The World Disappoints Me..... Terribly

Ok, today kinda sucked.

It just had that suck smell all over it. My weekend had gone pretty well. Had my birthday celebration with the majority of my closest friends. Some killer folk couldn't make it but that's standard these days ain't it? The previous Friday had left me with some sour feelings but it was Friday after all so I easily shook that shit off.

One thing just led to another over the past three days which eventually caused me to form this opinion. Although temporary it might be, still completely valid.

People suck. They are stupid! No one tries anymore with even the most mundane of tasks. I'll give an example. The other day I went to meet a person I had never seen before. I had to meet them at their work.

No big deal, easy peasy right?

No, sorry, nothing is easy anymore. I was told to go to the front door and ask for reception.

Ok, I follow.

I walked in the front door and asked for my contact. The lady working reception gave me a look like I was an idiot. The receptionist continued to explain that the person I wanted was to be found at the front door around the side of the building.

Ok.... Ok.... Ok...., I'm trying to calm down, just a sec. Ok,...., I'm sure you caught that? Please tell me you did.

THE FRONT DOOR AT THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING!!!

Are you fucking kidding me?

So now, instantly, at least two people are complete fucking morons. The person who neglected to tell me there were multiple offices contained in a building I'd never been to before and the receptionist who thinks such a thing as a side-front door exists. No signage anywhere so directions is all I have to go with.

If you are giving directions you need to be specific right? No one on the planet would think that the front door means side door without further details.

I'm a detail oriented guy so if I was telling someone to come to my office space located in a larger complex housing many businesses I would mention, at least, our front door. Laziness has become accepted commonplace among humankind. That's bullshit.

Another example would have to be from my most recent experience with film. Harry Potter 6. Anyone who saw that movie should now know the end. I won't give it away. I don't need to. Its so fucking obvious. My problem is that this is the level of structure needed to fool the average citizen these days. Maybe its North America, maybe its television. Whatever the cause people are getting dumber and they are proud of it to the point of defending it as a life style.

Don't get me wrong. I don't think I'm better than people and I have great confidence in the capability of humans, in their potential, but I have been bombarded lately by things like "Why you gotta think so much man? Can't you just enjoy it?

No I fucking can't!!! This is wrong. We are headed in the wrong direction here people. The idea is to evolve, not regress. Until we get it through our heads that we are making ourselves dumber and dumber by accepting garbage as gospel we are doomed to climb back into the trees and flinging crap at each other. Hey, we're pretty close now aren't we.

Push intelligence, not complacency. We are never complete. There will always be room for improvement.
