A (perhaps not so) Deep thought.

One thing about people today is they frequently try and find a scapegoat onto which to push societies problems. Media attacks different parts of itself in order to feel more valid. Games come under attack frequently nowadays, ten years ago it was movies, ten years before that music. But the root of the problem isn't in the media, it's in how we view the world and what world views we project onto the inheriting generations. We started many generations with war, but the first generation that was born to bitterness in war was the generation dubbed Generation "X" Parents and other Adults were talking about the audacity of the crimes committed in Vietnam. We projected a self loathing onto them, of course they rebelled, and began to hate government. From there we have only escalated. Pride is being replaced with frustration, general love with animosity.

War isn't to blame, though. It's how people handle that war. In the mid 40's as a kid you heard of heroes fighting for freedom, fighting for the oppressed. We were allies in a fight against a true evil. Then we went to war with people who wanted the same thing. We made ourselves the villains, many media outlets painted us as the aggressor, they made us into the monster. This is where the outcries came from, to put a stop to the heartless beast consuming us. But we clearly still had heart, or there wouldn't have been such an outcry. As time went on though, we acclimated ourselves to being the bad guys, and instead of rallying in pride of being better a now jaded and frustrated generation sought no justice from their leaders.

They watched silently as we justified attacks on innocent countries because of what a minority had done to them. They saw what was happening and accepted it as a part of their society. Our acclimation to this decent came from somewhere, and I can tell you that isn't not the Movies, or Games, or Music that did it. Those are a symptom of the new way of thinking. We don't become desensitized to violence from video games, desensitization happens when we accept what is happening around us as part of the world. "People die," is a tragically common thing I hear nowadays. We have lost our will to fight for peace and now fight for decency.

Things I hate, (Currently.)

Okay well this is just a way for me to put this in writing before I go crazy and possibly drop the bass on some unsuspecting passerby. I figure I'd just vent here, and be done with it.

I hate feeling like I need to explain myself when I want to get drunk with a friend because I've had a shitty week.

I hate feeling like I'm obligated to do some kind of monkey dance for someone who refuses to respect me for who I am.

I hate this idea that I'm not who I want to be, and not even knowing where to start, I hate trying to think of ways to find the actual beginning of my path and being stopped in some way.

I hate looking at people who are pretending to be happy, and knowing something is wrong, but not being able to help them out of fear that they might get the wrong impression.

I hate the idea of not being equal to the rest of the world because I'm just a different kind of person.

I hate the fact that whenever something good happens in the world someone has to try and overshadow it with a giant downpour of piss.

I hate that the world has made me so cynical that whenever I read something sweet or endearing on the internet I almost always think 'too bad it's fake'.

I hate it when people laugh at me and then refuse to tell me why. If you're laughing at my face just tell me what you find so funny, I might just laugh with you.

I hate that people try to tiptoe around me because they think I might take offense to something, it's ironic because I find that far more offensive.

I hate that there are people in the world who would brandish a gun or a knife, before offering to shake hands.

I hate when people get mad because someone is just doing their job.

I hate that people never take responsibility for their mistakes.

I hate that people take responsibility for something they never did.

I hate when people act out when they've been called out on the shit they've done.

I hate mondays.

Not quite a monk. But she sure is chipper.

It's not a satire. It's Satyrical!
