Thoughts in Random Public Stuffs

First of all, those who do the “Mo’s“, here is another challenge: JaVidMo

I’ve been having some weird thoughts lately. Considering the state of the world, watching how it affects various people…I wonder how much of it is all real.

Many people fall prey to peer pressure. There will be a wonderful person who finds themselves in a group of people who begin to degrade a group, and that one person will find themselves uncomfortable positions. Very few will actually stand up and tell someone, ”You are so full of shit.”

”But, oh, Georgie, there is always the fear of repercussion and I got bills.”

Pfft. There are other places that will hire you, maybe even pay you MORE, for having great ethics and welcoming diversity, because that is what makes a business grow.

People have all kinds of excuses, and there ARE people who TRULY do NOT have the mental fortitude to stand up for someone else. They are dependent on someone telling them what to do, how to live, what to think, and they are easily corrupted by a silver tongue wielded by a charismatic vessel of evil thoughts that have been ingrained since their own impressionable days. That is how such ignorance, willful or not, is passed down.

I can command any room, any group, but there are times when I can go undercover as the wallflower. I watch. I watch people I know and love become someone I didn’t know they could be. I watch how people are when I’m not around, or they forget I’m around, or they don’t KNOW I’m around.

The fun part is stepping up and calling out all the bullshit and watching the stutter and back-pedaling: ”You know that I’m not talking about people like you Georgie, I don’t mean you Georgie, you’re awesome.” Stupid shit like that.

It only furthers the sad reality of my metaphor for this world: a zoo.

I wander through and see all these various exhibits…these lives that will never evolve and will eventually just die out…it saddens me. Nature will ensure the survival of the most adaptable. Many of these people…they are not.

There is such potential that is wasted, and while I am sad, I also understand that I can’t change that. People have to be willing to change and grow on their own.

Now, I notice that people are more…maybe careful? No matter how quiet I am when I walk in anywhere, there is always a loud, ”HEY GEORGIE!”

I can’t remember the last time I have gone anywhere and ended up in a huge argument.

As for those who are exceedingly set in their ways…they tend to be older. They will find every “proof” to “back up” their hateful beliefs…but it’s always a comfort to know that the odds of their offspring becoming better people are high, and a majority of those hateful thoughts will die when those people do.

Time goes on. The world will keep spinning.

And I? I will just keep living my life and doing the best I can.
