So, the older I get the more things become apparent, which I assume is kind of what happens to everyone. It just seems weird though, that the things around us are as fucked up as they are and yet, everybody lets it occur. We assassinate the people, who try hardest to make our planet a better place. It seems strange that they're the ones being murdered. These people who want everyone to love each other so much.
As, I get older it becomes more and more apparent how simple minded a lot of people are. So easily intimidated, by the use of simple words. Words are an amazing thing, the use of certain words versus others and you can get a completely different reaction out of them. It just seems like so many individuals I meet don't care to think for themselves. Even so many of the "artsy" hipsters I meet. That's fucking fantastic you're an individual, but you're the same fucking individual as all the other "individuals" and you're art isn't fucking good, it's photoshoped to look like someone elses art, or it's based off of something else you've seen. Good job. This isn't true for everyone but the only originality anyone really has is themselves.
I thrive in being me, everyday. Although I know there's someone else out there saying the same shit about me, and I'm sure it's true. Although, how I look at it, is all those simple-minded people are amazing in some way I can't even comprehend. Those, what I'm calling, simple-minded people, may live the happiest most content lives, while I'll always want more and want the world to be a better place and who know's if that'll ever happen. Ignorance may be bliss, but I'd rather be miserable than oblivious.
It's strange getting older. Kind of freaks me out.
