There are so many people who only show affection with slander. "I wouldn't pick on you if I didn't like you."
Where does that come from. So many of my friends are just plain rude to one another. To call your friend an asshole is an endearing term. When did this happen? It seems like you can't tell off the people you don't know. Someone is treating their daughter like shit in a resturant and you keep silent. We all do it. We ignore these situations that should make us react negatively and we hold it in for our friends.
It is cathardic, that is true, to release these emotions with someone who won't take too much offense. Well I am begining to draw a line. There are some people who I no longer spend any time with simply because all they do is put eachother down. They all laugh and react with counter-slander. I refuse to play this game.
Why should I mask my love with hate?
There are few of my friends whom I can be physically affectionate with. It is uncomfortable for a lot of people. We are still primates, we still long for this closeness but we deny it.
It is un-manly to hug another man. FUCK THAT!
So much anger, pent-up rage, and anxiety we carry within ourselves. It is unhealthy. We are paying a greater psychic price for our fear of confrontatioin. There are a few people who do not follow these newly adopted social customs but they are few and far between. Perhaps I am just subconsiously drawn to these personality types I am speaking of so I do not see another page of humanity. I don't believe that is entirely true.
I am not blind to human emotion and behavior patterns. I see it with a clarity that most cannot. People wish to hate. It is deemed socially inexceptable to be an asshole. Why if that is how you feel? We judge people sooo much. We are too harsh of a judge upon ourselves as well.
Look at these "happy Bunny" stickers. You have seen these everywhere. The cute little bunny that tells you you are ugly or stink. I used to despise these stickers until I realized that it is an excellent representation of our culture. We smile as we hate our existance behind closed doors. In the saftey of our thoughts we wish to lash out at that witch we see as wrong. But our social habits tell us not to. Are these merely growing pains? We comprehend that these thoughts and ideas are not the best course of action but we haven't totally removed them from our collective subconsious?
Am I the only one who wants to discard this negativity we have grown so accustomed to? I think not, but I seem to be the only person I know who does not subscribe to the doctrine of being nicer to strangers than to your friends.
