I was thinking about it as I was texting with a couple people this morning about how shitty I feel, the fact that my whole body hurts after a long night of little sleep and a sore throat, a couple good mornings, 2 phone conversations during my 90 minute commute to the office and an email that I read that made me laugh. I am in communication, in some way or another, with a very large number of my fellow Goreans. Male, female, free and slave, and even some that are no longer around. And yet, I find it kind of funny... not funny ha ha, but funny sad... That I am one of maybe a couple that most of the people I talk to on a daily basis talk to or have ever talked to. I am the ONLY one that some have even thought of calling, texting or having a beer with (You know who you are, cheers!).
But then I thought about why this is. It seems that we as a community are out to fuck each other over at any given chance, some of us have been carrying grudges for years against others for something, that while... at the time was important, should have been done and over with years ago. Some of us take a shot at romance, and fail. *guilty*
Some of us are just... indifferent toward others feelings. It's all part of being human. I guess. But we are squandering our ability to be friends with people who, believe it or not, share an interest that is WELL beyond small. I am going to end it here, because I don't need to keep ranting about this. But, think for a moment, about how much different it would be if we stopped being complete dicks to each other and started saying "Hey, perhaps we should work together" instead of being so adversarial.
Just my quarterly rant, folks. On to the next task of the day.
