Sometimes I wish I could smack old people with a stick.
See how they like being berated with their useless and antiquated ideals / knowledge (politics, marriage, religion, etc...) I don’t mean people just older than me, I mean seriously elderly people in political power or the old man that thinks telling me about how his military experience means his opinion matters more than others, or the guy saying he knows what Jesus would do, then proceeds to quote Leviticus.
Then, I wish I could smack really young people with a stick too! The kind that cry and berate others for not giving them attention or suiting their ideals to a T before they just flat out either A. leave you or B. annoy the living shit out of you about how bad it is for them. Come on people. You’re 13 / 15 / 17 years old or w/e, you barely have a world view yet, and if you did, you’d use it a lot more effectively. Have some self respect, and if you don’t have any, use that anger, sadness, and overall negativity to drive yourself to a better goal than to shit on other people.
On that note, I apologize if it seems like I’m trying to do the same thing but I really don’t know so much to say my ideals are better than others. I just like to remind others to be more respectful and have a better attitude. Push and push and push the ones you care about and you may find yourself having shoved the important ones off the edge, you know?
