Tonight the United States of America elected its first black president for a second term. Gay marriage and recreational marijuana use have been legalized in some states. The first openly-gay US Senator was elected. Facebook, Twitter, every television channel, all erupted and have been covering this election all day.
So it boggles my mind when I see someone complain about hearing any of it while proceeding to talk about their own petty issues.
I get that your kid's having trouble sleeping and it upsets you. I get that you think it's important to post pictures of your baby just sitting there. I understand that you do this every day because your child is your world.
But to berate the people who care about other things? To get irritated at people excited about the results of an event that happens once every four years? To scorn the passion with which people express their reaction to these historic events?
Get over yourself.
You're not the most important person in the world. You're not the only one that matters. You live in a world where you interact with other people.
Learn to do it right.
