Here we are on a Saturday morning with the obligatory sense of annoyance and headache. Had a full night of dreams and memories reminding me of things I don't want to know. My angers and frustrations are now free to rise to the surface as there are no real demands on me for the next 8 hours or so... Didn't want to wake up, and don't want to be asleep... Welcome home...
I'm more tired now than when I went to bed...
hmm..
and as for self-proclaimed victims...
It's quite amazing how as people, we see ourselves as an idealized version of us rather than the tangible evidence that everyone else is left to examine. Never getting past what we want to believe, we thrash about clinging to the fabricated value we have placed upon our heads. When challenged to step out of our skin and see the world from another perspective, we become agitated and hold on even tighter. We are willing, at the expense of our reputation and credibility, to stand up for a flawed principle simply because it is our own, or that of a loyal friend. The need to win the argument at hand induces a sort of myopia, driving priority to winning the argument at hand over having a valid argument to begin with... Context is thrown out the door and we're left with our little duel, competing for life, energy, time, resources, whatever it may be.... We must be right, and we must at all costs WIN WIN WIN!!!
Yet another reason the human race does not deserve to continue.
