(no subject)
I think it's funny, sad... and modern reality... how people put so much more energy into being negative than positive. And I don't just mean mad or angry or bastard like people. I mean, as well, the "good" people. The folks who put "so much" energy into doing that which they consider good.... but then, find something they think is negative. See how much energy they put into being negative about it. Far too often, it vastly surpasses the energy they put into things they like/love.
I have no qualms saying I don't think people will ever get it right. That the inherent (yes, INHERENT) selfishness of humanity is something that are a point too far along to ever transcend. Maybe once there was a chance, maybe not. Maybe they've/we've (am I human?) have always been doomed. I suppose it would be a happier day for me if I wasn't human, but I'm quite sure I am, unless humanity is simply a state of mind.
In which case, humanity would certainly be doomed... and yet somehow humans might still have a chance?
No, ... I mean, I don't know, but I don't think so. You can't try to change individuals, for there are too many of them, and none wish to be changed by a peer.... somehow you have to change the mentality they use, so that they can still come to their own conclusions... yet by changing the mentality you can change the processes they use to reach them.
Yep, this posht is random and all over the place. But I think I'll be coming back to it.
Completely unrelated: Lie. Slightly unrelated, vaguely connecatable... :
I was asked to sit at the table of some folks I didn't know today.... and I thougth about it quite seriously, but ulitmately declined, as I was both in a negative mood due the day's happenings... but more so because I realized I am just entirely tired of the getting to know you game that most humans feel they need to play. People and the situations they get in are simply constantly repeated over and over, and I haven't seen one I didn't know intimately in years. This, despite drastically altering who I see talk to know am around et al over said time period.
And yet I conversed with those I've known for a long duration of time but not really "known"... and had a decent time. I think my way of "getting to know folks" is simply less verbal than most, and that I don't care for the idle chit chat that occurs when most get to know each other nowadays.
Words. the bane of mankind; interesting, but ultimately... worthless? Not quite... some similar word/concept... more trouble than they're worth, perhaps.
the end. abruptly.
