was pretty apparent in the way they were mourning.
2. People who did not know PW, had heard about the franchise and posted a status for him
3. People who had no clue about the movie and the person and still posted a stat.

So, many of the first category people believe it is their and only their right to post RIP statuses for him. :\
Why? What makes you decide that?
Mourning for a person is a sign that you wish well for the person, that somewhere you respect the person and that you mean well for the beloved people that suffered a huge loss due to the deceased’s death. (Can I say that, deceased’s death?  :/ :\)

People cannot decide who people mourn for and who they don’t. God forbid, tomorrow a favorite sport star of yours might get injured or even worse, may quit, retire …etc. you cannot expect the world to go nuts about it. But you cannot also force people to take down updates about them because you believe you are the sole fan. That’s some dumb logic that you’ve got.
Another thing was that people started posting hate messages – no one cares about the friend, no cares about the typhoon affected people, the ones killed in the shoot out….seriously?

People feel for them, it is human nature to feel appalled for them. But it’s up to them to decide who they publicly mourn for. The friend had a family, had PW’s family, had well wishers who knew him well and who wished well for him. People had no clue who was driving and it slipped their mind. Thousands of people die every day...of cancer, aids, because of criminal attacks, calamities. Haters please, go out there and find out names of all the people who die every day and post statuses for them. Why not? Don’t you care about them? Isn’t it harsh on your part to favor a star, star’s friend but not the commoners?  

Stop being the ruler, the controller.
The world is not your gaming console and you aren’t in charge of the gaming pads/joysticks.
So chill out.

You are the ruler of your life only. You cannot take away someone’s right to mourn, feel sad. Probably you don’t adore a person, doesn’t mean other’s have to too. There is already too much negativity in the world. Don’t add to the crowd that is just here to increase the weight of the planet.
Contribute, if you can, in a way that people appreciate you or your way of life.
I dislike those people who have a favorite sport, a show or something they follow and they call my obsession of YouTube stupid. Seriously?
What gives you the right to decide that?
I did not post a stat for him but I could see so much hate and negativity all around. Shouldn’t you be happy so many people wish well for your beloved star?
Why are you such a hater?
Where is all that negativity coming from?
Introspect.
And if possible, calm down
