Who are we at the end of the day? We are our stories, the stories we share, the stories we choose to hide and the stories we get attractive to.
I am not planning to change anyone, but whenever you side with abusers, you become one. Every time you share something hateful you become one. Every time you spread incorrect narrative, you become one. We associate people with everything they eat, watch, do,  share and promote. While it isn't always wise but who even has the time to know you personally and find out why you are being hateful!
Last few days have been really difficult. I was working all day, everyday. In between breaks whenever I came on instagram I saw attacking, insensitive posts. It made me realize way too many people feed nonsense and share their stupid unwanted view on people they are no way connected with.
First of all, if you don't know them personally, you don't know how they are. Stop believing everything you see on news. Talk about issues that needs attention rather than talking about same old celebrity break up. Instead of highlighting flaws, hype up your favourite artists. Instead of bashing someone's choice, express your views politely.
Stop attacking people from other religion, cast and country. Hating on some other country doesn't make you a patriot.
Share the stories that reveal your beautiful mind, your wonderful belief system and a life that you worked hard for. It's easy to post something controversial and get attention. What is hard is being yourself and trying to be better.

Also incase someone starts saying to ignore.
I tried for last 2 or 3 months. It didn't help. Ignoring won't solve the problem. But I did 3 things anyway- 

1. I went to the explore section and reported "not interested" the posts that doesn't interest me or trigger me. (It's not post report. This is just a way to let instagram algorithm know your preference)

2. Unfollowed accounts who share offensive and hurtful stuff.

3. Muted accounts that share triggering posts and contents.

To sum up this long ass writeup, please make better choices. Don't be the reason, someone feels uncomfortable.

Sorry if I hurt anyone
