If you're sensitive please do not read this (thank you.)
I wasn't meaning to put anyone down, but I was rather trying to voice why I am glad to be me, even with large issues I have (if you wish to know about, you can find a post by me and my problem on the psychology board posted on 5/18/06)
My problem is that I think too much about things that should not be thought about. I'm trying to find truth, no matter how ugly it is, and the harsh truth of this world is more than people can bare, so most ignore it, which is why I said most people don't think about things. I look at everything (yes everything) from a completely unbiased and very "3rd person" perspective, something most people cannot do.
"Those people" don't ponder the world like or other people like me do. They don't care. They just find something comforting and stick with it. That's why I look down upon them.
Most people have weak intellect. They have no will. No ideals. No nothing. They just do what comforts them, like an animal in their natural environment trying to survive.
I also have other things to say about "those people," but I'll try not to elaborate so I do not offend anyone here. Let's just say I have much higher standards than most and I just look at some people and the mistakes they constantly make and the things they do to shelter themselves and wonder "what the heck is wrong with you?"
When you understand how small most people really are (intellectually, morally, in terms of personal will, etc), then you can understand why I cannot help looking down on others.
I feel miserable because of the things I constantly obsess over, but I still would not trade it to be one of the "sheltered" people. That's what my post was about.
With that said, I think a lot of you on here are not sheltered. You think about things and that's good. I really like and admire anyone you truly truly thinks about things and I think a lot of you do.
