planets out of alignment, perhaps

Wow what happened last week?

Perhaps the planets and stars were out of alignment?  Or maybe Venus passing in front of the sun caused unrest within the human population temporarily disabling the function of manners and respect for others.

Last week I witnessed both in real life and the internet world explode with selfish action.

• the Chrissy Swan debacle
• charity pages for children being bombed with so called "do gooder" comments
• family negatively talking about other family members, so not cool
• bloggers getting jealous of prominent bloggers being picked up by a PR agency, jealously is a curse ladies, I aspire to be a blogger that may one day indeed be picked up by such an agency
• blog posts be taken down, FB pages being closed, all due to general nastiness
• the internet is FOREVER, and you are liable for what you write, keep that in mind
• remember that real people are behind blogs, FB pages and Tweets, these people have feelings

Perhaps we need to go back to the old school adage of  "if you have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything at all".

Do you believe in Karma?
