Haters gonna hate :)

[girlluckcharm]

Hey. Even though there's these other BIG problems we REALLY hate.. and this other group is HELPING US... Hmm... Well.. They're not PERFECT, so execute them.

I only accept help from those whom are perfect!

Thank you liberalism?

Quit hating yourself. The only people who truly dislike you are those whom your words will NEVER persuade.

Just realize that they are beneath you IN THAT AREA and move on.

You can come back and help them out later.

I mean, help all that you can, but don't sacrifice your own personal goals to do so.

And hopefully your personal goals ALSO involve helping others and aren't ONLY "Make my life even MORE enjoyable!" Because really, from a completely self-interested point of view, it is better to give than to receive, but before you do either, you must have. Ouch, huh?

Let humans live their own lives and don't panic every time one kills another.

After all, do you panic when black people die?

Do you panic when one polar bear kills another polar bear?

Of course not.

Don't be silly!

And quit being Lost.

I'm just trying to get out of here.

Also, don't trust me.
