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.

  • I meant it doesnt bother me that you are against militant atheism. Equally millitant atheism don't particulary bother me either as long as they are not questioning someone's rights/liberties to believe in invisible men. I see your point and I see theirs.

    Im not particulary into beating any one else's drum. However I like the concept of "Adversary". Culture of any kind needs counter culture and vice versa. I am however pleased I was born in a time I can express it, even if the extent of my thoughts are repressed somewhat.

    I quite like the qoute:

    "Imagination applied to reason is genius" Levi - Basically subjective reality applied to objective values equals maximum result.I read it today in a book Im reading titled "Surrealism & the Occult" and it struck a chord.

    I also like the a song by Primordial called "Bloodied yet Unbowed", even tho I'm sure there is some sentiment relating to the troubles in Ireland it reminds of the concept of the adverary particulary the lyrics: 

    "To those who did not dare to sing out of tune
    Or sing a different song
    To march to the beat of a different drum and speak
    the truths others fear
    Just give me one thing to live or die for"

    Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZPvfXdRZAE

    Sorry for drifting off. I just kind of believe all beliefs and morals are tempory and comtempory to suite eaches egolitarian needs.
