People

It's about time to finally give my views on people in general. Most of the people who read this, know a bit about my dislike for the human race. Here's my whole view.

Ok, the basic point is I don't like people much. We're rude to each other, we kill other animals for sport, we waste everything, we're inefficient and stupid, and we pretend everything's all alright. It's disgusting. The sight of people has started to sicken me, except for a few friends and such. I've lost faith in most of humanity, except for two people, one being my friend Morgan, the other I don't think I want to name, just in case... Now this isn't to be disrespectful to the rest of you. Just because I don't have any faith in you doesn't mean you're unkind or anything. In fact, you may want to be happy, because I'm not sure that I'm all that sane, and being approved by me may be a bad thing. Sorry Morg.

In any case, of all humans on earth, I see myself as the worst. This may be just because I have no drive or motivation, no self-esteem, no pride, and no sense of self-preservation above the natural bit everyone is born with. Most people would call it Emo nowadays. I'm going to rant about that right about now.

Emo is the stupidest word I have ever heard in all my life. It's like a stylish version of being depressed and it needs to die... Like right now. It's moronic. Just look at it. It's making depressed people have a label and a group to belong to. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? This new fad needs to die very soon.

Back to my main topic, now. For proof to my reasons for dislike, check the news. Notice how much of the United States news is propaganda. Notice how nothing bad is mentioned more than needed to make money off of it. Anything minorly good is exploited and overblown to appear fantastic. For further proof, look at the masses. We just absorb that crap and live on in our daily world. Worst of all is me, for realizing and pointing all this out. I'm not going to do a thing about it. That's worse than being ignorant.

My friend Morgan lent me a book a while ago. It's called Friday and it's very good. It's a science-fiction story, and I'm not going to go into the plot or anything, I just want to use a quote from it. It says "...Sick cultures show a complex of symptoms such as you have named... But a dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than a riot." Remind you of anything? It goes on to say "...The symptom is especially serious in that an individual display it never thinks of it as a sign of ill health but as proof of his/her strength." This frightens me a lot. Not what it says, I guessed as much myself, but that it was said. The book was written in 1982, and here we are today. Our culture has just gotten closer to death. I don't believe anything anyone does will help to remedy this problem. All I can do is continue to use the manners my mother taught me (thanks mom! I love you.) , and try to pass them on to others.

And once again, I will prove that I am worse. What's one of the worst manners, do you think? I'd say swearing. It does help to convey anger, and they're just words. It's still rude and should be stopped. I know it. I know I shouldn't. But I swear a lot. I can say it's okay because I'm usually alone when I say anything bad, but that's like saying it's okay to turn without a turn-signal since nobody's around. It doesn't matter who's there, it's good practice. If you never use your signal when you're alone, you use it less often when you're in traffic. Habits form. It's the same with swearing, and I know it. But thus far I have not changed.

Next, I'd like to focus shortly on the topic of love. Love, in it's simplest form, is just a simple compulsion to be with someone. Most often it's shared between parents and children of most animals. Humans will show it as well, but that kind of love seems to be impossible in any other form. Love between a man and a woman (and I should include man and man, and woman and woman as well, since I count that as love as well.) seems to always have to be of a sexual nature. It's imposed and impressed upon us from everywhere. Love without a sexual drive is shunned by the media, culture, and basically everything. Once again, I took the easy way out and decided not to love anyone, and as a result, I'm afraid I've hurt a few people. I can't help feel a natural want to love, be loved, et al., but thus far I've managed to keep myself pretty isolated. I no longer think this is the right decision, but I'm not going to change without a reason, and I'm not looking for a reason to change.

What's next... How about technology? Now, technology was supposed to make things more efficient, better, faster, stronger, etcetera. All technology has succeeded in doing is lowering the average IQ, making people lazy, and giving people like me money to do things that seem easy to me. I'll probably end up making my living off fixing bad technology, and hating myself for it. I still enjoy fixing a really messy computer, though. Sometimes I don't believe how bad I am.

Next on my list is going to have to be something a little nicer. Maybe something positive. How about music? Music is one of the most beautiful things on earth. If you don't believe me, get a copy of Wish You Were Here, by Pink Floyd, or A Midnight Summer Dream, by The Stranglers. If you can't get either of those, here's Tears For A Girl. It's a remix of an old Super Nintendo game, Chrono Trigger. Music is beautiful indeed. But, once again, the human race has destroyed another beauty. Most of today's music is just crap put out there to make money. I cry about it sometimes. I'm going to admit that because it's the only way I can say anything bad about myself when dealing with music. And it's actually not a bad thing to cry in my mind, but most people view it as weak and such, so I'll say it to the masses. I cry because music is cheap, manufactured, and mass produced.

I think I've said enough about this topic for now. I'm gonna do something useless and meaningless and hate myself for it, just like I always do. Even in writing this, I'm still a worthless shit. Please don't leave stupid reviews pitying me or yelling at me. I don't need either.
