This isn't really aimed at anyone in particular. Have you noticed though, that in affluent countries at least, there's been a remarkable increase in the incidence of pathetic, self-absorbed whining and self-pity? You know what I mean... Wahh wahh, life is so hard, I'm a talented and unique little snowflake, and yet everybody hates me and doesn't appreciate me...
FUCK OFF AND GET OVER YOURSELF! You're a fragile little bag of meat and bones with just enough intelligence to fuck up your own miserable life and then be depressed about it for the rest of your days, is what you are. Accept it and move on.
Err, yes, sorry. Let's get back on track here. Now I'm not a particularly perceptive or observant person, and yet the answer is so bleeding obvious that even I can probably figure it out. Here's my theory, anyway: life is too easy.
Most of us don't have to worry too much about our most basic and important needs - food, shelter, avoiding predators, etc... day to day life is pretty damn easy. Most of us have to work for a living, but as long as you're earning enough to get by (luxuries aside), it's not really worth complaining about. Pretty much everybody has to do it.
If you're not sure where your next meal is coming from, your mind is going to be occupied trying to solve that problem. You're not going to piss and moan about inconsequential little things. If people have no genuine worries or concerns though, they seem to need to invent things to worry about!
Many people just can't seem to simply accept and enjoy life. I can't understand this. If all your basic needs are met, and you even have time and money to indulge in your own preferred leisure activities and hobbies, what's the fucking problem?
It's like people feel that they're bored or boring if they have no drama or conflict in their lives, so they have to invent shit to complain about, to entertain themselves or make themselves seem interesting. Maybe it's just a subconscious psychological thing where the mind needs to occupy itself somehow, so it gives itself something to worry about to keep the wheels spinning.

There Is No Disease #71 posted by Baker on 2008/06/23 23:04:05
It is the increase of the speed and rate of communication.
Humans have a tendency to allow what they hear to shape their concept of normal, when they are in fact selectively choosing where they listen.
The internet is filled with people looking for excitement to make up for the mundane limits of real life.
But what you hear on the internet isn't "normal" or even typical, it is what scientists refer to as observation bias.

The Disease Of Modern Society #75 posted by ijed on 2008/06/24 04:36:00 Is you.
Sat there, insular, in front of a PC, notebook or even fiddling with a telecommunications device - forgetting about the people around you as you set up a nice fiend / flcikering light ambush, or find the last rune hidden in Digs04.
You make me sick.
While That May Be True, #76 posted by HeadThump on 2008/06/24 05:23:23 I got these mammary implants and I subject myself to a continuous and strenuous course of hormone therapy for the sole purpose of nursing abandoned orphans whom society has deemed unworthy of love, wait, gotta go burb little Suni . . . okay, I'm back. So if I indulge in a little me-time fragging fiends and the like, I hope the world can find it in its heart to forgive me; after all, between A.J. and myself, we pretty much carry the weight of it all on our shoulders.
Farking Hell #77 posted by Shambler on 2008/06/24 08:38:04 I didn't even find the 3rd rune in Digs04, I suck at even being the disease of society (is this what it feels like to be CZG?)
Shambler #78 posted by JPL on 2008/06/24 08:50:02 Stop whining, and either go map, or go suicide...
Well #79 posted by ijed on 2008/06/24 15:19:26 That second part was wishful thinking - still need to find the third rune myself :P
But I will, continuing this downward spiral of degeneracy.

Amen to that, brothah.

Hmm #86 posted by nonentity on 2008/06/26 23:37:00 I liked that speech/rant. Only bit of the Matrix that wasn't a rip off of John Woo or Descartes.

lol
one of my friends was exactly like that when he first saw the matrix, and he didn't even have the excuse of being stoned.
