Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac? - George Carlin, comedian.
do me a favor, and sniff.
feel the wretched stench of cigarettes and vodka sting your nostrils. and a sticky film of sweat and spilled drinks coats your skin. your ears are ringing. blame the onslaught of synthetic noises drilling their way into your ear canal.
strobe lights. shitty plastic tables. concrete floors. and cheap neon signs.
the mark of any great “underground” party.
half of the room - and please excuse my racist observation i guess - is a gaggle of young African-Americans raised on rap in shitty venues like this. they’re moshign and going crazy, pushing people, screaming their lungs out, and waving their hands like they just don’t care.
all the whites, mexicans, and other races(including me!) awkwardly sway on the other half of the room, cramped like sardines.
it was a scene straight out of an 80s educational documentary about segregation or some shit.
the music sucked, so i went back in the bar.
everyone in the bar was boring, unapproachable, or didn’t like some stupidly confident 21 year old barging in their conversation(aka me).
so i went back to the dance floor. which also sucked.
fuck.
so here i was, drunk off my rocker with cheap tequila coursing through my veins, yet stuck between shitty music or an even shittier bar.
everyone was either boring or borderline psychopathic.
all around me, the world was broken.
but i was normal. i AM normal. RIGHT?
why isn’t the whole world just like me? the perfect goldilocks balance in between!
yeah.
now that i write that out, and you’re reading it, you see how stupid i sound.
yet how many of us think liek this! we think we’re the sane ones in a world of crazy people. i’m not sure what it is or why it is, but there’s an odd impulse in the human mind to think it’s the only right mind in a world full of billions of minds.
investing?
everyone who day trades is an idiot gambler.
everyone who only invests in the S&P 500 is a pussy.
TV?
people who watch Bridgerton are pansies.
anime enthusiasts have no taste.
and Game of Thrones people just wanna watch fantasy fucking and dragons!
when the whole world is crazy you think you’re the only sane one.
and idk if you’ve seen shutter island, but go and connect the dots plz. anyways, let’s get back to the point.
we often think we’re the only moral, intelligent, perfect beings in this infinitely flawed world.
and that is DEEPLY INCORRECT.
we are just as stupid, ignorant, close-minded, and simple as others.
so don’t be so quick to judge the world, call others names, reinforces labels, and be an asshole.
just be a bit more open-minded. listen to others. doubt your own position. and seek to learn from a chaotic, crazy world.
