Day 5: Electron

Let me tell you a story about my classmate who is a walking garbage truck. "She" was smart one enough to be called as one of the best, but her attitude really bothers me. I mean sometimes she does it directly at me and there are times that when she deals with her problems, rather than facing them like a matured person she simply rants it in our room. I don't have an idea if she does it for attention, ego, or just spreading the negativity. What's the point if the people around you feels the same hatred as you are? Having an outlet is great but if your purpose is also to make the people around you feel the same anger, there is something wrong with you.

When you are angry at someone, I think it's only fair that you hate that someone's action and not his or her overall personality or even his or her overall part of being a human being. Everyone has flaws and every one has their own burden. So why do you assume that every person walking around is out there to get you? A person can make mistakes, yes, but to hit them personally and give them low blows is out of the equation. It's plainly wrong. 

Maybe it's the curse of ego, maybe the moment that a person doesn't praise you or kiss your ass is the moment you get infuriated. I just hate it, ruining someone's name just because they have different point of view from you. Hate a sinner but to degrade and infiltrate someone's life just because you have different views is plain out wrong.

Funny thing is how every rant ends with "I'm not affected" after a series of mud throwing and name dirtying. you claim that you are in fact not affected. You violated the person's issues and conflicts, shamed them in front of your colleagues and did everything to humiliate a person. It's funny that the people who can hurt the most are the most defensive ones. They make everything about themselves and that's it. 

I measure a person's intelligence by how they cope with people and reason out. A person who can merely memorize notes are now worthy of respect. That's the bad thing about the school honor system, they feed the children's ego that one point some of them assumes that they possess greater minds than their instructors. I respect the teachers but I'll discuss those some other time. 

Some lines are not meant to be crossed and one should learn their limits. It's not everyday that you are on top. If karma does not sleep, one day the people you loathe are the ones who can only help you and you need to make a step. Just hope that when the day you come and decides to take a step back, you haven't burned too many bridges.
