as i get older, i start to notice things like...

[diggy]

...hatred, envy, jealousy, snide remarks, two-tongueness amongst people.

i'm talking about cold-hearted hate

and arrogance

you could see it in people's eyes and in their facial features before they even speak





i think alot of people are also disabled mentally

when speaking to people, they seem to hear what they wanna hear

and things need to be repeated



they see what they wanna see (even though it is not there)

and do not see what is apparent



people like to talk about what they do not know about and act like they know

some people are compulsive liars and try to start rumours between people

[diggy]

not that i did not know these things before

but it is becoming more apparent

[Uncle Steezo]

cold cold world homey.

some people need to do that type of shit cause they can't take the weight so they gotta pass the buck.

[Visionz]

might be a area thing as well. I've been on lunch brake and seen 80 year-old women ordering a beer with their lunch (and smile inside for it) Austin is just that kinda place. For the most part, very chill vibes as a city.

[LHX]

there isnt much more room for this kind of stuff

it is not a successful long-term approach to life

the problem is that these types of patterns appear to have benefits at the moments the decisions are being made -


like rumors, for example -

when somebody starts a rumor, for a few moments they get to bask in the glory as the person who is breaking news

they have the attention of others


jealousy is a symptom of being unfulfilled with self

hatred is a symptom of ignorance

thanks guys

ya my city, Ottawa (Canada), has gotten the reputation as either the "rudest" or one of the rudest cities in Canada in the newspaper less that 2 years ago


people like to think (in my city) that they are so nice, but i disagree



anyway im just ranting

but it is more than what has happened recently


ya people are empty inside and hate themselves and are ignorant leading to hatred of others


it seems that jealousy and envy and hatred plays a huge part in the interactions or lack of it in all kinds of relationships


ya it seems like some people just suck, so they wanna make someone else feel bad

i didnt know that, i been to Ottawa a bunch, most people seemed pretty nice, but maybe it was a good day lol

but i agree with you diggy, as i move thru life, that shit has become more apparent to me. my opinion is that nobody wants to take there own self blame, and try to pawn it off on somebody else, to try to make themselves feel better or not have to deal with there problems.

there is a definite lack of responsibilty and self morales these days, and its hurting society

[Mumm Ra]

too much brainlock stimuli

[carpe.diem]

Yeah me 2.

i've noticed a tendency for people to adopt a sense of superiority based on material posessions

also condescension subtely hiding behind a mask of good-humor and friendliness

and judging based on physical attributes before even conversing with a person

I noticed in high school that no one can do anything alone.

I noticed in high school that no one can do anything alone.

While I was in high school, popularity was solely based on clothes, cars, and other material things but none of it was based on intelligence. I remember seeing at least 12-15 kids together talking all wearing the SAME Jordans. I remember the stories of kids saying that they would stand in a long line to buy Jordans. I also remember a guy who chose Jordans over summer school so that he could graduate.

I wasn't popular because I never wore Jordans, Tims, and any expensive name brand shoes (excluding Nikes) or clothes. The pressure was so bad that I remember working two jobs in high school (and attending a vocational technical school) just to try to buy a $150 pair of shoes so I could at least get some attention.

Next year, I'll have a college degree. I'd say 85% of the students I went to high school with won't. The immature level is still extremely high these days among young people to the point were it's disgusting. Do they feel the need to have all these material things to make them happy? I'm 23 years old now and I know for a fact that I don't need an iPhone to increase my self-esteem. Taking my paycheck and going to the mall and blowing it all on clothes and shoes is VERY pointless and immature. People who are my age are still doing that. The have no sense of direction, guidance, or respect for themselves. I learned a long time ago that those type of people you have to excuse yourself and walk away for them because they will ONLY bring you harm and misery.

If people solely based friendship on material possessions and money, then ask yourself if they're really your friends?

[Dooch]

People don't kno their neighbors like they used to in most places. Everybody is suspicious of everyone else.

Maybe its a product of technology making us more isolated, maybe its a product of integration...who knows.

Its probably a combination.

And on top of that, probably more importantly is that AMericans and Canadians are very mobile people, always picking up and moving from place to place. Nobody really establishes roots anymore.

So everything is foreign and I think it kinda breeds this sort of social phobia or whatever you want to call it.

[diggy]

tru

its seeing people for yourself

and it shatters the image of whatever one thought life or people were like


btw what city do you live in?
