Aloha Kamehameha, Mr. V back again trying to make you better people.

Today, what’s really mashing Mr. V’s kalo are people who are so obsessed with getting content for social disease media that forget to be compassionate human beings. Mr. V has seen this with his own eyes too many times already, and once is too many times!

The other day a good friend of Mr. V had a small accident in ‘Akahi where they slipped on some spilled food and fell to the ground. Mr. V’s friend, luckily, was not seriously hurt, but it was the reaction of some of the students that really got Mr. V upset. First, the students were laughing! Rather than checking to see if she needed help up or at least making sure she was okay, their first reaction was to laugh! Where is the compassion? Where is the caring? This is unbelievable and unacceptable!

On top of that a couple of the students could be seen on their phones! Mr. V is hoping they were not filming to post on social disease media, but with all the things Mr. V has seen on social disease media, he can only assume the worst. When did people stop rushing to help others when they are in distress? When did it become “acceptable” to laugh at other’s misfortunes? When did it become the norm to film others when these types of things happen? We need to put our phones away and remember to be compassionate first. It ain’t dat hard to help those who need it.

Don’t laugh, don’t film them, and don’t ridicule them. One day, it might be you who is the one having the accident. Would you want others to laugh at you or film you and post it? We need to think with compassion and empathy. Help others, not look for views on social disease media. Because, people who post the misfortunes of others on social disease media, dat’s what’s mashing my kalo!
