i never knew how important this was to me, but turns out i pretty much cannot connect with someone in a friendship unless they at least on some level hate humanity as i do. i cannot stand blindly jolly people who are just happy about every element of their mundane, meaningless lives. it’s not that i’m bitter, my life is wonderful, but bottom line is these people will never understand me. in fact they kind of make me feel bad about myself and they make me look painfully negative to myself. nonetheless i have no intent to change myself, because i enjoy the way i view things, it works for me.
there’s 3 levels:
1. ignorance and bliss
2. knowing and being miserable
3. knowing everything and still being able to be happy
i am somewhere between 2 & 3, problem is, too many people are level 1.
