Detached Responsibility

This issue still bothers me a lot, we seem to be filled with the whole "out of sight, out of mind" philosophy. Obviously there are only a certain number of things that may occupy our time and therefore it is important to prioritise and do what we can. Does this have to affect the amount of time spent on merely considering the thought once in awhile?

Just the very thought is mind boggling, we don't really know what happens around the world beyond what we are informed. A few examples of these are the diamond trade, MNCs exploiting third world countries, even something as minute as animal rights in slaughterhouses. Surely I am aware that there is no way I can do anything about these problems individually but obviously a difference may be made if we all somehow boycotted these industries. Fat hope, I hate hippies anyway and my Nikes look awesome on my feet. I guess I've somehow accepted how the fact that these things will happen and that I have indirectly allowed for it to happen. This is what it means to have detached responsibility.

I suppose the only thing I can do that is close to the stated problems is kill my own meat. People say hunting is a barbaric sport when there is readily sliced up and cleaned meat available in the local supermarket. Granted. However, the very fact that somebody else has taken full responsibility for taking the animal's life is ridiculous. It annoys me to no end when I hear people are willing to eat the meat but not kill the animal. Detached responsibility is one thing, complete delusion is another. Why aren't you able to look a fellow animal in the eye and take its life? Perhaps killing your own meat will give one a greater appreciation for the life it has lost in order to feed oneself.

That's another thing, just the very fact that you're so used to seeing slabs of meat instead of real animals that the lives given mean almost nothing to you. I'd assume only vegetarians think about these sort of things, that's fine.

I hate vegetarians.

Take responsibility people, if you are responsible for something, at least openly admit it. The only way these things happen is if it is profitable to do so.

Status Update

I thought I'd be bitter, but I'm not. All that's happened is all well and good and I treasure the time spent. At least all ties cut to the past are gone, for the first time since I left my country, I'm finally free to start over again, and I'm doing a real good job of it.

Last night was the first time in a long time that I was able to completely be honest about my past. I was able to fully talk about it with a good friend and that felt really good. I really love how my life is now and I don't really want to change it. I recognise that there are some things I need to work on, but I'm healing and getting better and that is fine.

Bah, I hate these self-healing freaking posts. So stupid, honest to god.

Number One Giant Shitter

Such are the facts of life, ever since I got single things have been really weird. Long time male friends suddenly behaving in a completely different way, which is fucking annoying to me. Excuse me? I thought we had a friendship going on, was the only reason why you even spoke to me in the first place was because you wanted to bang me? Am I to assume that platonic friendships are really that freaking rare?

Then again, obviously the more attractive you are, the more likely people would want to interact with you in the first place. Granted. However, would you keep the charade up for more than a couple of years or would you put on lay-by. Yeap, I'll be friends with her until at some point she notices I have a penis she can use, and by then it'll be sweet as.

I'm not saying I'm like the most super attractive person in the world, but going from attached to single is so weird. People just treat you so differently. Bleh

I've been a bad girl

I'm terribly sorry everyone, I really haven't been blogging half as regularly as I used to. A lot of shit has happened in the past month, not that it hasn't been happening before that. I've since left my boyfriend of 2 years and moved out of our old house. I actually only really started writing after I got together with him, 2 years ago but oh well, shit happens, I guess.

Nothing much else has been happening with me, I'm just doing some housework on my life and after my exams I'll think about getting this blog up and running again. Please be patient with me, I do not mean to be so tardy. I'm considering moving my blog somewhere else now too, we'll see how it goes. Anyway, to make up for being a tool, here's a mini post below:



What is peace? Is peace just being able to walk freely without the fear of getting stabbed in the face? Is it not being in a war? Is it a period of economic growth? The thing is, for peace to occur in the first place, a governing body must write the laws. Wouldn't that mean that any sort of protest against whatever that particular governing body is doing would be a disturbance of the peace therefore, the peace isn't all it's cracked out to be. We should only be happy about the peace if the people had power, but then how would they get power if they didn't disrupt the peace somehow? I'll never know.

Maybe we should change the definition of peace to: A state of complete obedience to the higher authorities.
