Following the high moral ground like sheep

There are a few people around who get on everyone’s nerves, they are the people who mimic ethicists. They are the people who go around forcing opinions about how indignant the world is and they generally try to make everyone around them feel bad.

They are quick to show dismay at how little everyone else in the world cares (when no-body is listening to them); this is not because few people in the world have morals (people are generally good) but because these wannabe ethicists haven’t themselves done any conscious thinking to earn the right to be on the moral high ground.

Most of the time these people haven’t witnessed acts to inspire them into charity, rather they watch something on television or get told that they should be outraged about something. That is a terrible reason to get involved.

A recent popular topic for these people regards the Chris Brown and Rihanna incident. Yes Chris Brown is a terrible person and his music is awful, but the only reason they care is because he is a celebrity. Go show the same hatred towards the drunk down the end of your street.

A true ethicist (Like Gandhi) doesn’t guilt trip because their time is dedicated to helping, not talking.

The thing about people who make everyone around them feel bad is that people stop wanting to be around them.
