Life's Vortex

The hobgoblins of little minds.

I believe I used the word 'irritating' when I was talking about all this social maneuvering, manipulations and backstabbing going on behind incredible superficiality. I never said I was worried.

But really, on this aspect, its wayy easier to be a hoodlum. You don't like me? We have a go at it and if I win, that's the end of matters. You wouldn't dare to utter anything behind my back coz you have no idea how far our connections overlap each other and if I hear a word about it, you'd be dead meat for a second time. You wanna have the right to voice your personal judgments? You'd have to up your game. Its just that easy isn't it? Bad guys, yeah probably. But sneaky little rats who think their own opinions mean the whole world? Not a chance, you're either a really big rat, or you're a dead rat.

Its the little people who think they're big that's got a streak in the decent world, because that's why its a decent world: people in it are protected from harm. You're free to be carelessly and selfishly judgmental because you know all you need is a thin veil to claim deniability for this decent world and nobody can stop you from being spiteful. You're not doing anything wrong here because you're judgmental and you've already conveniently judged yourself to be right. Morals don't come in here, the law is protecting you and if a coupla people come along who share your sentiments, there you go, here's your universe right here where everything revolves around what you think.

Half the fun in living life is screwing up other people's lives. The other half is preventing people from screwing up your life. In a cynical austere way, its probably true isn't it? Maybe you don't see it this way because you think you're right and justified in screwing up the lives of the people you dislike and that people are wrong in screwing up yours. But that's just semantics, no matter how you see it, every little universe mashes each other up all the time and that's life.

Can't get around it. Maybe by trying to, I'm being judgmental myself, living in this one-man universe. But hey, why be worried? At least this shows I'm living life in a decent world XD.
