The ugliest, most disheartening phrase in the English language?

"I don't give a fuck!"

Every time I hear it, I wish I had a transporter beam that could send the utterer to the Andromeda galaxy.

Until people step up and quit waiting for someone else to fix things, it is going to suck.

Anyone who has a heart must feel the impact of what's going on.

And sometimes it's not much of anything beyond saying something is unimportant to you, I don't give a fuck about professional sports.

Not to mention that things might be better in Andromeda than here.

but I don't much care about fucking up things more by trying to fix up problems by fixes that create more problems than fix. Stopping to fuck our world up to get constant fixes for our fucking up addiction, ceasing from problem creation, seems more relaxed and wiser approach.



World is not just fuckable object, we're also much much else.

You don't give a fuck about people who don't give a fuck? Your solution to people who feel isolated and alone is to send them packing to another fucking galaxy? I guess that way, you won't have to pretend you care, eh?

Sorry, but you can take your self actualizing bullshit and pack it somewhere where sunlight is in short supply. When you actually understand despair and how depression works, get back to me. Meanwhile, people who actually suffer these feelings will work through them, and pop psych Tony Robbins pep talks will probably not be the prescribed remedy.

... about what it might be that has DRIVEN some people to feel that way?

I doubt it.

It is, after all, all about you.
