I'd like to meet:

Open-minded people, people who arent affraid to admit when they're wrong, people who don't blame everyone but themselves for the shit that's gone wrong with their lives, people who aren't cattle and who can't be herded by what's "popular," people without alterior motives, people who aren't afraid to stand up and say "there's something wrong with this" even though they may be ridiculed by all who follow conformity. The list goes on, but you get the idea. People throughout history can't seem to grasp the idea that the world doesn't revolve around them. They can't seem to see that if your not part of the solution your part of the problem. There just isn't enouph uniqueness. Most people don't know how to be themselves or are simply affraid to. Most people don't know how to sacrifice to do what's right. It bothers me in ways that most people can't imagine. You may be saying, "that's bullshit, I am myself!" Well... are you? really? Do you not do certain things because of what your friends will think. Do you not dress a certain way for the same reasons? Do you see someone behave in a certain way and think to yourself "wow, I wish I could be like that"? Do you not get jealous? I would love nothing more than a world were people are truly accepted for whatever they may think or however they my be. Were uniqueness is embraced not either coppied or chastized. Why is it so difficult for people to think for themselves? Most blame others for their mistakes... I can think of many examples but each of those examples will be taken as a personal attack on some individual. So what I have to say on the subject is this, no matter what you may think, no matter what you've been through, no matter how horrible your life may be, there is always a choice. I'll admit some people are in situations they can't help, abused children, kidnap victims, murder victims, essentially people who are victims of crime. but the rest of us who hate ourselves and hate our lives and hate our situations and hate those around us have only to blame themselves. at some point in your life you made a choice, and that choice, every choice, has consequences. The only way to remedy the situation that that particular choice has made for you is to make another choice...accept the responsibility of that choice as your own and do something about it, or blame everything and everyone but yourself for the missery that you, in some way or another, caused and continue to spiral helplessly into hopelessness. I have no hope for most of the people in this world. I can only hope that I will someday meet some people who share my views on the backwardness of society. People who, like myself, don't let themselve be anything but what they truly want to be.
