The World Class Gusher

The much amplified and high speed negativity engaged in by our generation through the miraculous power of the internet is a much discussed and sometimes over discussed topic. From internet bullying, to the need to instantly and violently verbally jump on any individual who doesn't share your views, to the need to tear to shreds human life through character slaughter is the insatiable need of our generation.
I don't really want to discuss that. I just really don't. But here's the thing, I find myself more and more pouring out compliments over social media. Don't get me wrong, I am sincere person. I am not fake, I am not a gusher, I am not a tushy kisser. But I find myself clicking that like and now love and wow, and ha ha button almost on auto pilot. I find myself complimenting in superlatives and italics and all that is EXTREME. But positive extreme. There is just to much negativity, too much violence and too much soul slaughter.
I am all in favor of activism and being passionate in what you believe in. I don't necessarily believe in being PC and polite all though I tend to be both being a child born in the 80s and raised in the 90s. But I do believe this. if you compliment one person every day, on the internet, or better yet in person; Someone you know or someone you don't know and you do it in the best way possible you are small drop of change that is much needed in the world now. Each small drop can eventually build an ocean of positivity.
