The first time I saw the "Pregnant Woman Car Sticker Incident", I thought it was a public welfare activity initiated by an organization, but after a closer look, I found that it was really not like that, and the more I looked at it, the more terrifying it became.
01
Imagine an expectant mother, with anticipation and joy of a new life, carefully putting on a maternity car sticker, hoping that other drivers will give you more attention and space.
This was supposed to be a warm reminder, but it unexpectedly became a problem for some pregnant women.
Some netizens shared their experiences after putting pregnant women's car stickers on their cars.
Netizen A said that since she put on the pregnant woman's car sticker, her vehicle is like being labeled as a "fragile product" and is frequently rear-ended. Every accident made her frightened, afraid that she and the fetus in her womb would be harmed.
Another netizen said that there was no problem with the car before the pregnant woman car sticker was pasted. Since the maternity car sticker, the tires of her vehicle have been maliciously deflated more than once.
What's more, a pregnant woman encountered malicious non-driving by other vehicles during driving, and the other driver seemed to be dissatisfied because of the pregnant woman's car sticker, deliberately honking her horn and changing lanes to scare her, so that she spent a long drive in panic.
These experiences make it incredible, why does a kind reminder attract so much malice?
Behind this, there may be some dark side of human nature, such as jealousy, resentment, or revenge.
When some people see the maternity car sticker, they may not feel sympathy and love, but instead take malicious actions because of some kind of dissatisfaction of their own.

The maternity car sticker incident is not isolated. Similar incidents are not uncommon in our lives, and they are like a mirror that reflects the true attitude towards the disadvantaged in society.
For example, novice drivers who have just obtained their driver's license have put a striking practice mark on their cars, hoping that other drivers can be more tolerant and understanding.
But unexpectedly, the eye-catching internship stickers aroused the desire of some drivers to win, and they showed their superb skills in overtaking and plugging in front of novice drivers, making novice drivers even more at a loss.
Another example is the kindergarten, which is supposed to be full of laughter and love, and there have been several incidents of people rushing into the kindergarten with weapons to maliciously hurt children.
I remember a real report of a man who suddenly broke into a kindergarten and attacked innocent children with a murder weapon. The children screamed and ran in terror trying to escape the nightmarish scene.
Their eyes were filled with fear and incomprehension, and they did not understand why someone would treat them so cruelly.
These incidents all reflect a common problem: vulnerable groups often face more challenges and dangers in our societies, and their kindness and vulnerability are often the target of attacks and harm by some.
They are like "soft persimmons" in society, being pinched and bullied at will. And this kind of bullying is not only a personal harm to them, but also a torture of the morality and conscience of the entire society.
Sometimes, people get malicious towards others for a variety of reasons. This malice may stem from jealousy, resentment, revenge, or simply out of impulsiveness and boredom.
But equally, there are many more people who show kindness and care when dealing with the vulnerable. They are willing to lend a hand and give help and support.
This kindness and care is the most valuable asset in our society.
When they see pedestrians crossing the road, some drivers will wait patiently and give pedestrians enough time and safe space.
Some drivers will gently honk their horns to remind pedestrians to pay attention, and although their behavior is a little impatient, at least they have not lost their respect and love for life.
There are also drivers who choose to go on a rampage, ignoring the safety of pedestrians, their behavior is full of indifference and ruthlessness, and their eyes reveal a kind of disregard and contempt for life.
These three different reactions reveal the diversity of human nature.

As parents, we need to guide our children to understand and respect everyone. No matter who the other person is, no matter what situation they are in, we should treat it with kindness and tolerance.
Society as a whole needs a more tolerant and kind mindset. When facing vulnerable groups, give more love and support, instead of hurting others because of negative emotions such as jealousy and resentment.
At the same time, society should strengthen the protection of vulnerable groups and enact stricter laws and regulations to punish those who bully and harm vulnerable groups.
Only when everyone learns to respect and understand others can we truly create a harmonious and safe social environment.
In this world, there are both kind and caring people, as well as cold and ruthless people.
Our society is made up of these two kinds of people, and when you meet good people, everything goes well, and when you meet evil people, you will have a hard time.
I remembered the two sparring partners I was looking for when I was training.
The first sparring partner saw that my car was labeled with an internship label and asked me to take it off, saying that the driver on the road would deliberately dismiss me, and it would be fine if I didn't put the label.
The second sparring partner saw that I didn't put up the internship label, so he specially asked me to put it on, saying that the drivers on the road would pay attention to keeping the distance between the cars when they saw the internship label.
I've been driving for 10 years now, and I think the second sparring partner makes more sense because I do the same.
Of course, there will be irritable drivers on the road who deliberately leave the car, but most drivers want to get to their destination safely.
There are still many good people in this world, just like we can always see drivers who give way to pedestrians, kind people who give up their seats to pregnant women, and strangers who silently take care of their children.
I believe in the Law of Attraction, where things gather like and people are grouped, and there will be more good people around good people.
When you encounter bad people and garbage people, there is no need to argue with them about right and wrong, stay away if you can, and don't let them affect our lives.
Be kind to others, protect yourself, and let the bad guys be punished, that's what society looks like, right?
