WARNING! EMO POST! DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU!
I want to write a title for this, but I can't think of any. Nothing really beats the feeling of being hated for your existence. Granted, I am with many faults, I admit I can get irritating at times, sometimes I can get a bit high and random, and perhaps sometimes I display a heck-care attitude, the list goes on. However, so is everyone else, that point cannot be denied.
Those who speak badly of me don't really know me well, that is fact. That means, I don't really talk to them. Therefore, one may ask why I don't make the first move. Well frankly, I don't see the use of trying. Call me antisocial if you like, but I'll mix around when I find the need to. Besides, sometimes I am known to piss people off by talking too much, but then again so did everyone else at some point of their lives.
So, going back again, why don't I try? Don't talk = get hated. Talk = piss people off if the wrong thing is said. There, I took the easy way out.
And then again there are some people who still hate you for your existence. Perhaps maybe you don't perform up to expectations of society, and thus you are made a laughing stock of. All of us have been comparaed to someone else at least one point of their lives. I'm pretty suree no one likes to be compared. I don't like being compared. If I'm the inferior one, I'll be branded as such and that would not be very nice at all. If I'm the superior one, well I woouldn't feel good by indirectly causing the inferior one to get branded, and also I'll face the pressures of society to continue this "supeeriority".
Not convinced?
Alright. Imagine you're a really smart person (JUST IMAGINE!). However, society decides otherwise and brands you "DUMB". So, no matter what happens, they'll keep calling you "DUMB". Sooner or later, it'll start to sink in subconsciously and you will feel "DUMB" despite your smartness.
Anyway, I'm not that smart, so it'll probably sink in faster if the "DUMB" branding is used on me. Or has it already been used?
No, I'm not criticising the whole society (even though there is much grounds for that), it's just a minority that start it, and then those small number influence others, who in turn influence more others. The snowballing effect.
The thing is, I find this minority of people really unreasonable. Those at the receiving end of their insults may have less tangible qualifications or whatever, but it's most probably because they just didn't get the correct opportunities (Yes, life is unfair. I've accepted that long ago). Probably, if opportunities had decided to take another turn, that minority of people who just delight in bringing others down would probably be the ones at the receiving end instead.
Don't understand it? Well! Look at Lewis Hamilton! When opportunity presented itself in the form of an Alonso developed McLaren car (further enhanced by stolen Ferrari data), he got 2nd in his first year and won the world championship in his second year. Of course, he wasn't the nicest of people, he called the backmarkers "monkeys at the back" (Monaco 2007). Now, look what happened, opportunity took another turn and now he is finding himself being one of those "monkeys at the back" in an underperforming McLaren. Oh btw, those "monkeys at the back" are now in the front.
Yes. I think it is unreasonable to put others down, even if their results ain't that good. Because, like the case of the "monkeys at the back", opportunities didn't really go their way. Besides, have you ever tried literally to pull someone down? You'll have to apply a force downwards, which also brings yourself down. So yea, by putting others down, you'll probably end up putting yourself down too...
Alright. I better end this here before I blabber on too much.
