3 things that bother me

Materialism

Materialistic people get on my nerves at times. I'm a pretty tolerant person, but it just bugs me that people don't get what this life is about. They think everything is about how much stuff they can acquire. They constantly talk about all the stuff that they "need" (in reality, it is most likely a "want" item, not a necessity). They constantly buy stuff all the time because they think that's what they need to be happy. They flaunt the items they have. They buy huge houses. They shut themselves up with all of their stuff and think that they will be happy.

It's not about things. It's about people. You know, human emotion? I don't understand people who don't get that.

Don't get attached to worldly possessions. Is your Ipod or Zune always going to be there in your time of need? What if it's batteries are dead?

All that stuff you're buying, you're just using up the world's resources faster.

Self-Centered People

These are the people who like to believe that the world revolves around them. Everything is about them. You have to do everything according to their schedule. People have to make compromises for them to live a comfortable life. They don't really think about how other people feel in a situation so much. they just do whatever and figure "eh, they'll just have to deal with it". Don't be surprised if these people make promises then fail to keep them without considering your feelings.

For example, usually when you say you're going to meet someone, you have two options right? You actually go see the person or if something comes up, you somehow communicate to them that you can't meet them right? Well for the self centered, there is a third option: never show up and never tell them that you aren't going to. So if you really want to piss someone off, tell them you're definitely going to see them, then don't go and see them because you feel tired, decide not to call the person to tell them that, make them wait for you for a few hours while you go home and sleep, wake up, realize that you didn't go meet this person and then don't call and apologize and just blow it off like it was nothing the next day.

Sorry that was a vent.

Then there are people like me who enable self-centered people to keep being that way and because we care about them so much. :-/

Just remember self-centered people, miraculously there is always someone you are being a major jerk to that still cares about you a lot. That's one dedicated friend.

Ignorance

Don't be ignorant please? I have very little tolerance for ignorant people. Stop judging people so much when you don't know them. Don't try to make everyone just like you. Don't assume. Don't generalize. We're all different. Stop picking apart people. Don't try to fix everyone. Try complementing people for once.

We all judge. I'm not a hypocrite. I try not to though because I know what it's like to be judged. We all know.

Not everyone is going to get along. I know that.

I'm just saying, don't be filled with so much ignorant hate.

That's all.
