sighs

There are days when you feel like everything is going your way. Times when you think the world was created just for you. You are carefree, happy and thoughtful. These are the things that make life great.

Then there are the times in your life when you realize that this isn't true. I mean, you are still carefree, happy and thoughtful... but you are doing this in a world that is less than perfect. A world that has huge flaws. The concept you once cherished and defended seems like a cesspool of negativity and political incorrectness. All the cognitive dissonance hits you while experiencing this discovery.

The world and its people are not just objects of amusement for you. They are the others who may think and act differently.

Every person has different experiences and attributes in the places and for ideals they encounter. But what some people know that others don't is that we all have to live in the same planet. We have to coexist. There is no other choice. So what do we do? Do we try and create our own little cultures within a culture? Try not to interact with persons who are inheritly different?

Well, it doesn't work like that. There are reasons why we don't like to mix and reasons why we shouldn't mix. But there is only one reason why we are mixing. That is because we live in the same fucking place.

So the only thing we can do while mixing is to be civil.

But obviously that is TOO much to ask these days.

If we have to coexist indifferently, then why not be separate? You stay in your delusion, and I'll stay in mine. Don't try and pull an outsider in just to reinforce your way to living versus theirs. It is a two-sided street, and the side that is more respectful always suffers.

It is not only enough to be different and separate for some people... those people want to be greedy and turn the world into what they want it to be. They infect everyone with their ways and make us believe that our dreamland ever existed, nor could even be possible. In their world, they are numerous and invincible. We no longer have autonomy. We are just cattle to them.

We become the very thing that we thought they were.

So who's delusional? Me or you?
