Is Trolling Becoming A Terror

Tweeting, posting and uploading content nowadays is constantly being backed-up by a great terror. Terror of getting trolled.

Our youth generation is being driven blindly by this urge to become savage that they have reached the boundries of creating a fear among other people. And this terror isn't for doing something wrong, rather it is for doing everything.

Today's scenario has reached a state where people are scared to tweet or post anything given the fear of getting trolled, made fun of, or being defamed. Be it a joke, a satire, a mere teasing, of seeking of amusement from any trend. The youth is seen spreading negativity, demeaning people, making fun of other people's opinion, condemning fun seeking actions and much more. Actors and politicians have always been their main targets, but now the limits have reached to trolling common people out of nowhere. All for what ? To gain an image ? To be recognized as savage ?

Well, to be honest, there is a certain difference between acting savage and actually hurting people's feeling, disturbing their mental peace, and mocking them. We are gradually crossing all lines of humanity while making ourselves believe that we are rather conserving the remaining humanity. The irony.

We are even trolling strangers, the people we know nothing about, just for the sake of being called hilarious ? I personally believe that trolling is rather an action to provide ourselves a sense of superiority , a sense of having rights to judge people, and to feel better about our own defaults. Why else would anyone mock the simplest actions of other people ?

I've witnessed people getting trolled for just using a site. I've seen many get trolled for amusing themselves in any trend. And I've observed many people being mocked for having some personal opinion. Given current scenerio, the time would be no far when people would dread to even post a wish due to the fear of getting mocked for that too.

Instead of minding their own business and actually utilising sites for having fun and making memories with their friends, seeking enjoyment, the youth is massively getting carried away by the zeal to correct other people, judge their actions, and mock them to defame, demean and make fun of them as a punishment they've decided by own.

Well, who are we to judge ? Who are we to announce decisions for wrong doings of other people ? Trolling being performed by a vast number of people has made other people question even their simplest actions. They are constantly pestered by the results of uploading their opinions. And even worse, they are bothered by the reactions they'd get of people if they post any picture of themselves. Because let's not forget one of the biggest termites of this society - body shaming.

We are at the edge of losing values of the phrases like positive appreciation, encouraging good behaviour, supporting the needy, and providing a helping hand for good cause. It's a high time that we realise the magnitude of the effects of constant trolling on social media, and save the drowning dignity of humanity.

There are more than thousands of people that might be suffering from anxiety, depression, stress, and terror, solely because of the judgemental society we all live in, that spares no opportunity of commenting or assaulting the fellow people for any damn action.

Let's make a better society we all dream of, where the freedom of expression isn't a notion only in consideration, but is practised. Where we all feel safe to wear whatever we want to, hang out with whoever we want to, and post our simplest random thoughts without the fear of getting called out. And the first step to that staircase includes 'stop feeding trolls'.

Yes, no trend or popularity seeking action be it positive or negative is persuasive until unless there are people enjoying and appreciating that content. We first have to stop providing fuel to this fire of trolling. Cause no fire burns long enough if it isn't provided with conductors.

Let's establish the harmony that human race desperately needs. And so I quote this popular saying, ' It's not us against each other, it's we all together against a problem '
