A Terrible Realization
I've been thinking a lot lately, and the conclusion I've come to is that I'm filled with hate. I look around me, and all that I see sickens me and fills me with anger. The women who come to the store I work at; fat and miserable, I can tell that their lives are not what they had hoped they would be when they were my age. I cannot and will not grow up to be one of those women. I also strive daily not to be one of the vacuous little girls that I go to school with. I will live up to my dreams, I will be my own person, I will be happy. I see stories in the news about what our government, and those of other countries are doing to their people. I listen to the lectures in my sociology class. I had never realized how completely SCREWED things in this country are! I had never realized how deep institutional racism runs in this country, I had never realized just how ridiculous the idea of race even is!! It terrifies me that the state of our "civilized" world is so utterly barbaric! I am horrified and saddened by the way our leaders are willing to fuck us on a daily basis for the sake of their own pocketbooks! I am EMBARRASSED to be HUMAN.

Eh. You'll get over it.
After laughing at your father's note.
Don't worry about being like that. You are one of those who aren't wired for society.
Something I'm still learning.
*sigh*
I hope I don't get over it! More people need to be filled with rage! That's the only hope we have for change!!
Rage is invigorating for the first few minutes. Then it just makes you tired and dyspeptic.
Do you really think that? That's kind of disheartening to me.
You're looking in all the wrong places.
