The Intro Into My Life

Late Night Revelation

It just came to me: I'm misanthropic.

Look at the facts; it all fits:
1) I firmly believe that the vast majority of all people are in some way ignorant bastards.
2) I reserve the right to hate anyone for any reason whatsoever.
3) I believe religion is mainly the result of early attempts of governing coupled (and this is the big one) with humans' inability to deal with the fact that after we die- we rot. That's it- all that happens. Most people can't cope with the idea that survival is what it's all about. Some religions teach that only people have souls and will ascend to Heaven. Just me, but Heaven wouldn't be Heaven without dogs and cats.


4) Humans are ego-centric as a species, largely due to some evolutionary quirk that gave us bigger brains and opposable thumbs. Humans're only better 'cause we can create weapons that set us up as being on the top of the Food Chain. That's why man-eaters put such fear into people- nature that fights back!
5) Speaking of evolution- humans are horribly constructed. 4 limbs and we only use 2 for locomotion. Inferior musculature development. Inadequate tissue density. Poor senses. No/poor natural defenses (claws, teeth, etc). If dropped off in the Arctic Circle with no tools or cloths and no resources to construct some, the average house cat would out-survive a person.
6) I hate crowds. If in one too long, an urge to scream and start swinging starts building.
7) Not a fan of Shakespeare. Coupla good lines, that's it.
8) Find many everyday human customs and actions distasteful.
9) Not wholly comfortable with casual physical contact. I've really got to be comfortable with someone (or drunk) to engage in anything more than a handshake. Yeah- that includes hugs and pats on the shoulder/back.
10) I suffer severe social anxiety. The aforementioned crowd thing's part of it.
11) Find peoples' interest in politics (particularly those as muddled as our system is) laughable.
12) Humans are my least favorite primate.
13) Find the news contemptible. 90% of it (not including the local weather) focuses on all the negative aspects of life. If I want that, I'll watch reality shows.
14) I want to bitchslap people who DON'T believe humans are animals. The choices are: Animal, Vegetable, Mineral. NOT Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, People.
15) I like children though. There really hasn't been sufficient time for people to screw them up yet.
16) I prefer individuals to people. Individuals are meaningful and affirming; people are destructive, stained creatures.
17) I allow very few people into my life, fewer to get under my skin, and even fewer into my heart.



And to think: for the better part of 4 decades, I thought I was merely sociopathic.
hehehehe!!!
