I Hate My Life

@Wifebeater Mourning over a loss or throwing frustration out to accept what has happened is a part of growing up. 🙂

@SW-User No. Moving on is.

@Wifebeater lol you seem very emotional over this. I was sad. You're putting much more ummm "passion" into this.

@KaiserSolze I am motivating you. Perhaps I ought to be a millennial life coach. You're not exactly my demographic but a decent prototype.

@Wifebeater lol motivating me to disconnect from people and emotions. No thanks lol Took me long enough to realise the value of connection, the price is pain. I'll take the price over disconnect.

I think millenials already believe they're alone, have no empathy and nothing matters.

My son said looking worried "I don't have empathy" so I pinched him and said "did you feel that?... Well if you pinch someone that's how they feel. That's empathy"

@KaiserSolze You're right about the millennial lack of empathy. Can't do anything about it.

@Wifebeater pinching seems to help. It's like a wake up pinch. Why you buying this propaganda and jumping on the "it's cool to lack empathy" train? You feel the pinch, you feel your own pain - it's not a great massive magical leap to knowing a little of how someone else is feeling.

I partially blame the "I'm a magical empath" brigade who turned basic empathy into some super spiritual attribute that only a few people have so they can peddle their so called gift at a price.

It's BS. You can connect or disconnect to empathy. You can deny and suppress or let it be within you. It's not magic, it's not "cool and modern" to lack it. It's nature, nothing that special and there for a reason.

@Wifebeater and same goes for feeling happy when people are happy. We promote jealousy and bitterness in this society. Bit of empathy is all it takes to feel joy about others joy. And feeling happy is much nicer than feeling jealous or bitter. Empathy is a tool or compass to have enriching feelings. Close off empathy and you're lost in jealousy, regret and rage.

@KaiserSolze You are absolutely right. I do not deserve to be a millennial coach. You do.

@Wifebeater 😂 no, if I go around pinching people I'll get arrested 😂

It was a reflex action when I pinched my son. I'd read so much "I'm cool I have no empathy" that when he said it to me I pinched him on a reflex. "wtf" was his initial response and then he got the lecture above.

It needs to come from a millenial to reach millenials. They're either buying into the hippy gravey train of empathy is magic or buying into I'm a badass who lacks empathy. It's somewhat disappointing either way.

Spread the word lol

@KaiserSolze I don't know. There's two groups. I feel empathy itself is politicized now, tbh.

Because caring about certain things and people have huge political implications.

@Wifebeater politics is BS. I vote Green party partially as a statement that politics is BS so I refuse to caste a valid vote but still honour the idea of democracy and partially because what's more important than the planet.

Empathy is politicised and you're buying into that too now. F that. Care or don't care about what you care or don't care about. You own your own feelings and in that regard f other peoples, they're entitled to their view but it doesn't have to be others.

Liberal hippy empathy verses bad ass business psychopaths.

All bollox because most people are somewhere in the middle.

How do you control the masses? Pitt them against eachother. The system, like a sausage machine, makes everyone basically into the same uptight little sausage who hates every other little sausage. We forget we were once all just sausage meat. - That's from a book, I forget which one - but it's the best analogy I've read. We start off as kids spread out and connected. We grow up cut off, cold, frightened. Divide and conquer.. They did it using psychology instead of like past times using cheap alcohol to keep everyone basically sedated. Loads of people stressed out and depressed on medication feeling lonely, afraid and persecuted by society. And if their not on meds then they're bad ass. It's the best control the masses method yet.

You can buy into it all or not. But it's difficult to kick back and do your own thing when the herd is running over an imaginary cliff. Because it is imaginary. That's the beauty of it, that's why it's the best control method yet.

Years ago it'd be a fund raiser - create a bomb or whatever to get funding for military. Now it's a constant ongoing thing used to control. Adverts eg "are you loved" was a valentines ad I heard, wtf, like valentines day tells me if I'm loved or not but there's gonna be people who feel shit or good from that, there's gonna be people beating themselves up in every direction. However you react to it someone is gonna bag you out over it. I turned it off.

Everything we are exposed to, except other human beings around us is generated for the purposes of control. The other humans are unfortunately under its influence but that's unavoidable.

Anyway I try not to get into all this and just live my life.

Peace ✌
