Narcisism

What drives someone to be a horrible person? I might be a bit full of myself (ok, a LOT full of myself), but I think that generally I believe I am a decent person and act like one. I like to imagine that people like me because I act decently. I try to lend a sympathetic ear, I try to do right, i don't beat up bums - unless they really deserve it. I don't kick babies.
Even evil babies that have it coming.

So why are others in the world horrible? What is the point?

I will assume that making someone else miserable somehow validates their existence.

Let's assume my assumption is true.

That's sad. These people are really sad.

I hope that I can eradicate these sad people from my life, but I hope even more that my friends and family can get rid of the sad and terrible people that meanthem discomfort just to boost themselves. Because the people I roll with? They're not those people.

And we will overcome. We might get knocked down a bit, but we have each other to lean on, to hold up, to get pulled up by. A support system.

I've decided there is no more room for horrible people in this world. Join me. RISE UP! Kick the nastiness to the curb.

Also, listen to the new strokes album. it's good.
