weird post is weird
Jan. 18th, 2012 09:57 pmThere used to be a time when I cared a lot about all kinds of things. I would sit at home being frustrated that I couldn't go out and join protests, that I couldn't even write an inspiring blog about some issue or other. I wanted to make a difference.
I don't know what has changed since then, but these days I barely bat an eyelash anymore when the latest concerning news reach me. I just sort of shrug and think, "Yeah, that's obviously bad. That should obviously stop. I don't have the patience to even consider the idea that some people might not agree with this assessment."
You know, that SOPA/PIPA thing or what it's called? I never bothered to research it further once I'd got the gist of it via Tumblr. I'm so fed up with all the crap that's happening, I don't even want to know the details anymore. It's too much and it never ends. I am powerless, so why waste time being frustrated??
Occasionally something will be bad enough to shock me out of my apathy for a moment, but seeing everyone else freak out tends to negate that because oh good, people are aware, people are opposing this; all will be well. I realise that this would be a terrible attitude to have if it were in fact an attitude, but haha lol oh gods my official attitude consists of "Could I please have a functioning brain and body so that I may join the fight one day?" The rest is involuntary.
Although I must admit that part of it is also, uhm ... arrogance. I completely forgot that I could be arrogant until I had to watch Daniel use a computer once again after many months of being spared that fate, and I promptly turned into some kind of sarcastic monster, whoops. (I'm talking, like, McKay level sarcasm here. I thought that was one of the few things I fortunately didn't have in common with that character, but lol nope.) I guess that side of me doesn't get a chance to come out often anymore, what with my currently severely limited abilities. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that in spite of being a very nice person who would never look down on anybody for being less intelligent or having a learning disability etc., especially now that I've been in that position myself a little too often, I can get extremely impatient with People Not Getting Things under certain particular circumstances (must work on suppressing the impulse to voice that though, FFS), and apparently those circumstances now include the world not having reached a state of utopia yet??? Like, goddammit I'm tired of waiting for everyone to catch on to how things should be done and why isn't everything perfect already?????
... Guys, I think I have issues.
