What is it with people? Why don't they get
"it"?
It seems to me that you cannot give someone the
general idea of some thing and let them go with it anymore. Have you noticed how horrible
TV is? I cannot even watch it lest I get sick and vomit on the
coffee table. Is this the world we live in?
I am by no means a
genius.
Annoyingly, I fall in that awkward category of
half-stupid people.
When I pick up an instruction manual, if its "
For dummies" it is
mundane, but if it is for advanced students I am
frequently lost.
We live in a society in which it is ok to be a
complete moron. We accept stupidity rather than trying to educate and/or
gas the terminally moronic. I want more stimuli! I crave the day when I can't understand a fucking thing anyone says.
I lack self motivation.
And yet no one gets "it". Even some
self-proclaimed intellectuals don't get "it" half of the time. By "it" I mean the truths of life. The obvious. That which smacks you in the face and demands acceptance. The "
big picture".
We shun the truth of things. We truly need an
instruction manual for the
conceptually retarded. I cannot write it though I wish I could. I can live with the fact that a lot of people are smarter than I am. I can live also with the fact that a lot of people are not as smart as I am. But I am
decidedly against people kidding themselves into believing that they are living to their fullest potential when they are not. I am also tired of everyone
complacency in this fucked up world. Rather than change things people build up their shell, turn up the
white noise and
ignore the scenery. It
scares me.
Maybe one of you can write the book. There are enough
intellectuals here to do it. Something for everyone to read as they are growing. A
manifesto, a
bible, an
instruction manual, An
encyclopedia outlining everything that people ignore, abuse and take for granted.
It is not hard, and that is the sad thing. Life tells us what is
right and wrong.
Life tells us what to do. We
just never listen. We know
what to do and it will never get done.
