Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving
I've become increasingly critical of everything and everyone-Not so much the critical where I hate the world and hate everyone in it, just the kind where everyone makes me want to poke my own eyes out. I'm amazed as to how so many people function in society and think so highly of themselves. I find it interesting the way things have changed in my own worldview since high school. I talked in class, and folded cute notes about the boys liked, and wrote little emo songs. I don't talk to a great deal of people in a couple of my classes because it's painful to hear the words come out of their mouth. Since I hardly say a word -This might be a surprise to the kid I bet $20 in 7th grade that I could go 10 minutes without talking and failed within the first 5 minutes- I find that I listen and observe people I ordinarliy could care less about. I have a hard time understanding how people excuse themselves for ridiculous behaviours, make dimwitted choices, spew out garbage, and live their lives blissfully as assholes. Ultimately, I think the problem is me. I don't want to go through life in a daze where I just let God take care of everything because HE loves them. On the otherhand, I don't really feel so loving. I sit and critique how I do what they did better, how I'd articulate it, how I wouldn't be an idiot. I can think of all the ways to make the world better (aside from removing assholes) and how great it could be, but instead of doing anything about it, I just criticize and hold may nose just a little higher. The amount of annoyances and effort I put into allowing myself to even think of poking my own eye out would be put to much better use by contributing to society in a positive way. Until then, I'm the asshole.
