The fine line between needing to be social and needing solitude.

Does anyone else have problems with this balancing act? If not I'm just getting this off my chest.

I feel odd when I'm with people, without being insulting towards other humans I find they frustrate the life out of me. I find people just don't really have much valid to say. At the moment I'm sick of hearing people being demonised for claiming benifits, by people who claim working tax credits, child tax credits etc. I'm not in a position were I personally need to claim benifits, however I'm not into the demonisation of the ill and unemployed. It's not only this issue, people just being wide of the mark on lots of topics, science denialist's tend to be particulary frustrating.

I'd like to get on with people a lot more, I enjoy being social (within my small circle of friends). But I just find people stupid, ignorant and inhumane. I'm generally misanthropic and tend to upset people quite frequently by telling them that human life is cheap and explaining about a history of slave labour, concentration camps etc. Well I say upset, I think it just annoys people as It questions thier humanitarian ideals. I suppose thier lies my problem, hypocritical humanist whom don't see that they treat humans particulary badly. For instance they want to save the world and help African children, but have a poor attitude to work colleages.

I went to Auschwitz recently and people seem perplexed that I didn't get upset from the visit. I find it very odd: when I here people talking about how they think other people should be dealt with for not working (and not conforming to thier belief system), I can easily see how something as big as Nazi Germany could escalate. I find it so odd that people think that work is the only important thing in life. Surely there has to be more to life than self regulated slavery?

Today I cut my grass with mp3 player on and it was just bliss. Solitude and the world blanked out.

Wierdly, I still crave some social activities even tho people frustrate the life out of me.

  • What I find very odd in todays climate is:

    Most peasant's (everyone not a millionaire is a peasant in my world) accept that taxes need to be paid, and for the vast majority don't mind doing. I too accept this. However most people disagree about volume of said tax. Most wealthy folk think they are above paying tax, or the required amount.

    So as a state, we have collected huge quantities of cash from peasants and millionaires. What do people want to spend said taxes on?

    I suppose it is universal that people want to spend lots on education & health. However after these:

    Roads? people say let the motorist pay.

    Trains? people say let the commutor pay.

    Public Sector Workforce? people say nay, they are all lazy looters.

    Arts? Is only for the Rich, let them pay.

    Students? They are scroungers let them work

    Benifits? They are lazy, lash them with the slave stick. Make them work for free, they will sharp find jobs.

    mmmmmm So I pressume the mojority of NT's want to give the cabinet and politicians larger income? Well apparently no they don't wan't that.

    I genuinely believe we'ave got a society that is based around jealousy and bellittle'ing anyone whom doesnt have 4.2 set up. People know what they don't want taxes to be spent on, but no one wants to say what it should be spent on. Sometimes I think people are so arrogant they think they will never need to claim, so it doenst matter if it's not there. Do people think they are immune to illness, cancer and company bankrupcy?

    I've been in a situation were I've payed large quantities of taxes (never 40%tho), nowadays I barely pay tax due to low income. I would prefer the money I've paid in taxes to help people in whatever form it takes. I've been on JSA twice as a youngster and it certainly isnt the easy ride it's made out to be.

    Somehow I need to stop caring.
