I don’t understand the people who legitimately see themselves as more important than other people. The people who are so wrapped up in themselves and their own lives that other people don’t matter. I’m so tired of encountering people who think they are gods gift to the world and that the sun is shining out of their ass, it’s honestly so tiring having to be civil to these people who are so clearly far too ignorant for their own good. And yes, I believe that ignorance and selfishness go hand-in-hand, because to be selfish you have to be blatantly ignorant to the world around you. You have to be ignorant to think that just because you have more possessions than another person that you are therefore worth more than they are as a person. Every single human being on this planet starts out the exact same way, just in different places. Every single human being on this planet will end up in the exact same way, just in different places.
All of our parents told us we were special, that we could do anything we wanted, be anything we wanted. As children we loosely accept everyone, because we see every other child as someone who could be anything they wanted to be in the future. We’re told, “Don’t bully, because that person could be your boss someday.” Although, obviously, bullying is a major problem in youth, because children bully those they see as lesser to themselves, to make themselves seem superior. It’s really the beginning of treating others like they’re somehow lesser than you, although as children, we do this primarily on the person themselves (they have a weird personality trait or are physically different in some way). So, why is it, when we’re older, we think that we can just look at someone and assume we’re in some way superior to them? We treat people who seem like they have less than us with disrespect and it’s so sickening to me.
I look at people and I wonder what has happened in their life to lead them to that point. I know what has happened to me in my life, and I know most of it you would never know just from looking at me. I also know everything that has happened to me has led me to this exact spot, where ever it may be. I am not who I am now without my past, and the same goes to every single other person out there. I can’t judge people I don’t know, just like they can’t (or I suppose I should just say shouldn’t judge, since everyone I know judges everyone anyway) because I don’t know them or what they’ve been through. How do I know they haven’t been through something that I wouldn’t be able to go through? I don’t.
So before you go out into the world and try and act like you’re an “awesomely cool badass” by making other people feel like shit about themselves or by disrespecting people, however this may transpire, think. People always say, “Treat others how you want to be treated” but no one ever follows this rule. You are not more important than a homeless person, you are not more important than a 75 year old widow, you are not more important than a 30 year old man working at a fast food restaurant. It doesn’t matter how much money you have, who you know or what you do, we’re all just people trying to get by. Trying to live comfortably in this fucked up, materialistic society we’ve created for ourselves.
I’m not perfect, but I’m putting in an effort. I just wish I didn’t feel like I was literally the only one.
I know this is long, doesn’t make much sense and like no one will read this but I’m just so fucking annoyed. I hate going outside if I’m not high, society does nothing but frustrate me.
