(12:00:21 AM) Me: sarcasm?
(12:00:32 AM) Me: haha if you’re serious, i dunno what you mean
(12:00:40 AM) Me: bkuz i feel the opposite is true
(12:00:48 AM) Me: there’s a general pressure to conform
(12:00:52 AM) Me: to not stick out
(12:01:10 AM) Me: and it’s easier to mock the individual than it is to mock the whole of society
(12:01:22 AM) Me: so it becomes a david vs. goliath type situation
(12:01:31 AM) Me: also
(12:01:42 AM) Me: if you start excelling, ppl will start hating on you
(12:01:44 AM) Me: and the reason is bkuz
(12:01:51 AM) Me: it’s easier to hate on others than it is to hate on yourself for not trying
(12:02:00 AM) Me: it happens all the time
(12:02:09 AM) Me: ppl like you when you’re mediocre
(12:02:16 AM) Me: when you’re on their level or even lesser
(12:02:22 AM) Me: bkuz it makes them feel good about themselves
(12:02:26 AM) Me: but as soon as someone else starts rising
(12:02:36 AM) Me: the obvious question is, “why haven’t YOU?”
(12:02:40 AM) Me: tough question
(12:09:21 AM) Angel: depends on the person man. I dont like having a perverted view of the world
(12:09:45 AM) Me: it’s not pessimism
(12:09:49 AM) Me: it’s just being real
(12:10:23 AM) Me: accepting realities isn’t the same as having a depressing worldview
(12:10:38 AM) Me: in fact, i think once you start acknowledging realities, you can live a truly fulfilled life
