no title now
i may have mentioned this once before, but it is my belief that anything that anyone or any animal or any plant, any living thing, does, supports one of two things. that being survival of the species and survival of the individual. for example, laziness, at the root of it all, we are lazy because we need to conserve energy acquired from the food we eat and so we are inclined to save it by not expending it. thus, laziness. not saying that everyone who eats is lazy, but that is the reason it exists. in this day and age when food is abundant and obesity is an epidemic, we abuse this.
now, concerning my belief on survival, i may or may not be right but it seems a logical conclusion. those with a strong religious leaning may disagree with it saying that it's only because this is how God would have it..etc..etc.... but, i think it is correct. if you see a flaw here please let me know.
now, going from this idea how does one explain hatred? the logical assumption is that it is a defense mechanism. i hate this mushroom because it tastes terrible, probably because it is bad for me. what about hatred of people? perhaps it stems from a territorial thing. there are limited resources here so i will protect it. those bastards over there want my resources and i will kill them before they deplete what is here for me and mine. makes sense? ok, but what about on a smaller scale. for example, why would i hate the parasite on wheels mentioned in an earlier post? psychologically speaking, i often hear the idea that we hate others because of the things we see in them that are things we hate in us. drivel... now i'm sure that this is true in some cases, maybe even in most cases.
however, morality drives these basic ideas. and morality is an institution contrived by man to control. control comes from a sense of fear.
ok here, it is wrong to kill people. why, because we don't want to die. the idea is instilled in us as a protective measure for the whole. this idea once rooted in, prevents me from going around and brutishly inserting my 10 hole oxblood doc martins forcefully into other backsides. do you see?
now back to the motorized troglodyte, why do i hate her? i've considered this, my dislike began when she was grabbing my junk. now she is employed here and i see that she uses her disability to sucker people into doing all sorts of things for her. (ie. have them make a latte at the cafe and deliver it to her doorstep at home) i understand my dislike on a few levels. one is that she gets away with many things that the rest of us would get fired for...(ie. 3-4 hour long personal phone calls 5 feet from the GM) another, that she's a parasite and uses up time and people, both of which we are lacking right now. her intrusive nature and need to insert herself into any conversation around. her unnatural ability to zero in on the sound of a baby within a mile radius to coo at it. anyway, i've given it thought and i don't think that the afore mentioned reason applies here. i could be deluding myself but i don't think so. i don't identify with her in any way. but now there mere sound of her cackle has me gagging on the taste of bile.
hmm....i gotta leave now
