| get your dislike on, get your dislike on |
[11 Jan 2006|02:11pm] |
To begin, a clarification: in the YEAR between December 2004 and January 2006, I read 64 books. Not in the week. The year. Even I don't read that much.
Now, let's get down to business. The business of disliking other human beings. For whatever the reason, there is someone that when I say dislike, their grimy, ugly mug pops into your head and you cannot for the life of you bring yourself to stop it. You may dislike them, but you cannot under any circumstance bring yourself to even tolerate them. It's okay. I say it is okay. Today, I thought about this. And I laughed.
What do people have to do to be intolerable. What buttons do they have to push, what little part of you do they have to find and natter away at for you to maintain this feeling. A scientific wonder.
Here is who everyone, regardless of who you are, and even if you are one of these people, dislike. People who cannot follow simple instructions. Go over there. They go somewhere else. Drink this. They choose not to. Stand up. They remain seated. Whatever you ask of them, they find a way to not purposely, but almost accidentally screw it up. A miracle of modern science. They just cannot follow directions. All medical reasons aside, everyone dislikes these people. I had one person go as far as to say to me today, "well, if they don't know where to go to volunteer even though i told them, you don't want them anyway." Blunt. Truthful. Accurate. Amazing.
A test for you. Keep reading. We'll find out if you dislike yourself in 6 to 8 weeks.
