LOVE NOT HATE

Recently, it seems, people are becoming more and more rude. Do you see this as well? Someone recently posted a photo of a waterfall and called it by an incorrect name, so I politely (very politely) corrected him, and he went ballistic on me. What the heck? Why would you be so angry about this? Remember the Bassi Falls winter photo? I posted it in a Facebook group, and I was called out by someone saying I should not post it because it is dangerous to go there in the winter! What? First of all, it’s not dangerous to go there. Secondly, who cares! Basically this person was saying no one can ever post any winter photos of any place ever!

Are you feeling too much fear because of the virus? You do not need to live in fear. God is in control of this. But even so, that is still absolutely no excuse to be so rude to other people. You may not be able to or you may not want to go hiking right now. That is your choice, but hiking is an essential activity, and if other people want to hike right now, that is their choice. There is nothing wrong with that, and it is not against any rules or orders. Do not be rude towards them, or show hate towards them. Please. Love, not hate.

This is Canyon Creek Falls #1, 42 ft. high.

    Thank you for posting what you post. No need to explain to us. Those of us who share the love of hiking understand what you do and have no judgement. Someone did that to me too when I posted some nice shots of hiking (alone and safe). He said, How about “Stay Home”!! Really got me. Grrr! I wanted to say something back. But I didn’t. I have nothing to defend. It’s his problem. Really is.

    The pandemic and public health orders have caused a lot of novices to take to the outdoors. Unfortunately, it means many public lands are more crowded than we might like. But it’s land that belongs to everyone, so we all need to do our best to get along and act responsibility.

    Hopefully the pandemic will end soon. But there will always be viruses that have the ability to kill people. Viruses evolve faster than human.
