Since I know nobody is reading this, I’m going to go a little “off the rails”…

This country is fucked.

Too many of the younger people are a large part of the reason I feel this way. Oh, some will surprise you with little demonstrations of “humanity” or “caring” or even “intelligence” – but that seems to more of the exception rather than the rule.

This participation-trophy generation lacks the basic brain chemistry to carry on a face-to-face conversation with another human being. They live in their own vacuum-packed world where they don’t have to deal with real emotions until they bite them in the ass. And then, all they can do is cry and wet themselves.

I know – I’m old. But when I see this demonstrated right in front of my face on a daily basis, it wears thin…real fast. Like now, where I had a young “colleague” tell me that one of the tasks I’ve been working on over the past month was “taking too long” and “dragging out” – when over that past month he’d been saying that it wasn’t a priority and we have plenty of time and kept pushing the due date out. When I reminded this idiot of that, all he could say is “sorry…my bad…” and walk away.

I have a lot on my plate – everyone knows that. But I would have finished this shit up three weeks ago if I’d have known about this kid’s secret schedule. But this is what I get, especially being the old guy in the group.

Maybe I’m trying to be too nice.  Maybe I have to be more of an asshole to get things done. This world will always be full of assholes and jerks – why not go over to the “dark side?” Who cares? Who gives a fuck?

The world is a polluted place.

Made worse by the complete lack of compassion.

I’ve run out of compassion. I’ve run out of a lot of things – heart, patience, understanding…you name it.

Human interaction is dead – killed by “social” media, instant messaging, texts and other digital curses. Nobody cares. Nobody feels. If you don’t fit their narrow little “reality,” there is always DELETE…

You don’t count any more. I don’t count any more.

People don’t count any more. Clicks count.

We’ve become superfluous.

And the next person that tells me to “stop taking things so personally,” or to “smile,” or to “relax,” I am going to punch them right in the face. To minimize my feelings that way is disrespectful and not the thing you want to do to me right now.

I’m sure nobody is reading this – I’ve stopped hoping months ago. I’ve stopped caring even before that. Because of the failure of our society to use one iota of intelligence in the rearing of a generation of children, we’ve likely fed the machine that will bring about the failure of our society as we knew it.

Maybe I’ll live to see it – maybe…

Who cares…
