De Value Judge Mentality

we would like to presume, each of us, that we are essentially good, or barring a desire to sight by a moral compass, that we are right. There are few who do not weigh their own virtues as those most important to be upheld, and their own faults as those most easily forgiven. At times we will even wear our obnoxiousness as a badge of honor. Well then, hooray for fucking us.

Perhaps I am criticizing. It seems likely, after all, that is exactly the sort of thing that I'm claiming we do. Can we stand at the precipice of self-realization and not flinch away? I for one grow tired of walking the tightrope between hypocriticism and depression, but then, I can be something of a cynic. When I wonder how someone can act the way they do, a beast of shit and razors, how long can I maintain my sense of superiority before collapsing into the mirror? Nobody ever just has a nametag, "I seem like a jerk at first, but once you get to know me you'll see I'm really a total prick."

There is filth and pain in the world, but I am not the answer; I know not the answer. Love everybody, assholes. Stop being so rude and mean, you self-righteous bastards. Quit fighting or I'll punch you in the face.
