It's Wednesday, and I'm in Devon...

Okay, not quite as catchy as some titles, but hey look at the material I have to work with here...

Didn't sleep well last night- still feeling fairly shitty. Still got some good thinking in, as always. Not about anything of note, just generic thinking on reality, perception, the usual sort of thing.

So, today's thoughtful bit:

I sometimes despair of the human race- every day I see people not thinking about anyone other than themselves, or just not thinking. I mean, if people just took a little time to think about the effect their actions, then surely the world would be a better place.

But the prevelant attitude seems to be, "Well, it benefits me, so it's okay".

*sigh*

That's not indicative of a "strange" nature at all, because that's the attitude the majority of people takes: 'the human race/people from Manchester/blacks piss me off but I like my friends'. Show me someone who doesn't take that attitude, and I'll show you either a saint or a complete fiend. It's the strength of your revulsion for those not part of your circle of friends that puzzles me, not the fact that you distinguish between having friends and enemies. We all do that; we're all capable of overcoming prejudice when it benefits us socially to do so!

I dislike wasted potential.

So what, you're going to "despair" and cease giving these people any credit for having potential? I know you don't think like that all the time though, because you said so; which is good. I don't think there's a person alive who likes wasted potential. The hard thing is judging whether or not the person has wasted their potential.

Hardly. But this journal is one of the places I prefer to vent in- it means I can get it out of my system and get on with things.

Sure, it's your journal.
