Vent time

I wrote this as a journal entry:

'So apparently by reading/ skimming through an article, I've been given 7 reasons why I'm not "great",
why I won't do anything with my life. I'm "mediocre" "following the herd" "blind to the truth", the list goes
on.

Why?

Why should I be defined by how much knowledge I have, by how much intelligence I have, by how much of anything that I have?

What bullshit.

So I guess that means I'm "mediocre". I can't hold an argument. I don't know shit about web development or quantum mechanics or some other
topic. I don't know this, or that, or some other shit.

You know, it's people like this that get under my skin . They lord their knowledge and their lifestyle over people. Like it's a carrot on a stick
they'll never get. "Look how great I am. All the things I've accomplished." Maybe I'm jealous. Maybe not. But it gets really irritating when people chuck accomplishments on
a pedestal and treat it like it's a holy object. Worship it, bitch, cause you'll never get it in your life. Worthless cunt.

I'm not opposed to learning new things, but for crying out loud, it's not a daily thing. What is it with this obsession over self improvement and knowledge these days? I mean,
it's not evil, but some people treat it like it's all that matters. Does that mean there is nothing more to living?

I guess in the eyes, ears, and minds of these people that peddle an alternate lifestyle, they will probably think I'm a loser, then. I'm just another label. Loser.

Loser. Loser. Loser. Unknowledgeable loser. Blind to the truth. Loser.

If you're so great with your knowledge, why not share it? Or better yet, why not add a little humility? Humbleness? Maybe not come off as an arrogant fuckbus?
Maybe treat those how you want to be treated?

Or maybe *GASP* ALL OF THE ABOVE!?!?!?

Fucking damn it. This is why I hate living in this world sometimes. Every time we don't do something like someone else, we shut them down. We shit all over
them. Like in that article. It was like reading and visualising a torrent of bird shit falling onto a park statue.

Is this how we treat people?

It's sure as hell not going to be me.

Fine then. I'm stupid. I'm mediocre. I'm a jealous halfwit worthless human being because I reject your way of living. Because I don't agree with it. Because I think
no human is worth less if they don't have knowledge. We breathe and bleed the same, but we're raised in different environments. And in the end, we die the same.

As humans.'
