I don't know if this a thing that basically my Facebook feed has become overly enamored with or if it's part of a larger social backlash or if it's something that other people are noticing.
Basically it goes like this.
1. Someone shares a feel good / heartwarming story about someone helping someone or overcoming someone.
2. Someone immediately responds "NOOO! That's not heartwarming at all! It's horrible that this thing is happening in the first place!"
And I don't get this. It's not just that it's overly cynical but I always just assumed we all understood that "Yeah it sucks that situation exists but we can still see good in people's reaction to it."
But it seems like now when we see someone pulling a dog out of raging flood waters there's a growing number of people who think the proper response is to no tell the guy that's a good thing he did but scream "NOT HEARTWARMING! The flooding shouldn't have happened!"
It's just a little disheartening to me how many people seem to be trying to talk themselves into a place where the only "win" they will accept is going to be "Someone Thanos snaps and all problems ever of all time magically disappears in an instant."
