Feel the Drama
Feel the Drama
The sickest kind of impulse that drives people is the one that thrives on misery. No matter how hard you try to tell me otherwise there has always been a time in your life when you have taken private joy at the expense of someone else. It doesn’t even have to be someone you hate either but we see it imbedded in every facet of human interaction. The humiliation you inflict doesn’t have to be public either, all it takes is one smart assed comment to your little group of peers to set the ball in motion for more abuse to be stacked on the helpless individual. The internet has offered an umprecidented amount of anonymity and thus has emboldened people who thrive on chaos in all online communities the world over.
You can look here on mybloggers to see that what I’m saying is true. All it takes is someone to post some heavy drama about anyone else, especially other people on mybloggers and your blog is getting 5 times the number of hits that it would of. Sure being nicey nice gets you somewhere in a community like this one but all it really will do is draw the ire of someone who has decided that they are certainly not going to be nice to get you into the same cycle of self defeating dramatics. I do it ALL the time.
I suppose that the point that I’m getting at here is that there isn’t anyone who is above getting their balls busted. Sure you can say that “That was uncalled for.†Or “You shouldn’t have been so hard on but the fact of the matter is that getting humbled once in awhile keeps a person at a place where other people can deal with them. So far as I can tell the only way to avoid this fate is to abandon humanity entirely to pursue being something else. We already know how most of you feel about people like that.
