Waking up to smell the foul stench of illusion

Holdin onto the past!

Well, the mornings haven't changed. I'm eighteen now and everything seems different, i am seeing people for what they really are now. My mind was clouded by illusions before but i finally realized whats making the world spin.

Everyone in the planet has their own illusion of the world around them. for example lets pick out a random person from QA that we both know. The (insert screename of someone on QA here) that you know, is different from the (insert Screename of someone on QA here) that i know. We know different aspects of everyone in the world and with those aspects we build an illusion of the person we see. The me that i know is different from the me that you know; vice wersa.

Humanity has to hide in illusions. Well lately i have been seeing through the illusions i set up when i was younger and i realize that everyone i see around me is a total dickhead. They all attract attention to themselves so that they can recieve sympathy to feel better about themselves. It appears humanity as a whole is doing this, and happiness has completely vanished. I am stuck in this mood of melencholy because i have realized this truth. I wonder if im not the only one. Maybe this is why people go insane. But we're not insane, we are the only sane ones left, everyone else is insane. its like a normal person in the group of weirdos; the weirdos are the normals ones and the normal guy is the outcast. I'm beginning to wonder if this feeling of love that i have is just an distraction from the real picture that no one here will ever love me because they are to busy trying to rob sympathy from others.

Thus every morning i wake up to bastards and have lost the hope of ever finding that myth of love. But then again i can be a bastard in someone else's world. I might just even be one of the bastards in your world. understand? :hmpf:

I can somewhat symapthize with this state of mind of yours, while at the same time disagreeing with it. My biggest gripe for a long time was how dissapointed I was in people as a whole because I saw too many around me committed what I call the worst sin against mankind: wasted potential. People who were intelligent not realizing it, or others who simply chose to become a mooch off the system as opposed to better themselves. That made me lose my hope and trust in mankind as a whole.

This was only further made apparent when I was stationed in England where anybody over 18 can drink. When every weekend I would see droves of kids fresh out of mom and dad's house, hanging over the balcony screaming in their drunken haze. And then to hear them on a Thursday talk about how their plan is "to get a bottle of Wild Turkey and get so f'ed up they don't even remember the weekend."

It's easy to become disenchanted with humanity as a whole. It's easy to sit in the emperors chair and pass judgement on the rest as if we somehow know something they don't. I admit that for the most part, I dodge contact with others but at the same time I have to try to give the benefit of the doubt to people until they prove otherwise.

As for the illusions you speak of... of course we all have different public and private personae, it's a necessary part of a functioning society. If everybody went out and just said what they wanted and did what they wanted all the time, then we'd have collective chaos. And humans are a social creature, so while you call it fishing for sympathy, I'd call it fishing for attention. The difference appears to be that your need for that attention simply isn't as great as it is for many others.

And in regards to one of your closing comments of love, that's always going to be a tough nut to crack. You attribute lack of love to people wanting sympathy, and I'm convinced that women want to be treated like crap, otherwise all the asses of the world wouldn't be married. Best you and I can hope for is someone that breaks our preconcieved notions and shows us otherwise.

And so completes my arbitrary and likely pointless diatribe.

Under construction. Who doesn't like plain text anyway?

Oh, I smell something, alright.

You go around calling everyone bastards who only want attention for themselves and then gripe about how noone is giving you the attention/love/sympathy you feel you deserve. I really hope you're seeing the irony in this.

Don't let the "truth" that you have somehow "realized" stop you from trying to understand other people's "illusions". Personally, I find your "truth" judgemental and condescending, so I guess it's a good thing you are honest enough to come forward with your feelings on the subject. Otherwise, I might have mistaken you for an alright guy.

From the mind comes the query.

To anima241 (and, since you bring yourself in, shoujoboy):

Let us say that everyone's a total dickhead, that everyone lives to suck off sympathy off other persons, for one's own betterment. Would it be better to just accept that reality, and be swallowed by it?

looks like im a bastard in northy's world.
Beyound measure, i would not want to live off of that reality because i am not able to adapt so quickly anymore. now it is very hard for me to accept changes and for this i cannot live a lie. Northy here sees me as a bastard so thus her illusion towards me is completely hostile. there are some acceptions to this illusion. but a lot of the majority of the world today even adult like my grandma are simply looking for attention. I do not need attention to survive northy.

Not that it matters in the long run, but I'm a guy.

Anyway, what reality? Adapt to what? What illusions? What kind of attention do people seek that you find offensive? If you're going to blame the entire world for something, at least be more specific. Or bring some examples to the table. Because the only thing I can read from your post is that you seem disappointed with the fact that people fail to live up to whatever expectations you have for them, expectations that they may or may not have asked for. As far as "people are looking for attention/sympathy" are concerned, however, I have no idea where you got that from. It sounds like you're blaming people for socializing and trying to give off a good impression.

As for how I'm seeing you, that leans more towards "self-absorbed", maybe with a hint of nihilism. If that qualifies you as a bastard in your own pocket universe, then yes, I see you as a bastard. Everyone on this planet has good and bad sides to them, and it sounds to me like you refuse to see their good sides, instead choosing to focus on the solely negative traits. That's my "illusion" so far, so feel free to convince me otherwise.
