i've come to the realization...
...that there are people out there who are beyond help. let them fuck up on their own, cause the bullshit they want stir and let them fall on their ass the way karma sets them up for.
you can pound realistic and logistic wisdom/facts/statistics all you want, but it does nothing for them if they're being the stubborn arse.
and if they do end up going to you for advice, ask them: "do you want the blatant truth that will get you to a healthier state of mind? or do you want the sugar-coated version to make your dumbass actions SEEM appropriate?"
as the bystander and observer: one way to cope is to flip your initial reaction around. rather than be disgusted and accuse them for being a disgrace to society, take one step back...focus on yourself, and be thankful that you are not them. either that or be thankful you are *in denial* that in actually you ARE one of them, but you at least have the etiquette and decency to maintain strong composure. fuck yes.
