“Some people think it’s cool to hate everything. That there is some strength in being able to see so much negative in this already dangerous world. They call it misanthrope, I call it asshole syndrome. There’s already enough hate, violence, judgment and unfair tactics in this world, do you really think you are attractive or cool for adding on to the treatment that so many of us are trying to remove? I have seen girls making fun of other girls for loving themselves, men beating up one another for not being masculine enough or for breaking bro code and sometimes even for looking at them the wrong way. Is there a right way to look at someone when all your eyes are doing is skimming the crowd? I laugh at people who are proud to say that they hate the world or that they are better than someone for having something more expensive, of better quality. Next time you’re at a party say that there is already enough hate in this world, that all you want is peace and watch, there will be someone in that room or that house who chimes in on the conversation and demeans you for only wanting positivity. You want peace? You’re a fucking hippy. You want the world to be full of love? That will never happen, sweetie, keep dreaming. I’ve never understood why wanting unity, love and peace is a bad thing. Why if you tell others you want to better not only yourself but those around you that there is someone there waiting to dangle your past emotions in front of your face to make sure you know that you’re not perfect, that you haven’t changed, that you’re just as bad as the rest of us. So yes, I want peace, I want respectful responses even if you disagree. I want everyone to get along and everyone to put themselves in the eyes of others. I want all of this and I’m not handing out flowers on the side of the freeway to prove my point. So keep going on your rant of misanthrope, I’ll be over here with the people who see no harm in believing that everyone, even you and your self righteous hateful attitude, can change.”
