There's A Difference Between Lonliness
And Being Alone
I'm not anti-social as much as I'm contra-social.
Even maintaining a strong sense of non-approachability with sunglasses
and an unmarked dark gray baseball cap over Jeffrey Dahmer inspired
facial hair, invariably some stupid brave soul feels compelled to
interact with me and thus prove what a loathsome excuse for breathing they happen to be.
I am rarely surprised by their stupidity, cupidity, arrogance or
ignorance. Par for the fricken course. Certainly I have "anger issues,"
but I have them firmly in control, so let's (myself and I) go get a drink, eh? Groovy...
A “Friend” Writes
I hope I was right about you're reaction to the Johnny Sneer Twitter account, and also that after our conversation you either understood or at least regained a broader context with which to mediate your initial, visceral reaction. While completely unsurprising, it was nevertheless gloomier than warranted: and please note my use of the comparative. It would be unrealistic and irresponsible not to recognize the dark undertow coursing through the above link, but I'm afraid it is an honest, organic reflection of our era.
Having been nurtured in Augean stables of pandemic mendacity and industrial-strength hypocrisy, this demographic tends to exhibit everything from varying degrees of unconscious contempt to unqualified disrespect for their society and much of what it celebrates and rewards. Bertolt Brecht comes to mind. So if you can't brighten or channel our Mr. Sneer's stream, you might consider adding to it and influencing it in a way that respects his autonomy without relinquishing the prerogatives of your intellectual rigor or altruistic intent. N'est–ce pas?
