There's a type of person in this world that's so fucking selfish that they will do ANYTHING to ANYONE so long as it betters their goddamn image. I'm not just talking about people that scoff at you and talk about you behind your back. I'm talkin' about the fucks that go and HURT people to make themselves feel good. Those goddamn wastes of human potential. Yeah. That's where my fucking name comes from. All those damn idiots that don't deserve HALF of what they have in life. I'm a goddamn tribute to their end. I'm the bastard that gets to see everything they do, and REALIZE they're wrong. I'm the guy that knows, and doesn't get to act. I'm a shadow. There. That's that, too.
Okay... Look, I'll calm down... Might send a few more choice words your way, but I'll keep it light. Don't worry. You won't offend me if you leave. There's a real small chance I'll never even realize. Just, go on down, now, if you're still with me.
Like I was sayin'... Some people can't be happy without making others sad. It's ridiculous, but it's true. I'm not sayin' that all people are like that, but if you try to tell me that none are, I swear to hell that you're one of 'em. Now, I have a whole damn... Sorry. I have a whole arsenal of words just waiting to be put down as use for describing these people. Perhaps you've got a gun or a bomb of your own. But I said I was going to be calm, I guess. I'll try to be thoughtful about this pathetic splinter of humanity. Here. I do actually have a well-thought idea about the idiots. I'm not just bitter. But do NOT mistake this for me defending them. Given the chance I'd kill 'em all. I think that these idiots have never found anything in the world to like outside of themselves. Maybe they've got friends. So what. Have you ever seen how they treat one another? That's not damn friendship. That is mutual exploit. And the one that takes the most from everyone else is the best of all of 'em. The one that cares the least and takes the most and has the ability to keep taking is the highest of 'em. The WORST is the best. That one lives life the same way, but that one does it better. Better... They would kill a person without a second damn thought if they thought it would make their "friends" think more highly of them. They would tie any normal person to a damn chair and torture 'em for a fucking week straight, because it would make them feel strong. They'd shoot a bird while it was eating the bird food that they'd thrown in their own yard to feel that they were more powerful than other living things. It's because they only care about themselves. They don't CARE about their friends. They care about what their friends can do for them. If they had ever cared about anyone or anything else, then they could care about everyone and everything else. It is possible to change people like that. I believe that, too. That if you show these idiots something to care about OTHER than themselves, that they will start doing things for something other than themselves. I don't mean some pathetic display of materialism. I mean something real. Something that they could LOVE. It doesn't even need to be another person. I know that you know that you can love without loving a person. The problem is that they already love themselves, and they are very loyal to that love. They destroy others for that love of theirs.
They don't know the difference. Loving themselves is easier. No pain in that. All security without the work. You love someone else, then you get to worry and think. Don't have to do those things if you love yourself. You only have to plan and trick others. Like I said, these people can be changed. Might take a bit of work, but it can happen. I just don't give a damn. I'd rather blow a hole through their skulls and avenge all the people that they've already hurt. They hurt people like them, yes. But they always find ways to hurt the people that don't deserve to feel pain. People that I swear have wings. People that could fly above our heads and dance in the skies if they weren't weighted down by the people that will never fly. People that can be happy without all that foolishness are targets of those that can't, and goddamnit I'm tired of it. I'm tired of no matter how hard the good people try, the idiots always find some simple way to hurt them. Something easy and cheap and uncalled for and selfish. They don't deserve their goddamn lives, and I swear it that they're lucky I can't kill them all. I'd do it for myself, but I promise that I'd be doing it for all those beautiful people, too. I hate them for what they do to those people that KNOW what it feels like to cry. I can't tell you how lucky they are... But everyone dies, eventually... There's comfort... In the end, they'll die, too... Some comfort. It isn't enough...
