I am always thought of as a nice person.
Really though, I secretly enjoy watching people get what's coming to them. I think that people who live in isolation deserve terrible lives, and those of us that don't should have temporary set backs.
So we may remember what a good life consists of: being open and accepting towards all people despite race,religion,orientation,etc.
Those isolated people deserve nothing more than a bland life filled with frustration.
Another honesty: I wrote this with a determined few people in mind.
If you're waiting to break out, here's your sign. Cut ties, and live free.

sometimes people live in isolation because they're scared...or shy. they don't know how to break out. do they deserve terrible, bland, frustrating lives?
ReplyDeleteor are you talking about people who isolate themselves through biases and prejudices?
i don't understand
I was speaking of biases and prejudices.
ReplyDeleteBeing scared or shy is no excuse for not breaking out--it's "learned helplessness", which is something that shouldn't be excused.
Just because it makes life easier, doesn't mean it's right.
shyness does not make life easier. it makes life increasingly difficult. shyness is not equivalent to helplessness, it is akin to fear. shy people have friends, jobs, live their lives, et cetera, albeit without obvious gregariousness. shy people find a way to do what needs to be done, however it's somewhat terrifying. live your life with your heart racing for speaking in a room of people, for talking to a stranger, for accomplishing all the little things people take for granted, and you tell me how 'easy' life is for the reticent.
ReplyDeleteNot standing for something you believe in is wrong, living life quiet and mouse-like is no way to live.
ReplyDeleteIf your disposition is quiet, thats an entirely different thing. But if you're seeing unjusts and saying nothing of them--I want nothing to do with you.
It's much easier to blend into the background then to stand up for something or against.
My heart still races when speaking in a room full of people, talking to a stranger, etc. It's much more difficult to face your fears then to hide from them.
i think now i finally understood what you meant by your original post. yes. even shy people will stand their ground when they see an injustice committed. even those of a quiet disposition will speak up when it is time to justify their beliefs. sitting idly by and letting something you find morally abhorrent continue is no way to be. thanks for the discussion and for the clarification of your original point.
