FLOORED!

I am completely floored...

I just came across a new YouTube channel about full-time RVing and have been really enjoying their videos this morning.  The last video I watched was about the time they were robbed while on contract work near San Diego, CA.  The video discussed the fact that while they had a ton of insurance it actually covered almost none of the items that were stolen from them.

I decided to check out some of the comments (not a typical practice for me) to see if anyone had any suggestions or tips about the property RV insurance to get if you plan to full-time RV.  I was completely floored by the heartlessness of many of the comments!

"IDIOT!  Total rookie mistake to ever leave anything in your car in CA!"
"You did NOT get robbed!  You were the victim of theft!"
"That was a stupid move...stay out of California."

I could not help but think about how people just feel free to say anything as long as they can hide behind a computer or phone screen, but would they actually say these mean and unkind things to someone's face?  I really have no words by reading many of these comments to the point that I had to close the app and move one.

What has our world come to?  How is it that such heartlessness and unkindness is so acceptable in our society?  This is one of the main reasons I have put off actually making videos; not necessarily fear of bad comments, but just not wanting a platform that allows the perpetuation of negativity.

My heart hurts for those who have to endure the negative comments as well as the commenters themselves...allowing negative speech, whether written or verbal, has the power to kill anything and everything around it.

Words are powerful...how will you use your words today?  Please use them for good.
