Hatred toward everything

Post Reply New Topic

I never felt like I belonged on this stupid planet with its sheep that get up, go to work, eat, sleep, spread their seed and populate the planet with more idiotic sheep. I hate how I have to be like them. I hear the idiotic stuff they do every day in the news. From people thinking that Best Buy is going to honor the 10 dollar TV thing that was completely a mistake. How they TEXT while they're driving. How some people end up killing themselves over nothing. Or murdering each other over nothing, like a video game system. How we're being led by government, lied to, misled, having to CONFORM to everything. Having to be our parents' perfect little child when we're clearly NOT.

I MAY be biologically human, but inside I feel alien. Always will. And my hatred toward this planet keeps growing and growing and growing, and it will NEVER stop!

I guess I feel similar some of the time. I can't work out if there is justification for this view or if I am being incredibly arrogant and ignorant though.

I completely grok your cynicism, but all that negative energy is only hurting you, not the sheep. Chill with some herb and a couple of Bill Hicks Cds (I recommend Arizona Bay and Rant in E Minor, but don't neglect Relentless and Dangerous). You'll laugh your @ss off to a great comic who shared your views on society and government and wasn't afraid to tell the truth. Try it, I guarantee it'll brighten your day.

There are a lot of stupid people in the world, often doing supremely stupid things that end up on the news. And these stupid acting people aren't usually shy about the stupid things they do; endangering their kids, going on crime sprees, being extremely thoughtless, self-centered, rude, and careless, etc.
In fact, many of these people are actually proud about their loud, boorish ways.

Whenever you see someone acting like this (whether on TV or in the supermarket checkout line) it's all too easy to think that most people are that way or agree with the greasy wheeled stupid people who get most of the attention and demand so many unearned resources from our society.

Stupid sells papers. Stupid gets Nielsen ratings. Reporting on the things that stupid people and the merely decorative do (rather than what the best and brightest do) makes money and unfortunately that fact won't change anytime soon (as long as someone out there thinks there's money to be made).

It's important to remember that for every stupid, trite, boorish person you see acting like a bully in the supermarket (cutting in line, demanding special attention, etc.) there are dozens of people inwardly cringing and feeling silently bullied and uncomfortable by their behavior. In many cases, their silence is out of a feeling of awkwardness and even fear...and is not meant to convey consent or agreement with those stupid people (to paraphrase Thomas More).

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it may be hard to believe, but those stupid people are outnumbered. And while it's not fair that they get so much attention and unearned resources, stupid people like that lead lives that most of us wouldn't want for a minute, despite all their bluster and seeming cultural dominance.

In many cases, the pointlessness of their empty, superficial lives is its own just reward.

I think you've been given a gift. I think most people are sheep because it's in their nature. I guess they're happy.

But, you can see through the stupidity and while that might give more things to be pissed off about, it also allows you to see what's real. Skip the TV news, play their game only when you have to. Why can't you do what you want to do? Screw the system.

I admire people like you, who are Against The Grain, and don't follow the sheep.

I agree with Willard, Bill Hicks was exactly the same. Listen to his Stand-Up, and be amazed, as well as laugh your arse off.

Bill Hicks? I think I might have heard an interview with him on NPR. I'll have to check him out then. Thanks. Sometimes, however, when I need to brighten my day, I watch comedies. Rat Race is particular favorite movie of mine, but then it again it also shows why I hate the human race at times. People will stoop to anything. But it does make for good laughs.

I actually never thought of my sort of insight as a gift. Thanks.

Edit: What Linnaeus said

The problem is with the system, not the people.

Maybe the solution will be to create yourself a "haven" where you temporaly detach yourself from the world.
Hate is certainly unhealthy.

There is also this song talking about the cruelty of the world.
