Our society loathes us.
And within us, this virus reproduces itself in the form of self-loathing.
Our society victimizes us, and then punishes us for being victim.
You are responsible for being raped and denied a cleansed psychology.
Our society is transcendental in religion and spirit - "Fuck this place," it says, "and fuck You along with it."
Anywhere but Here and Now - Anywhere but heaven, love, righteousness, and a place of whiteness is obscene.
Fuck Here, with it's gray multiplicity and confusing relativism. And Fuck You for not being 2D, and for shifting with every hormone rafting by.
Our society believes in tragedy as the source of inspiration. It tortures us with the hope that the dissatisfied will make things better - innovation via disgust. This is the American way.
"My family is sad and poor and malnourished, therefore...," it believes...
"Have worked so hard and having been trained to only do one simple task for my entire life, I have nothing else to live for. Therefore I look for it in others. Codependency and abuse of those I love is the locale of my momentary salvation."
We are to blame for blaming ourselves. We are to blame for not blaming ourselves.
Stop and breathe and misunderstand your reality, understanding that it's only your own, and not mine or hers, but that we share this self-loathing together.
I haven't an answer.
