You know I’ve been thinking a lot about our society and how it works.  Let’s take people for an example; we pretend every day of our lives.  We really never act “real,”  There are definitely times when we’re in a bad mood, and what do we do when we see someone that is your friend, or even a stranger?  We pretend that everything is fine.  It’s so funny to me how that works.  Deep down there may be so much going on in our mind, but we don’t let others see that.  This really applies to more than just good and bad moods.  Think about how people act to their friends, opposed to how they act to strangers.  My job requires me to interact with people all day long, assisting them with computer issues.  There are some people that I will assist greatly, but they do not thank me or anything.  I have no problem with these; don’t mistake what I’m trying to say here.  It’s not an issue that they don’t thank me, but it’s an interesting thing to analyze, how they interact with me opposed to their friends they may come into the lab with. 

 

Sadly over the years, our world has become, to put it bluntly, assholes.  People are generally rude for some reason.  I don’t know why.  I don’t know why people are this way.  Maybe it’s just because there is more stress in the world now than there used to be, who knows?  That’s why I select my friends very carefully.  I don’t think we should waste our time with dumb people.  Another issue I’ve been dealing with lately is the fact that no one is willing to better themselves.  How can people, be so stupid, and act the way they do?  How can people not have enough sense to not know how to act in our society?  My parents taught me very well, but even if they wouldn’t have, I truly believe my instincts would tell me a lot of it.  Maybe over the years people have grown dumber, and that’s part of our problem?  Why has racism become more of an issue now than ever?  You know I saw an add the other day for “Black Singles” Which you had to be a black person to sign up.  Ok, let’s say someone did that and put, “White Singles Only,” Would that not cause uproar?  By all means I’m not racist.  I think it comes down to the morals and instincts a person has more than the color of their skin.  But, in my opinion, “Black Singles,” is reverse-racism.
