If You Are A False Don't Entry
I wonder if people really have the capacity to care about one another. Part of me wonders if what I’m about to write is creating a paradox in my own head, but if that’s what this reveals then I’ll leave that up for you to decide.

I was thinking about my immense sympathy for the mentally disturbed, the people who do things that are considered wrong in the eyes of others. Whether it be the things which people consider taboo, or whether the things that people do really harm another individual.

I was thinking about the self righteousness that people feel, over other people who they perceive to be less respectable than them. People feel that it’s good to hate the bad guy, love the good guy, condemn those who do harm to others. That to me seems so flawed, such a damaging and skewed way of thinking, I can’t even begin to describe how it troubles me.

You see it in religions, good vs evil, the ultimate archetype of bad, the fictional character satan. I have so much respect for satan, but that’s beside the point. Looking at people as simply good and bad, it’s so clear as day to me, I feel it in the core of my being; that is a flawed way of thinking, which I believe is the root of human ignorance and prejudice.

Put simply, if you don’t understand the reason behind the way a person acts, yet you only condemn their bad deeds, you basically take blind onus in those who are perceived to be right and never understand those who you believe are wrong. This sort of thinking is wrong for so many reasons, but I feel like if why this troubles me is already lost on you, there may be no reason to even list the reasons in the first place.

I wonder what gives people such a myopic perspective. What takes away the compassion for others, gives people that bug eyed self righteous glazed look. When we encounter people who we have a distaste for, we’re shocked, we’re offended. This is the nature of human beings. Human beings stone, throw tomatoes, we have innate feelings like cringing at other human beings. I believe we’re an inherently selfish race of people.

That is part of what i believe causes the problem. Human beings have an innate fight or flight response inside of them. Some human beings are unable to face the things that frighten them right in the face, they feel uncomfortable and afraid. To me, that cowardice and prejudice and ignorance is more disgusting than any crime committed by a serial killer, or any rapist, or any of the weirdest, most outcast people in all of the world.

People simply being people, there shouldn’t be a bunch of people with picket signs protesting human nature. I guess I should add that I don’t believe it’s okay to rape and murder. because in order to live in a safe society we need to be at peace. That’s sort of beside the point of what I’m saying, but I don’t want misjudgments

There's some truth to what you're saying but I don't really understand your point. I'm guessing this is a Facebook post or something? You meander quite a bit in your writing to the point where you'll lose your more target readers, especially with talk about being worse than serial killers and such.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.

You're not wrong about the paradox. You're falling victim to same generalizing shades of black and white as the people you're speaking against for supposedly generalizing in shades of black and white.

I believe I look at these things deeper than most people. I don't know what you're referring to when you say I generalize these sorts of things. Maybe in relation to how I view people, I do tend to have a very cynical viewpoint. I was really tired last night and my glute muscle is damaged right now, so while I still believe in the point I was making, I may be being too cynical of people in general. I really hope that I am, because I generally do not feel very positively towards other people.

I guess that point of what I'm saying could be taken as just edgy. Honestly though, I really never felt any hatred or disgust towards most people who commit your average crime. So what I'm saying is very honest, that really is how I feel and I'm not trying to skew how I actually think to appease the sensibilities of the reader. So take it or leave it, I'm just being honest.

Really though, since this is not the first time someone has replied to me like you have, I guess it's sort of beside the point, but I'll explain; I do not believe in rape and murder. In order to live in a safe society, we need to be at peace with each other. It's such a simple thing, but I guess that point really could get lost on the reader. Sometimes though, I just want the reader to ask themselves challenging questions, like why I would say such a thing. I like to challenge the people I write to a fuck of a lot more than they usually realize.
