Society has a lot to account for.
Many still stick to conventional (or downright antique) thought systems about good and bad/right and wrong. An online community shared the 15 common so-called “virtues” that mean nothing.
Functioning On No Sleep
This is nothing to be proud of, folks. You’re shaving years off your life. One user shared, “Neil deGrasse Tyson once proudly said in an interview that he operates regularly on only 4-5 hours of sleep, and now I can see it in any of his other interviews. Snappiness, abruptness, impatience, etc., let alone the bags under his eyes.”
Get your shut-eye, people. Ignore the nay-sayers.
Never Missing A Day Of Work
We guess some people missed the memo that we’re all human, and it’s okay to get sick, need some time off, or take a break.
“Not only is there nothing wrong with taking a personal or sick day, odds are you care way more than your employer does.”
And if your employer does care – big red flag.
Hustle Culture
There seem to be many bragging rights that come with the grind, and really, why? It just comes across like your whole life is your job. One user said this:
“Bragging about spending obscene hours at work (100-120 per week) and never taking vacation time. Your employer doesn’t appreciate it; they are just exploiting you for their benefit, and you are burning yourself out for no reason.”
Unsolicited Advice
Yes, thank you, Carol, for sticking your oar in.
“The advice is usually terrible too. ‘Solutions’ people listen to half the problem then fast forward to the part where they hear themselves talk, and therefore the advice doesn’t fit the situation.”
Unless it’s asked for, advice shouldn’t be given out.
Social Media Profile Filters
As in, the ones that “show support” for whatever disaster/crisis the world is suffering at any given moment.
“I like when they keep applying the filter on top of other support filters. It’s like virtue signaling Fordite.”
So-Called Random Acts Of Kindness
“Filming themselves doing a good deed. You’re doing it for the film, not the deed.”
This is about the rising TikTok trend of people filming themselves doing kind things, like giving food to a homeless person, and it’s not okay.
Being A Christian
Being part of any religious group does not automatically make you righteous. One user said, “I’ve been told that I’m automatically a selfish person because I am an atheist. My usual comeback is, ‘I do good things without the promise of reward. You only do them because of the promise of reward. Who’s the better person here?”
I Say It How It Is
Those “brutally honest” people… yeah, no one appreciates you.
“A lot of people who are ‘brutally honest’ have the interesting tendency of leaning more on the brutality than the honesty,” one user said. And we agree. It just seems to be an excuse to rip into someone.
Being A Morning Person
Lord knows where the silent narrative is that morning people are more upstanding than night owls, but it’s still alive and well in our society.
“My dad still hates my absolute guts because I work graveyard shifts. He tries to call me or stop by my house when I’m sleeping, and his eyebrows furrowed, going, “ALL YOU DO IS SLEEP ALL DAY.”
Being “God-Fearing.”
“‘God fearing’ doesn’t make you a good person or [means you] make good choices; it just makes you fearful of the vengeance from the deity that you pray to,” one user shared.
Another wholeheartedly agreed, “Yeah, they’re pretty much admitting the only reason they act civil is because they fear the consequences.”
Southern Hospitality
Many Southern natives will debunk the idea of Southern hospitality. For example, “I’ve lived here my whole life; wanna know a secret? It’s fake. I can’t tell you how often I watched someone be polite and friendly to someone turn around and say nasty terrible things behind their back. How many people put on this persona, but if you dig deeper, they are terrible.”
Humble Bragging
Double points if it’s done on social media. Grim.
“Posting selfies of themselves doing community service. We get it, Carol; you did one good thing this month so that you can be a terrible person the other 30 days.”
Carol strikes again!
Transactional Behavior
One person specified, “I’m surprised at the number of men who think that being nice to a woman means they should get in their pants. No, sir, you are not prince charming. You just behaved like a normal adult should.”
Well said, internet user!
Having Children
The belief that parents are less selfish than childfree people is still rife within society.
“I have nothing against families and wanting them, but those who act smug and like they are superiors just for having reproduced (bonus points for those who do it while being obviously bad parents/making their children miserable, adding to the insult).”
Pseudo-Revolutionary Support
An example by this user: “Wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt made by a child in Bangladesh, instead of a jacket made by a well-paid adult tailor and thinking you are a better person for it.”
Che would be hanging his head in shame.
