(word to the wise, the following was typed while i was in a really bad mood, really tired, and fairly medicated)
People suck.
As a race ive realized how parasitic and mean we are becoming, and the worst part of it is i cant think of any way to fix it. We're doomed. We're going to kill this planet, kill eachother, and try to stifle everything good that still does exist so itll conform to our deteriorating society. I read how global warming is helping to create the more severe weather across the world, disasters are up a huge percentage world-wide, and nobody cares. We all ACT like we care, sure, we'll donate money now and then, try to be enviornmet safe, whatever, but i know im gonna keep driving my car, knowing damn well that im part of the problem. But i take solace in the fact that we're going to blow ourselves up long before that.
After reading all this mideast/korea/africa shit, i dont think its probable that were all going to die, im sure of it. We're stuck. As a society we've become so 'morally enlightened' that we seem to think that we have to lead by example, while the bad guys kill innocent people. Argue the ethics of it anyway you want, bottom line is that there are BAD PEOPLE out there that need to be taken out of the picture, not people who have 'different views' or cultures or shit like that, but people like a warlord in the Congo who believes that he is the second prophet of God, and has thousands and thousands of followers. THis rebel group is fighting to set up a government in africa with this guy as the head. This is the same group that has kidnapped 3 school busses now, killed the boys and kidnapped the girls as sex slaves. This fuck does not have a religion that i should be tolerant of. This guy should be killed. Who am i to say so? Doesnt fucking matter, he needs to die. Try telling someone that his rights are important. Tell it to one of the mothers of a kidnapped child that his interests should be taken into account. He makes his life on the suffering of others, and there are a thousand more like him. But you know what? It wont be a 'good' or righteous person that solves problems like this guy. Because nations like ours are too ethical to. Its not our place, who are we to say so, how do we know what his intentions were, blah blah blah BULLSHIT. So we're going to sit idly by while these people keep killing more people. Not other warriors, not soldiers, but women and little kids. They will starve and imprison children, and these kids will never get a shot. Which, sadly, is probably best for most of them, because in an enviornment like that theyre more likely to be twisted by the hate and become another part of the problem. But we will sit by and watch, and tut tut and say "Whatever is to be done? Somebody should do something!" But not us. Now this isnt meant to be political, it is of course, but its a moral thing. We're content to watch eachother die. When the fuck did this happen? And theres nothing we can do. Its not like we can turn to our leaders.
Look at the fucking EU. They have been in an uproar for like 2 days now because the new leader of the EU referred to the german guy there as a nazi. Okay, bad politics and a stupid thing to say, but now heres this massive multinational group, supposedly a future superpower, that has been paralyzed by name calling. And these are the people to solve the problems of hte hemisphere?
Ive realized how sick ive gotten with it all when i realized that im starting to actually LIKE Bush. That of all the people out there, hes the only one willing to at least stand the fuck up for something. Whether hes right or not, he sticks to his guns. Look at the war. Before it, everyone said 'bush is gonna go in and leave and itll go right back to how it was, just like Afghanistan'. He said no, im gonna stay. Now hes staying and getting yelled at about it. But hes standing his ground. Made no talks of backing down or peddling to his opponents. I admire that. I think he did a damn good job of dealing with the 'gay marriage' issue as well. Everyones pissed and worried that theyr egonna be allowed and repubs are calling for a Constitutional Ban on gay marriages. Ridiculous. There are millions dying all over the place and 50% of our population is concerned that their kids teacher might be married to someone of the same sex. Anyway, Bush said that he does not support gay marriages, but thinks a ban is unnecessary. With one statement he stuck by his beliefs, and though i dont agree wtiht hat he didnt shove it in my face, and at the same time didnt get all super republican. He handled it well. Now hes under fire for saying 'bring it on' to iraqi resistance groups. What the fuck? Someone in power finally shows a bit of character, a bit of pride, and hes getting flamed for it by these ridiculously dumb democrats that seem to think they stand a snowballs chance int he next election. These are guys that are blasting on allt he little issues to make everyone doubt the sincerity and truthfulness of what everyones saying. We're in a nation where everything tells us 'everyones just out for themselves, dont believe anything'...then complain that people have no trust or interest. Gah. Its late and im tired and not able to formulate what im trying to say.
I know this is quite the rant. You know what really tipped it all off? The cover of Vanity Fair with all these teenage girls, mary kate and ashley, mandy moore, and a few others, and i was just thinking how ridiculous it is
how rich these people are at that age. They have SO MUCH money that its ridiculous. And so do a lot of celebrities. And they have this much money because people are willing to pay them. I dont hold any of these people in contempt (whether i like them or not), but just the sheer amounts of people that IDOLIZE them. I watched some stupid show with my parents the other day about the 'secrets of celebs lives' and realized how unforgiving fans and paparazzi are. Its incredible. And after it all i realized how fucked up priorities are all around. Its terrible.
At the same time, im not ready to give up on people yet. Im close, but then i think about the good things. There still are some good things. Sure there are those out there that if they found out that you HAD a good thing, or that at one point you had a good thing, theyd sue for not sharing the good thing and the government for not giving them a good thing which would obviously mean you had an unfair advanatage because youre _____. Grrrrr. But i digress (again). Ive found the good things in a few people, mainly the people that know me well enough to know i have a blog. And then to READ it. Ive come to the conclusion that is is SO MUCH shit out there that by oneself its too much. And even with friends, theres so much possibility that things can get fucked up. So ive realized how important it is to NOT get attached to the stupid shit and arguments. Theres not enough time for it. Watch the way people act around you, coworkers and such. Theyre friends, sure. But what do they talk about? How real does their friendship seem? Now realize that thats all there really is most of hte time for most people. I cant stand the idea of not being close with my friends, as well as the fact that as im growing up it gets harder and harder to make new GOOD friends. That lesson got pounded home this last year. I dont want to be one of those people that only tells old college stories. We gotta keep making new ones. Sorry everyone had to read this, but i really had to get a lot off my chest. Its not easy to do all the time, this summers just been getting to me. So basically i think ive decided to keep going. To look the world of shit and fucked up circumstances right in the face, kick in the teeth, smile, and go in head first.
