I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry.
A thousand times, I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry that I'm so awful to be around that that I don't know how to treat people.

I think I've said that before.

To my parents.

Btw, this is probably the best blog I read that shows up when I hit the "Friends" tab.

And about what they said: I feel like spewing.
People have these standards
These things that they hold true
And not only do they actually believe that the standards are true
(you could probably say "norms" here; that these norms are true)
they actually kindof build their reality around it
Their paradigm, the way that they frame the world,
is founded upon these things that they hold true

When something contradictory to these "truths" comes about
The contradictory thing/idea/whatever needs to
either disappear or be destroyed
because that thing just upsets them so much mentally
that it shakes their very reality
It shatters their paradigm
And the world around them falls apart

How do you avoid allowing your reality to be disturbed so easily?
Hold less things to be true.
Most old people are set in their ways/
Once you hit 35, your brain starts rejecting progress
Being open-minded is a hard thing to do

The problem is, how do you deal with these people?
They don't understand
Actually, they're almost incapable of it
You can't even blame them, because its basically uncontrolable
The only way to combat closed-mindedness
is to make people question the reality around them
And at a young age too.
Some people have their minds set up before they get out of highschool.
I recommend philosophy

I don't know why I typed all that.
People are uncompassionate and selfish
Unfortunately, you have to appeal to their standards
or suffer the shit that they'll push on you

Don't succumb to their ways
Otherwise you'll just end up as angry and brash as they are
If you can change it, change it
If you cannot, take it in stride
Freedom comes with time
Just don't hold yourself back by acting with spite and wrath
Sometimes you have to follow the norms
But eventually you'll be able to define your own
