oh god, i typed up a long response and it erased. i hate that.
anyway, i often ponder this and i have come to the conclusion that it is in human nature for us to hurt one another. all you can really do is try to control what you do- the shitty end of the deal is that people will always be horrible to you. people can't accept others, and i think that is the basis of all hate in the world- that people cannot accept one another for what they are. this is why i strive to be able to do that fully. another reason is that you're an individual. and that makes people nervous. and it's going to keep making people nervous for the rest of your life [yes, i stole that from a movie, but it really does fit for this]. all you can do is stay true to yourself and accept the consequences.
i don think there is anything wrong with people not being accepted, thats not the biggest problem. if everyone was accepted thatd be worse.. cause then where would our convictions stand? wed be whatever perfect may be.. perfect society would not only be boring but.. wreckless and wed all be numb. you cant have love without hate.
this also makes me think about how love and hate can be differentiated by perception tho. one who may see a hateful gesture as lovely.. a rarity at that, but it happens hehe. there are some fucked up neat people :)
Thats the way people are... Look at our economy, were driven by self gain and materialistic views. Its hard to find a way to be nice or to help someone with out really trying. Kindness is a rarity and ill manners and rude behavior is becoming more and more accepted everyday. This is what drives the human ego. I honestly have more respect for the apes.
haha you kinda nailed it... you should check out my latest post on how americans are lacking passion.. its true me thinks.. most americans have this front of coolness they need to associate themselves with so they are accepted by everyone. Everyone wants to be a badass instead of themselves.. people do it for so long that during their wonder years they dont learn who they are, and when they realize how dumb it is to have this front, they get angry.. not sure which age it occurs, but when it does people get bitter. Or some people never find out.. well thats a vague description.. sounds alot better in my head haha. well people are angry is all. in countries like europe and whatnot.. i dont think they have this anger problem because they dont have this front, alot of people over there seem to focus on passion, emotion. Certain things that a human being should be about... i see them as important. well anyways rarely do i find an american who can answer the question "what is your passion?" without answering "i dont know". Less educated and

I understand what your saying, myself being communist in belief and socialist in politics. I'm communist in belief only because people are willing enough to sacrafice for others, and the needs of the people to further themselves as an equal to amke it work. But in socialism, we all seem to be provided for, and its not as easliy destroyed by mans inherant greed and lust. As for your statement about "Where do your passions lie" That has allways been something I ahve held with me. I always tell people my greatest strength (Because you'll notice in America they love to ask about strength, again going to the whole front) what your greatest strength is and I always say its my passion and my will. No one has an understanding of that anymore, they always ask, "A passion for what" and fail to remember that passion is like happiness or malice and is an unconcievable idea. Not that I feel passionatly for something, but that I have passion and will to put my passion forward for the people and things I care about. **Thank you for talking with me, I
