I wonder what goes inside the mind...
I find it funny how people put others down to make them feel better about themselves. Some are just minding their own business, having fun with friends, when suddenly a rude comment comes up or someone bumps into someone. Things like this can end in fights, and usually those haven't a good end.

It confuses me how those who hurt others find joy or satisfaction in putting others down, and even in their eyes it doesn't seem to make sense. Maybe it has to do with the lack of fairness, maybe not. It's human nature to want things fair, I guess, so when something happens, we want revenge. We want the person to get what we get, except sometimes our anger makes it uneven anyway.

Some folks just don't understand that this isn't some game, story, or anime, where the main focus is on one person's life, or they just don't realize they don't know. Toddlers and younger children get by because they "don't know anybetter," but maybe we should start teaching our children early, perhaps before the sharing thing becomes an issue.

There are some jerks out there who live just to hurt others and lower their self-esteem. They just need to be ignored or taught their lesson somehow, whatever it may be.

A theory is jealousy. The world isn't fair. We know that, but we don't want it to be; that's where we get jealous. Cindy has a fetish for a DBZ character, and she makes it public (even if it's just a little mention). Suzy comes along and drops a rather rude comment out of the blue. Cindy doesn't know why. Perhaps it is because Suzy is jealous. She sees Cindy happy wherever she is (online or off), and she somehow isn't, so Suzy wants to make Cindy as unhappy as she is.

Another thought is how we see our own opinions. We have our own ideas about how humans should be. We're above animals, just because we're a bit smarter than them. We absolutely need fancy clothes and make-up just to survive. What makes us think this way? Are we taking the basic things for granted? It may seem so.

What I also think is funny is how there's a stepladder for our lives. "At this age, we need to...", "We have to act this way at...", and "You can't do this because..." are all examples of it. We're officially adults at age 21. At age 16, we're expected to act like them. 11 and up is just practicing. So, we have about six years to be kids, to be the innocent, care-free people we all once used to be? Life seems a bit rushed when you look at it that way. I'm fifteen, my father relates me to a nine year-old, and I'm proud.

You can say I'm immature. I probably am, if you're comparing me to yourself or someone you know whom I act like. Humans in general don't understand that we're all different, even if a lot of us can say it. We have different diseases, different times of growth of the body and mind, different skin colors, different ideas, and different likes/dislikes. You can't be scared off if someone has a rather ugly disability, or if their face is riddled with acne. We all get acne, and there's something wrong with all of us, weather we see it or not.

People should learn to live the right happy way. Learn to live with problems and deal with them without harming others. Don't take your life for granted; it may lead to a bad even that'll destroy you.

I may not be the smartest person, the thinnest, the best at drawing or spelling, the nicest, the most loyal, or whatever, but I can be a pretty decent friend if you open up to me and shut your rude side off. I'd welcome friends at anytime, but if you're here just to downgrade me to feel better, it's not going to work. I have lots of friends already, and they're more than willing to back me up. My friends wouldn't want me sad, so I won't be for them.

I'm strong-willed and loyal to my buddies. I stick up for them when they need it and provide comfort for when they're down. I listen to them when they need to vent their emotions, and they listen to me back.

Claiming Goku as yours is just what I was talking about. People who do this are just like those bullies who think it is funny when people get mad and do stupid things. I shake my head at you folks who do that to me. My affections are fun (and true), and if you take it seriously, that's, well, assuming things. I do know Goku isn't real, nor are any other characters from movies or cartoons or comic books, unless they're based on someone real like Jackie Chan; even then it'd be near impossible to actually have a relationship with them.

I'm not going to get mad. I'm not going to fight. Think what you want, imagine what you want, say what you want, but I'll just shrug it off. Fighting is not my forte, making friends is.
