A Well Deserved Rant

When you are surrounded by people that society deem worthy and good, you also feel like striving towards goodness. And, everyone should be entitled to goodness – which I define as being good at something.. having a forte, an area in which they can dominate. I think that in our possessive, competitive world, people aren’t happy enough being good at one thing, dominating in one thing, having one forte. Instead, we want it all. You want to be good at everything, praised by everyone… etc. And this is what we strive for. But, what about the other people out there who are only good at one thing? By striving for being good at more than one thing you are stealing from the people out there are only good at one thing. You are taking away from someone else’s opportunity to be admired, to show off, to get praise, to show the world what they got and what they are good at – to share their talents and goodness with other people.

Stupid society. Screws everyone over in the end. Screws over the people that want to have that one thing they are good at, that one thing that they can hold onto. Screws the superwomen [and men I guess, for a sec I forgot there were Y chromosomes left out there :P], overachievers over by telling them that even though they have everything and are good at everything* [note, the “everything” I refer to here is defined by material stuff, not by how you value yourself, but stuff you need to survive but would really rather live without– job, position, marks, wealth, all those impermanent things in the world], they still need to strive to get more. More, more, more, more. When does it stop? Does it stop? Damn it we’re human and we have limited resources of our minds and our time, where the fuck will we get more from, huh? Stop putting these inherently STUPID ideas into our heads. Get lost society. Just leave. I don’t want to talk to you for a good long time, ok?

Society and media, and stupidness makes you feel incompetent about yourself and makes you want to look for more. It makes you forget all the goodness that you do have and look at other people and want the goodness that they have. You want all the goodness. And you think that you can be happy once you get that goodness. BUT!!! BUT, its not like that. Even after you get all the goodness you sit back and thing “hmm.. what do I really have?” I don’t have feelings, I don’t have friends, I don’t have caring-ness for other people. I’m just a cyborg with lots of societal goodness, but no really goodness. I’m just a hollow papermache thinger.. put so many layers on the outside, but once you cut me open I have nothing real good on the inside. I have nothing to care about, nothing that I love, nothing that I can actually look back at and actually enjoy!!!”

So, the moral here is – don’t look at the goodness other people and want that. Look at yourself and see the goodness that you want/have. What do you care about? – do it. Soon. What are you good at [and LOVE to do.. you can be good at something and hate it to death] – do it!!!! What are your aspirations, what will make you happy? Money is important, but not as important as you and your happiness. Screw society and live life the way you want to live it, not the way you have been brainwashed to live it.
