One thing I should add about the being a bitch thing: gelatinous character. People who are mushy, easily pushed around, shaken, bipolar, moody, over-dramatic, petty, stupid, sensational. People who are uninspired, shy, uncomfortable, intentionally unfunny, droopy, and are just generally a bitch is a much better qualified definition of who I'm talking about. People who are bitches!
These are the people who are the epitome of dull, uninspired, drones who...well they're already here and they're among us so it doesn't make sense to talk about them like they're something abstract or something to be imagined. These are the people, and I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. I want to do things. I want to go places. I want to experience cultures and languages and foods and people and places and things! I want experiences! I will have experiences! I will do these things and those things, all of these things, and it'll be great!
But these other people, who are bitches, they are the people who settle down after college, have kids, take a mortgage out, this and that, take the kids to Disney World etc. These are the people with mid-life crises. Those who thought to dare but never dared to dare. Those who could have but didn't. Their lives are boring. Their lives are full of...comfortable disappointment. I don't want that. I don't want that at all.
We all want this glamorous life of fame and fortune, to do all the world has to offer and then some. I don't really need fame, don't really want it either, and I don't need excessive wealth to be happy. I just want to do cool things. And these people, if they were to all of these things, if they were to all be pursuing similar objectives, well my experience would be somewhat sullied, no? If everybody seeks to go somewhere and do something, that thing isn't as interesting is it? If the tourists run Venice, does it have the same atmosphere?
It might be a good thing then, that there are bitches among us. There are those who thought to dare but never did to leave some fun to be had by those who did, and those who will.
Apply the same principle to economics. To politics. What do you find?
With a little thought you find that the world is a not-so-interesting place. Uninteresting in the capacity as a general condition of the human race. In other words, people are generally boring, but not everybody. I know some interesting people. But those are some people. Some people are not most people. And I don't mean to waffle, but I will acknowledge that everyone has their respective quirks and little interesting bits, their historical connections, but even with all of that taken into consideration, people are facile, and people are boring as shit.
They are boring, and they're insignificant. They're insignificant economically and politically. Some would argue that everyone is important in their way and we all matter just as much as the next person. I don't think anyone is that important. No man's life is worth more than the next's, not as a general rule anyway. No person's shit doesn't stink. But people, people in general, really don't fucking matter. It's like the most important person you can think of, the President, take for example, is very unimportant, and that makes the rest of the world really fucking unimportant.
People are drones. People are worker bees in the big hive of life. We all like to think that we're all working diligently and nobly to better ourselves, but it often doesn't work that way.
The people don't govern themselves. I don't know when exactly that went out the window, but people with money and guns govern the rest of us now. We are literally sheep, being protected from the wolves. How effective and necessary that protection is is obviously called into question, with all the war going on anymore.
And with wealth? The rich get richer, the poor multiply. That's a fact. All my experience points to that, and there is research out there to support it. (link) (nother link)And these poor people, they stay poor. It's almost like a condition. That sounds so haughty and condescending for me to say, and I feel kinda bad for saying it, but I'm not going to apologize or retract my statement. I know lots of poor people. I have friends who are poor. Poor people are not...to be avoided, no, they're just poor! They don't have money! And they stay that way! That's just how life works. And rich people, they have money, which in many ways can be made to make more money. It's one of the great forces in this whole game of society.
Boring people stay boring. Poor people stay poor. Rich people stay rich. Government is not by the people for the people, it's done by the small group of people to benefit them directly and pacify the masses, for the masses because the masses would lose their head if they had to run things. That's how I see it anyway. It's either that or the people who run the world really are trying their best at preserving peace and democracy, all that happy horseshit, and they're just doing a terrible job. That OR there is a group of super-elite motherfuckers who control the governments in the world, and they just have their own agendas for things, and those who we accuse of doing this or that wrong are all at the mercy of this super badass other group. Illuminati shit, man.
None of this means anything. I don't know anything. I'm probably not right. But I came up with a nearly cohesive thing to talk about for 1200 words.
This is over now. Now. Now. Now. Just trying to get closer....and we have...landed!
