I read somewhere a few days back an argument for something that went like this "Isn't it better to care too much than none at all??" and I've thought about this and I have to say that.. no, it's not better to care too much. 

 

Even if you personally don't care, there are always someone who does.. and normally (well I work like that anyways) since you're indifferent to the situation, you could help if someone asked you to, cus for you,, it doesn't really matter. 

 

When you care too much, however, it can create a reversed effect towards those you want to help, almost like you're pushing them away and make them defensive rather then making them want to help you. Or.. something like is happening here in sweden atm can happen.. where they want to forbid people to dress up as gingerbread men because it might be racist.. (It's a fucking cookie, ofc it's not bloody racist...). 

 

These kind of things pisses me off.. you can't hide everything you think is bad from people, it doesn't work like that.. and even if you managed to keep your children away from badness their entire childhood, how do you reckon they'll take it when they all of the sudden they end up in a bad situation, not so good I'd imagine. People have to get hurt, that's how we learn after all.. 

 

I was brought up in a world were things like homosexuality and sex wasn't a big deal, it wasn't bad and neither was it better than anything else in this world. This left me feeling like they were normal, I treated both subjects like they weren't any different to anything else. I think this is a good thing, I think that that's how we should handle the situation. If you meet someone who's overly positive about everything, doesn't it annoy you just a little bit? Or the other way around if you meet someone who's overly negative about everything. I can see why people would get defensive towards this kind of behaviour.. and I'm starting to think that this is a reason to why we still debate stuff like gaymarriage.

 

I don't know if any of this makes sense, it does in my head.. but I'm not an expert in explaining my thoughts so..
