simple people everywhere vs. us

oh i am constantly judging myself and it is through this judgment that i am able to compare myself to others and deduce the thoughts that i have. People are like animals and there are only certain breeds of human that have become enlightened enough to become anything but.

"wit is only educated insolence"

simple people everywhere with us.

""No words""

xxxxchelseaxxxx,

It sounds to me like you are unhappy--look within--not around to solve your problem.

Simple people? Are we not all simple in our own ways?
I can fix a car, but not bake a cake.......and I have no desire to know why I can't bake a cake or learn to do so....I do not question it.......yes I am simple!

What is important to some people is not so important to others.
To claim that people around you are simple tells me two things:
1 you need to surround people who accept you for you--even if they don't agree with you--because they will respect you and with time you will learn from them and they you.
2 you need to question who gave you the right to deem people simple.......maybe you're simple to other people.

LIKE SALINGER MENTIONED, YOU DONT SEEM LIKE VERY HAPPY PERSON, AND YOUR SOPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THE "ENLIGHTENED" ONES? THERE IS "SIMPLE" PEOPLE EVERYWHERE THAT ARE HAPPY.

MAYBE YOU HAVE THOUGHTS BACKWARDS.

"\WHEN YOU CANGE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT THINGS THE THINGS YOU LOOK AT CHANGE"

they are happy because they are ignorant to anything but day to day life, and because they think of niothing but the present. yes i am an unhappy person sometimes but at other time i am not. Its not just whether or not the people are happy or can get A's in a class room or what not, its how they use there brain and there ability to comprehend things outisde of themself and there own little world all in their head that separates them.

People are not happy. That is a completely unfounded statement. If people were happy they would not subscribe to the social vices that plague western society: alcohol, cigarettes, television, perfume, clothes, makeup etc. There are a thousand different vices that earn billions of dollars a year proving that the "simple" people are constantly seeking an escape from the drudgery of their "simple" lives. Just because they state that they are happy, their actions proclaim that they are desperately seeking escape.

Why would you escape if you were happy?

the whole point of someone who is unhappy right now and accepts that is that they see the illogic in subscribing to the forms of escape "simple" people do. It is ridiculous to feel satisfied working 5 days a week then spending all your money on alcohol for the weekend. Yet this is the normal trend of things for millions of people. Even if it's not alcohol, it's television, church, or some other vice that helps them forget their own lives.

What if you dont want to forget? What if you want to live in complete knowledge of you rlife, your day to day activiteis, and be happy?

That seems simple, yet those who seek that seem "abnormal" and "complicated". The "simple" people are the most complicated people on the planet since they have no idea who they are when they look in the mirror. They identify themselves with the groups they belong to and the materialistic objects they posess... not the mind and soul within them.

"Who are you?" is a question 99% of the populace would cringe at.

"Hating everyone protects me from elitism."

the whole point about being a simple person is that they are not the ones that would stand in the mirror and wonder who they are. it is the people that have no desire to learn to grow from anything or about anything that are the simple people.

"wit is only educated insolence"

what of the people who constantly critisize and judge themselves to a seemingly unhealthy extent? where do they fall? how much introspectiveness is too much? is there such a thing?
