+1 To pathetic with each passing day.

Rather "interestingly" enough, a little point to ponder regarding living life popped into my head. As humans, in a totally uncertain situation, in a totally foreign place, we tend to gravitate towards things that we identify with. For example, you're stuck in China, don't know anyone, can't speak Chinese and need food. Then you see a Starbucks. You're most probably going to head toward the Starbucks for food, mind you, instead of the chinese eatery next door.

So that's really it. Social conformity. But then again, is it really the word to use?Explaining:

If you've really thought a little about social etiquette and whatnot, really, what, rather, who makes up these rules and regulations to follow? Who said what we should or shouldn't do? And then again, who says we're supposed to conform to what's decided? Aren't we allowed to live our lives as such we wish?

So why then are we living our lives according to imaginary rules set by some imaginary person? Are we that dumb after all? Well, if you spent your time thinking about this issue for the past hour, I congratulate you... for being a complete idiot. I'll explain:

The issue itself is very simple: Social rules are governed by our traditions, national culture and fucking common sense. Then why are we supposed to follow these rules? Easy. Social reponsi-fucking-bility. We want to live in peace with the person next door as is with the person next door living in peace with us. Well then, problem solved.

But, yes, yes, "we're only human". And being human, we feel, we desire to do differently. Oh the whoop-de-frickin-horror. We still entitled to do whatever we want without really anyone doing a damn thing about it. Interesting! Yes, so we're all entitled, DESPITE THESE "RULES", to act according to our whim. Eat whatever we want, do whatever we desire, talk to whoever we want, say whatever we want. No rules against saying whatever we wish huh? No rules against back bitching, no rules against slander (oh wait, THERE IS.), no rules against doing anything to grab the headlines. Oh wait, one more: No rules against scolding the fuck out of someone for being stupid either! Live with that.

For the most part, I believe I'm unique in my own way. Most of everyone I know can agree that I cannot be substituted. I know and believe that.

If someone wants to believe that they're definition of unique is being a non-conformist, then so be it. Don't take people's scolding as a sign of strong bullying the weak. Please, that's such a grossly immature thought. Generally, the rule is that if you fuck around with people around you, generally, well, they'll fuck with you right back. Ye who fires the first shot better be ready to fight a war. Simple as that. Don't go around staring something you can't bloody finish. Oh, btw, refer to above when I said:

Oh wait, one more: No rules against scolding the fuck out of someone for being stupid either! Live with that.

Acting all "defiant" and saying that you're your own man and this is clearly an act of the strong to bring down the weak? What bullshit. So being the "weak" one, what now? Fight back? Continue doing what you are already doing? No one ganged up on no one. It just so happens that fucking around with 20 people causes 20 people to fuck around with you right back, DOESN'T FUCKING CONSTITUTE ganging up on someone. In the first place, question is why start something in the first place and whine about it after?

After all this time, the message isn't still getting through that thick skull to live life, not "normally", but peacefully with those around you. Every day, it becomes more and more apparent how pathetic you really are. Every day, it becomes more and more comical and laughable at how insecure you really are. Every day, it becomes more and more sad at how dellusional you really are. Good luck to the next 40 years of your life because it's only going to get worse from here on end.
