The unabashed idiocy that surrounds the Western world, and Eastern and Middle for that matter, never ceases to astound me. For god's sakes [and I use this term rather arbitrarily because I don't believe in "God" at least not as [he] translates onto paper] isn't it about time we stop thinking with our pathetically undeveloped noggins and start understanding what's really going on?
In this two thousand and eighth year of history [according to the bible, Jesus, and of course God] we still stutter and trip over ourselves trying to defend things we don't understand. Want specifics? How about the ridiculous divide that exists between pro Palestine and pro Israel. How about the people that come out with absurdities supporting or trashing one side or the other.. people that read two cents on a wall post and decided it's time to give theirs without bothering to find out what they are arguing about?
The older I get [again, using term lightly because I'm not quite archaic] the more I realise that people really are stupid. Ignorant. Combative yet uneducated. And even worse than all of that, unwilling to become educated.
So here is where I blame somebody. Here is where I tell you that the government has fucked us all and we'd better get ready for Armageddon, though not the kind you hear about in Aerosmith songs, except I'm not going to. Because the truth of it all is that we are all each and individually responsible for our ignorance. There isn't another you can blame than yourself for refusing, avoiding and wandering past information. It's out there surrounding us, begging to be caught, yet nobody seems to be able to get a story straight. Obviously some people are a little bit more implicatable than others.. but at the end of it all, we are indefinitely responsible for ourselves, no matter the cards we are dealt in the beginning.
I don't really know what to say, because I am exhausted by trying. I am done trying to educate and inform and have intelligible arguments with people who refuse to learn. I'm not claiming to be perfect. Far from it. But in my favour I don't fight fights that I don't understand. I don't scream that you're wrong, without making damn sure that I know who is right. And I don't even forget to understand the other side, because there always is one, and there always will be.
