My observation and reflection

 

Recently, when I've been travelling to the school by public transportation, going for walks or to the shop, I noticed that people are looking at each other (including at me) like they hate everyone. They look at you with so much hate in their eyes and it feels like they are unstoppable judging you, which can drastically decrease your mood. When I was abroad for example in Germany and the Netherlands, there was a whole new world. People on the streets were smiling at you, everyone offered their help and i felt really good around other people (unlike in Poland).

I think that it may be caused simply by our character. Since centuries Polish people were told that they deserve something better, that they always are the victims and that everyone is against them. So no wonder that nowadays people think the same way but, more often, about a particular social group or certain people. A lot of people (especially politics) criticise not only their opponent, but also civilians. We are not learning to respect each other more but instead of that, we are only learning to hate each other more.

  1. Oh, there's so much truth in what you say! Unfortunately. In Britain complete strangers will smile at you when they pass you in the hall or in the park.
