Monologue of a bitter man

Should I just accept mediocrity? As everyone else does. Accept being less than satisfied all the time. I suppose its the only way to survive. To be honest I hate this world. There's not a person here I would think twice about leaving if a better life were presented. In my opinion there's no such thing as "togetherness" "companionship". No one truly listens or cares for another, we are all just selfish parasites. Moving from one place of interest to the next. In order to even be worthy of love you must have something to offer. Usually when I say this people tend to bring up a mothers love for her helpless child. But does that baby not have purity, neediness. Yes, "neediness" is an assets for those who love to be needed. I digress this life isn't what image was sold to me as child. Follow the rules, work hard, make money and you"ll be happy. They failed to mention the class systems, clones parading as original human beings, taxes ( working hard to pay for shit  I don't stand for) and drugs. Oh Lord! they should have mentioned the drugs. Little capsules, leaves, powders or liquids that for a moment take you away from the pain that is life. When I was younger I would see sick drug addicts on the streets; and wonder "how could someone even try something known to destroy your life". Perhaps their logic was happiness is greater than life; Freedom is more fun than responsibility.  Now I wonder as an adult "what's so great about life?' "what is life anyway?'. Life is what you make it right? What if the life you were "making' was one that you hated? Does society give you a the option to change that reality. Sure In theory you can always change your path

This is amazing. There's something in your words that really appeals to me...And you're right. That is me being selfish. I look forward to rereading this and your other words later and possibly offering something of worth to YOU. Be well.
