The trashcan (blog), has been strangely (yet stupidly understandbly) empty for a reasonable amount of time. Well, at least thats what it seems to me. Of course, a lack of posts does not equate to me actually spending more time getting my mind to agree with the world's necessity and attending its flow (studying and then competeting) while trying to keep my scope within the right motives.

No one really cares about that anyway.

So, today, I decided to break apart the idea of hatred and the expressions that people practise when they encounter their perceived 'asshole'.

Hatred as in discrimination, as in name-calling. As in showing anger towards. Like any other emotion, humans don't give out the standard signals and react in a variety of ways that are something senseless and irrelevant to the emotion itself. In the case of anger, when scaled down to a primary effect level of expression, its output usually comes from sprouted vulgarities and tabooed words that give a mysterious aderline to the human. Something goes wrong for the dude and he does something wrong to comply with it. Apt enough.

Even for such expressions, different responses would result from different circumstance and 'spark-off's. For instance, 'damn it' would be more appopirate for situations when circumstances let you down. 'Shit' is more usually used in cases when you did something regretteble or when something bad happened in immediance or about to happen. 'You asshole' would be for certain people that are too damned good in something (jealousy factor) or that are too damn irritating (or attitude problem etc.) And so on. The vocabulary is however, not the usual kind as applied in normal languages. And the taboo factor would just make the word more fit for the situation. Say, stuff like 'shithead' and 'shit you' could be used as well. Whatever sounds catchy for the culture to feel up to.

Now, how does such expression result? Emperically, it roots from hatred. But of what sort? Using an example of people for the simplictity sake (everyone's saying that they hate everyone anyway), its because of the person's persona (ultimately) There are 2 kinds, the one that is not in control of the person, and the kind that is somewhat within his control. Let the above order be A and B (cause its late and I don't feel like naming it in a cheesy way)

A: -- Hatered and name calling for people in this region would mainly be termed 'discrimination'. Race, being fat etc. all fall into this catergory. As I had seen a man quote someone in a forum, "What a man laughs at tells you a lot about his character". Quite true, I would say. And now, equality is a goal for the human race. Idealistic? Perhaps. But 'A' dudes can't do really much to help themselves, except maybe not to actually act in a way that might give them more reason to feel the hatered. But ultimately, it is the fault of the normal person. "Mommy, tell them to stop the beating. I promise I won't be toothise anymore." -- this innocent and sourly saddening quote from Hotel Rwanda the movie shows pretty much the whole them reason for the need to stop this class system and discrimnate those who can't help themselves.

B: -- This one would be that the person himself is really like a 'asshole'. Many friends of mine have this to say about assholes (I.e. the top 'what i dislike in a personality' list: Arrogance with proud, explicit or implicit, speech and actions, self-centered, egocentric, hypocritical-- especially those who act noble, domineering -- control freaks, backstabbers/betryaers, pain-exaggeraters-- as in keep whining about the matter and making in big deal about it by constant talking about his/her suffering) etc.? Defintely. But that list should cover the top few. I guess that if one gets feedback that he/she is disliked in a certain way, get feedback and then try to change.

In both catergories, the A and B might be tortured under 'group hating' when everybody agrees that they don't like the person. This, in itself is what I would consider quite a bad punishment. Especially when A doesn't deserve it. When humans lack connections, and a place they can express themsevles in whatsoever medium, its going almost like going against their nature. I read about mental patients who are locked up into rooms and shunned by society, and they keep clinging onto the person thats nearest to them there, asking: "Do you love me? Would you be my friend?" Most react in pity. And some by shunning the guy totally and wanting to 'get the hell out'. But can no one actually treat them as 'normal' human beings?

Well. I guess I have gotten a bit preachy here. Heh.
But then, it wouldn't be wrong to say that love makes the world go round.

Love is powerful.
And Jesus loves you.

And those two lines above are probaly the only scraps that aren't trash in the trashcan.
