I wander off for a bit and blogger.com goes and changes, i mean, *ahem* grows up. Yea, that's it. Well, i have to admit. I sort of feel a little lost, but i shall figure it out. I always do.
By the gods, i can hardly believe it's been five months since i wrote here. Wow. Weird and a tad bit strange. Must be the meds, but i am neither pleased nor displeased about the change. It is what it is.
Do i know you? Not likely. Most people never take the time to show their real selves to one another. Everyone is always hiding and dodging. *sigh* It's all very boring you know. Wouldn't life be so much more exciting if people would just be themselves? I think so. ~_^
Lately, i've been on a bit of a tirade. It's quite simple really. I don't have much love for people. My own mother called me a cynic. Well, she would, but that's not the point. She's right. Kind of a once-in-a-blue-moon type of thing for her. To be right that is. I have become a cynic. I despise people; basically all humanity in general. *shrugs* People suck. They are selfish, cruel, self-absorbed, ignorant, rude, and all-around completely idiotic.
Recently, i've been carting somewhat of a soapbox around. Do you know what i mean when i say "everyone's a winner attitude"? Didn't think so. Let me remunerate for you. This attitude is what i see in so many people today. It's a sort of persuasion and conviction they don't have to work all that hard for anything or when they make a mistake there aren't any real consequences to deal with. I believe it come from the need to reward losers. Yes, you heard me right.
Losers are the team that didn't win, the first one to lose all their cards in go-fish, the people who didn't come in first, second, or third place in anything, the one who fell through the monkey bars instead of walking across them, the one who is last to base and becomes it, and, well, i think you see my point. My issue are the parents who let their children win at things instead of making them learn how to play or figure out strategies to win. It's with the coaches and organizations that insist on giving everyone in the league a "participation trophy". It's the schools who let second-graders use calculators instead of working the problem out on paper. It's with the spectators who cheer on the kid in last place without knowing the kid was lazy, didn't practice, and it's his own fault he's tangled in the hurdles. Am i getting my point across? Good.
Nobody deserves a job simply because they want/need one. No one needs to win the lottery. Not a single person is supposed be paid better. Since when do you not have to work to achieve something? *sigh* It's been pushing my buttons lately. I hear people complaining all the time about how things aren't "fair" and how everything is so "hard". All i can think is "Seriously?!" and walk away. Although, admittedly, i am keeping my mouth shut less and less.
Political correctness be damned. Who do these people think they are? Worse is, they actually are our future. How is it then my kids don't act like that? No clue. Maybe i dropped them hard enough the first time. *shrugs* ~_^ We will have to see what the future brings i suppose.
