This is a rant- apologies to my poetry readers, my next piece will be an actual poem.
Today someone asked me how I could be so selfish to say that I wouldn't care if in two minutes time, someone held a gun to my head and shot me. I find that people these days find death such a horror, and that taking your own life or letting someone take it is 'selfish' and 'cowardly'. Of course I would say in a form it could be called cowardly, but how the actual fuck is letting something that is yours to control go, selfish? Many people, myself for one, find life a train wreck filled with difficulties, deal with it.
Now don't go assuming I want to die, because I don't, if I did then I would be dead, obviously. But the fear of life ending is a disease that irritates the shit out of me, and people who think people like me are stupid, even more so. I get pissed off when people label others, because labels are another bullshit product of society that needs to be destroyed. So what if someone hurts themself, so what if someone hates every human being around them, so what. People focus on labels so much, that they forget what they really actually need to do, is fucking think before they speak, and help instead of picking at others who are different. It makes me sick that I even have to say this, because I really shouldn't need to.
The common misunderstanding of disorders, or just people who are different, is that telling them to stop will help. No. You talk to them. They are not a disease, they are not infectious, they are people.
So for god sakes, next time you find out someone has a problem, help them, and don't just sit there and comment about it. Even if its against what you think, even if other people will frown at you for doing it, do it. Because then maybe instead of having hollow friends, you'll have something much better.
Respect. Which is also something that many people lack these days. So think about that.
~Alright.. Rant over. I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, as I know many people on here fully understand what I'm saying, and are already amazing people. It's just some other people need to sort themselves out. Good, done.
