The beginning of 2020 was a careless year, perhaps the most careless I have ever seen, and 2021 has been no different. The grandiose calls for "more empathy" and "equality" amounted to jack shit in the end. The same people who were oppressed in 2020 are still oppressed today. Literally nothing has changed. In fact, it has gotten quite a bit worse. The extended benefits are gone and the infrastructure bill has absolutely nothing in it that will be of any worth to real people because billionaires whined until they go their way as usual. And you all allowed that to happen. You sat by and did nothing to prevent it. Why? Because you do not care. You do not care about me. You do not care about your friends. You do not care about your family. You care about yourself. You are selfish. That is the end of it. You are so selfish that you think everyone is judging you; that is yet another act of selfishness. Why would anyone care what you do in your spare time? Why would anyone care how you dress? Why would anyone care how much money you make? Why would anyone care how popular you are? No one does, but you certainly do. You care how you are perceived by others; that is why you are all over social media spreading your various unwanted opinions to the world. You need to feel that you are somehow in control of others. And so you, because you are fighting for control of the world, you assume, incorrectly, that other people are trying to stop you from being the best, the brightest, the biggest. But no such thing is going on. No one is listening to your stage play. People fell asleep during your performance long ago and now they are looking for the exit. All those beautiful pictures you took will eventually wind up in the garbage. All those connections you made in your social circles will eventually dissolve. All the jobs you pursue, if you gain them at all, will eventually be taken from you. The "status" you currently have means nothing. It is a show, a parade, an advertisement that was written, directed and produced by none other than you. No one cares. This may sound harsh, but it can actually be quite the relief. Study after study has proven that human beings are self absorbed creatures, that they only care about themselves. Of course people will continue to refuse to accept this simple fact because people are performers. They love to feel like their view of the world is reality. And so people keep freaking out when they spill mustard on their shirt. They fiddle with their clothing to make sure they do not look fat. They prepare themselves to go out, sometimes for hours. And for what? Nothing. No one saw any of it. Do you know what they saw? Themselves. All that time you put into your look was for you. It makes you feel good to think that you are prettier than everyone else, that you have more money than others, that you are the best person to ever live. Everybody wants to be the king; nobody wants to be the fool. But if everybody wants to be king and assumes that they are kings, does it not follow that kings do not care about commoners? Do you really care about your subjects or do you allow them to starve on the street? Indeed, do you not dictate to your subjects what they can and cannot eat? Do you not instruct your subjects to bow before your righteousness, to adopt your moral creed? Of course you do. You are like everyone else. So run to your social media pages and decree with gusto your ten commandments, unleash your punishments upon the world, take your revenge. You are Hamlet. You are Iago. You are Agamemnon. You are Achilles. You are Macbeth. Your anxiety about what others think of you, is nothing more than a veiled threat. People better bow before you or you will go mad with jealousy and destroy all who stand in your way. Everyone better notice when your hair is frizzy. They better not like your outfit. They better be making fun of you. Because you hate yourself so everyone else must, as per your royal decree.
