UGH! It's Hopeless.

I can't believe I've been fighting for 3 days. Wasting time completely over nothing. When some people are too close-minded to see my point.
When some people are disrespectful, rude, close-minded, insensitive, dull, apathetic, heartless, and also expect other people to be like them.
When to some people, "respect" is not a common sense.
When "hurting others is wrong" is not a common sense.
When it's the victim's fault for feeling offended. Not the culprit's fault for offending others. "Because hurting other people is normal."
When supportive commenting is called "asspatting".
When supportive people are called "white knights".
When they threatened people to "grow a thicker skin or leave the internet" when a people stated that they are offended by what they do.
There is nothing you can do in this kind of messed up world. I have just realized that I have been yelling at deaf people, writing at blind people. They will not listen to any reason.
If you are a parent, please remember this and teach your kids to not be like this.
If you are a kid, please remember this and NOT be like this.
The previous ***** Journal of mine have been deleted after receiving more than 100 comments. I have to thank you to both the agreeing and respectful disagreeing comments. ( Yes, there are respectful disagreeing comments. I really thank you for that. We had some good discussion with no swear words in it. Thank you for making me feel like I could ask you for suggestions. )
I have been struggling because I couldn't understand why people are so... like this.
In Thai, there is a word "เกรงใจ" Which means "to care for other people's feelings". I can't seem to find the fitting word in English.
Right, there is no such word. So much culture shock. I don't think I can live anywhere outside of Thailand.
Last week, I lost my wallet.
I looked everywhere but couldn't find it. I asked random strangers and most of them helped me. Some even helped me dig the trashcans including ones in restrooms.
They didn't even have to. I have nothing to give them in return. So why do it?
...because they "care". They know what it feels like for someone to lose a wallet.
Then, a person found my wallet.
I can't believe that the finder would even bother to go through so much trouble just to find me, so he can return it. Why? because he "care".
He couldn't find me, but he found my faculty that he read from my ID card and student card.
I wasn't there, I was out canceling ATM's card for security. so he left my wallet in my senior's "care".
My senior went through the trouble to find me, She didn't find me but found my classmates instead.
My classmates went through the trouble to find my numbers and call me to get my thing.
I rushed back to receive what I thought I have lost forever, after just 4 hours of missing.
I found everything was still intact. After this wallet of mine have passed through so many stranger's hands, Not even one Baht went missing.
None of them had to do what they did. They could have just took the money and throw the wallet away. However, none of them did so. Even though they didn't get anything in return except for my eternal appreciations and thankfulness.
So why do it? Why help a stranger like me? Why dig trashcans in restrooms for someone they haven't ever met before?
Because Thai people have so much generosity, so much "เกรงใจ", so much "care". We have it so much that it is very normal. We always put others' hearts into ours. We treat others like how we wanted to be treated. Whoever lack "เกรงใจ" will be damned for eternity from the society.
With this one word that only exist here, the world that I live in is a very wonderful place.
I may seem to be living in an ideal world. But this is real. This is the world that I've grown up in.
I have been rudely awaken up, the rest of the world is different. So much culture shock. I am shocked. I've had many culture shocks before. But never before that I am this shocked.
What have the world become?
On a little note just for FA.
I'm beginning to love FA more than DA. People I have met so far are so open-minded.
None of you ever say bad things even though I draw something that is totally freaky.
To most people on FA, the phrase "don't like it, don't look at it" is still a common sense here.

As for the rest, I know exactly how you feel hun, I am sorry to say.
Oh, this is a secret for FA people. That troll that has been barking at me, she's autism.
Yeah... imagine how I feel when I found out that I've been trying to teach a mentally retarded something she can never understand.
I always forgot that not everywhere is like where I live.
I do have a thick skin. You can't really offend ME that easily. but when they're making fun out of my friend's misery. I can't help but feel enraged.
Just wish I could do something to help, but at least if you need support then know that this is one door at least that is always open. Even if that support generally is little more than just moral support. (not for any lack of wishing I could do more I might add)
Don't go spam them like I did. lol. You'll just came back battered and achieved nothing.
The TOS of FA states that users may not harass other users and that there are consequences to such violations of the code of conduct that they explicitly agreed to uphold when they created their account.
It's up to us to let the Admins know who the troublemakers are and not to keep quiet about it. The Admins can't cull such behavior if they're not made aware of it.
If you already know all of this... well, maybe others may not and then this information will help them. I just want to get it out there.
Be like the duck, who sheds water from it's feathers like it's nothing! Please know that there are those who appreciate your work. ^.^
This whole matter is happening at DA not FA. and the victim isn't me, but my friend.
He was stormed by haters for drawing "muscular feral wolves"
Nothing can really upset me that easily if they're targeting me, but when it's my friend, I can't can't help but feel enraged.
So I jumped into the scene and try to fight for my friend,
I became the target too.
Um... Good luck. ^^;
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and your friend.
DA is getting worse after they changed ownership. I miss the old owner...
