No one asked me ...

No one asked my opinion, so here it is:

Let a person be happy with the way they are. You don’t want someone telling you how to live your life, right? We bump our chests and spit out cave man speak all the time about “freedom”.

So let a person be happy with who they are, even if you don’t agree … or even better, understand it.

I get that a lot of people are just frustrated because that’s what’s on TV right now. And TV is our god right now. And we base our happiness on TV right now. But here’s an idea … you don’t like what’s on the TV right now … turn the TV off, right now.

Read a book or listen to some music.

I get tired of the shit that’s on TV too.

I get tired of the infomercials, the church worship hours, the “reality” shows and the Tigers losing to the fucking A’s. Guess what I do?

I turn it off. I read a book. I listen to the radio. I don’t bother myself with it.

Everyone seems to wake up in the morning looking for a new reason to be pissed off and angry. It stems, I think, from our ancestors, who were hunters and gatherers.

We now hunt and gather social media and then bitch and complain about it, as if we really don’t want it.

It’s like a drug, I suppose. That drug we can’t seem to kick.

You know, Caitlyn Jenner wouldn’t be on your TV if a piece of society hadn’t created the interest. Duck Dynasty wouldn’t be on TV if a piece of society hadn’t created interest in it. There wouldn’t be 100 hours of church services on TV if there wasn’t a piece of society that created the interest.

It goes on and on.

We create the madness that we end up hating.

Now, I know, someone will say “Well i don’t watch that shit,” and I’ll say … “maybe you don’t, old chap, but someone did. In fact, a lot of people did. We love disease and we get off on others pain, and so … here we are, old chap, sucking down the venom”.

And you’ll call me an idiot, you’ll call me crazy …

When all you have to do … is … well … you know.
