What do you hate about yourself?

Lol. We need more of that attitude I miss BSR I admit it.

 

No comprende.

 

I hate that i contradict myself

 

Wisdom and intelligence are two very different things... intelligence is usually characterized by how much a person knows- almost literally how much information is packed in the brain... but for my purposes, wisdom is simply knowing how much you do not know.

Why hate it? Us of lesser intelligence exist in your universe for the purpose of teaching you the finer character assets of patience and compassion. Besides, some folks insist on rendering the service of demonstrating life lessons by doing stupid things- and not learning from them. If someone observes and makes mental notes then the misadventure is not a total loss. A very good friend of mine has said numerous times that no one can be completely useless, they can always serve as a bad example.

Besides, without a majority with lesser intelligence, you wouldn't be able to enjoy your elite intellectual status.

 

compassion and patience are not virtues, they are simply requirements because the world is full of insufferable fools.

and I would much rather live in a world wherein I were qualified to be no more than a secretary. I have to be responsible because I am surrounded by idiots, if I were surrounded by my betters, I would get to be irresponsible.

that would be enjoyable.

 

Well- since you have no choice but to be surrounded by idiots I see but a very few options for you- the best in my estimation would be to deal with them with a sense of humor... you choose not to see compassion and patience as virtues and I can understand why- I see your point... however I still believe them to be virtues. granted- they can be used against the person showing them.. the key is to ration them. A former co-worker put it best once after I expressed a measure of humanity for another co-worker who seemed always to be in the middle of one shitstorm or another- he said nearly every adult who is dealing with trouble did it in one way or another to himself... and I gave that some though... and found it to be the case- at least for me.

Of course I've never lived in an area prone to natural disasters- have what I estimate to be a normal intelligence that just happens to be firing on all cylinders and have not had to deal with any real serious physical problems so there's nothing for me to complain about- if you number me among those with inferior intellects then that's certainly your prerogative. My reaction, internal or otherwise will not change that- it is my choice whether to subject myself to victim status because of it. A hint that you may think that way is suggested by your frank assessment of what I deem to be virtues... in the form of your opinion of my defining them as such to be flawed. I'll concede that they may well be weaknesses with certain people... but in the case of so very many folks- the fact that they possess these virtues at all makes them at least minimally tolerable to be around.

 

It's a property of all matter.

 

As long ass you don't get into heated arguments because of it...

No one has to be surrounded by idiots.

that's what select groups are for.

 

I hate the fact that though I have so many "aquaintances" I have very few close friends. And even the few that I have are only my friends when it's convenient for them.

I hate that I'm used to being alone.

I hate it when I'm overly sensitive and let it get the best of me.

I hate it that I never know what to say till after I've already said the wrong thing.

I hate that the only person that needs me is my dog, and that if I died tomorrow it wouldn't make a wave in anyone elses life.

 

same here, except i know that im doing it, i just dont really care

 

^ Totally. Not even in some evil sense. It's just happening out of you in front of you and simultaneously you're thinking. Oh no.

And yeah not till after then do I realize what I should have said. These are all things that can be helped to some extent not in a single day. But in a process of self awareness.

 

was that directed at me? na, not an evil thing. i just dont care because people aren't worth the effort most of the time, so why bother?

 

Knowledge is, being shared. That which you withhold from the world, you withhold also from yourself. If you do not find value, that is value lost to you.

 

yea the thing is, i dont recognize value. or at least, not in the sense that you mean.

 

You're lonely.

 

There is no value being withheld from you. If you do not recognize value, then you do not know what you are talking about when you say you hate something.

 

True- IF you have the time to cultivate such a group... though that seems to have happened in my case.

I suggest you start looking at them as entertainment.

 

Sometimes when you're alone you're in the best company...

Your "friends" are teaching you the art of being selective

You gotta grow some thick skin

Sometimes (usually?) the best thing to say is nothing.

Don't underestimate the effect you're having on the people around you- especially family.

 

I don't think he hates the fact that he hurts the people around him... he's just aware that he's doing it.
