why christmas is bad for us
seriously ugly insult:
Hey cumstain, your mother got pregnant with you by sucking jizz off the floor at work with her twat!
I can't say to anyone, nor do I want it on my twitter feed, etc., but it's too clever to leave in the air so here it is. Inspired by a cumstain who fakes through the drive thru to steal the dinner bought by the guy behind him. It's a video I saw today.
So I'm colouring my hair. I reasoned that there'd never be more time to mess with it than now so it's getting done. I'm feeling a lot less flu-sick now though I can tell that acting foolish would quickly make it bad again. So a hot bath is good, and a longer bath with more heat is better, leaving it a good time to sit around with product on my head.
I had some great thoughts there, said "must get the blog open and write that down" but then I had to get the product soaking first....
Oh yeah, christmas and self entitlement. First off, let me define "self entitlement" in case it'snot what you understand, or it's new. That's that special state of the ego where it feels it has permission to drive it's own agenda first without needing to consider the needs of those around. A person on their birthday is a great example. Entitled to boons from all and sundry, expecting cheerfulness whether merited or not, and so forth. "it's my birthday so you should give it to me for free!" Well, Christmas is like that. We've gotten so full of the "jimmy wants a bike and jenny wants a chemistry set and Daddy wants a ...." You know, it's all about what someone wants, whether you're focussed on getting them presents or making sure they know what you want. If nobody else buys you presents, you save up and buy yourself something at christmas, because it's christmas and everyone gets. We get food, we get clothes, we get toys, we get tools, so on and so forth, even those normally ignored as pests get treated as though they're entitled to something.
So what is the problem? All that giving is nice, sure. All those smiles are priceless, right? Well, yes, and no. We already know that the suicide and depression rates go crazy over christmas so it's clearly not producing more joy than the rest of the year, is it? What's more, do you think it counts as joy whenn an addict is pleased to be getting another hit of their drug? The smile on the junky's face as shee reaches for her cello pack of new drugs is not exactly the kind of joy you want, is it? Yet I suggest that this is parallel to the kind of joy that overeating toxic food and overindulging unearned possessions creates. It is a momentary thing, mostly built of expectation and built to such a fever it rarely delivers as expected. It teaches our children to seek joy in extreme events, in greed, in consumption.
What's more, i'm realizing that everyone gets more selfish in December. Dan's customers all want it done before christmas or else, and get extra pouty if he can't. Everyone gets all up in their heads about what they aren't getting or should be getting or might be getting, they get whinier and more assertive with everyone. Yeah, christmas is not what the TV wants you to think it is. I think it should be strictly for children and we grownups should learn to outgrow it.
