How content a mind with no care of the world would be

But! Actually, 

A mind with no care of the world is really just "contained"

Contained within itself

And why not? I would rather live with Blinkers on!

It's my coping mechanism after all

It is well within my right in my pursuit of happiness

I take offence, Sir/Madam, Madam/Sir.

I take offence that you find it alright to infringe upon my right to indifference, 

My right to ignorance.

I am well within the letter of law to give no opinion, or, 

Even have no opinion whatsoever.

What was that...? Spirit of the law?

I am a part of society, you say?

Would you come to my rescue when they come knocking at my door? I didn't, so why would you?

What was that...? Vicious circle?

What Vicious circle?

Ssshhh... I actually agree with you, but let's avoid conflicts, Ok?

...I mean...

What if they troll me? Those are some really mean comments out there.

Did you know there actually worst things than rape now?

Russian torture isn't just Russian anymore

Concerns of Society? Sacrifices for a better future?

Better Future... hmm... Is our present any better a future than our past?

Isn't it what John Lewis thought he was getting beaten up for? But #BLM is still trending more than ever...so...

OOOOhhh yeah! Obama happened. True true.

And then again Trump happened too.

You are offended? Already? Why did I have to quote an example from the country that isn't even mine...?

Instead of one from back home, you mean?

Forgive my ignorance, Sir/Madam, Madam/Sir, for my knowledge limits my argument.

For you see, I don't recall any sacrifice (while a great many of them have been made for the cause of betterment of society) which has significantly bettered MY society.

Don't get me wrong... Maybe Your society did benefit & thrive.

But in "my opinion" (refer trailing content), 

In "my opinion" MY society did not.

Now see what you made me do!!!!

You made me take off my blinkers!!!

Now we are outraged & offended & in conflict.

I love you, hence I will tolerate your opinion; And pray your generosity for the same.

Discussing opinions is truly a game of monopoly really... 

Someone is going to end up throwing someone's drink out of the window... 

And I would rather finish mine. Wouldn't you?

It's just a coping mechanism. Promise

Yours Truly,

Just Me
