I feel so discouraged by the way people act right now.

[Darth_Kitten]

People in general either seem to piss me off or annoy me to no end. Don't people want a better world? Does everybody have to be either rude/crude/obnoxious/ignorant/whatever?

Where's the beauty and joy one CAN find in life?

1. Be the change you wish to create. Gandhi

[Darth_Kitten]

2. Yeah, right.

But I wish a helluva lot of other people would change.

[Deja Q]

4. Or, in other words, "life is what we make of it".

Good luck in telling people how to behave; that statement can be said by us all to everybody else...

And as long as you're wealthy, you can do what you want and get away with it as well.

Maybe we should all become wealthy; then none of our gripes will matter.

7. I just want to be around.......

people who want to change the world or make a difference, or what have you, and most of the people I see in my everyday life want to run people down, or just get through the day making the least possible effort. No drive, no purpose......let's just treat everybody like crap.

I feel so stuck.

[Deja Q]

12. So do I. And I want to get into chemistry and biology to work on global warming...

But it's cost prohibitive and my unique way of looking at things may bring about what most may not see.

There's so much we could do... but can't. And that alone drags people down as well. And it spreads.

[Deja Q]

3. I ask that same question daily. For children and adults alike.

Another brat with those stupid wheelie shoe things glides around, nearly trips on himself, never mind me not seeing him from the perpendicular intersection of the aisles. The store not a freeway and I shouldn't have to suffer for his stupidity that his parents indulged.

And I still love the folks who wander around in stores with their cell phones bumping into people, or one person (with or even without a child) hogging the entire aisle.

And I loved the Lexus SUV driver with a peace symbol bumper sticker; the way she was chattering on her cell phone while driving, she nearly cut my front bumper off. You know, peace is a two way street and she clearly doesn't want to do her part.

Still, maybe that's why everybody's building more jails these days? :shrug:

5. I've had a short fuse myself lately.

Must be something in the air....
I sure know that I'm the only one I can change, but
some days I just don't like ANYBODY!

[femmocrat]

6. Was there a specific incident that made you feel this way?

I really don't think "everybody" is "rude/crude/obnoxious/ignorant". Do you?

[Darth_Kitten]

10. Well, maybe not every last person on the planet.

;)

[Darth_Kitten]

14. nope, not me.

11. you are not paying attention to the right people

;-) Where's beauty and joy in life? Well, one place is


puppies

[marzipanni]

13. Well, that does it.

Our Border Collie mix Sally has been trying to hint to me all day, as I bump around cleaning, baking, etc., that she would like to go out to the back yard and catch her tennis ball for a few minutes.
Your sweet doggy faces looked at me from the screen just as she approached for one final invitation before it gets dark. OK, Sally, you win! Get your ball!

[bigwillq]

15. Aww...how cute!

:hi:

[hfojvt]

17. If I could only find a plastic surgeon

to give me a dog's head. I could be Anubis. Women would love it.
Guys too. I would be metro :hi:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

16. I know where it is! Ooh! Ooh! Pick me!

Me! Of all people! I know where happy is!

Olha que coisa mais linda,
Mais cheia de graça,
É ela menina, Que vem que passa
Num doce balanço, caminho do mar

Moça do corpo dourado,
Do sol de Ipanema,
O seu balançado é mais que um poema
É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar

Ah, porque estou tão sozinho
Ah, porque tudo é tão triste,
Ah, a beleza que existe
A beleza que não é só minha
Que também passa sozinha.

Ah, se ela soubesse,
Que quando ela passa,
O mundo sorrindo se enche de graça
E fica mais lindo,
Por causa do amor.

I can't believe what a gyp the English lyrics are as compared to that.

18. I dunno but ....

Thought you might get a kick out of this. Was working under the Camaro one fine day a couple of weeks ago and this cute as hell little kitten nuzzled my cheek as I wrestled with some wiring down there. Coal black fur with gray stripes. Really sweet. Well, he was really skinny and obviously a little skittish but he hung out for a little while so I got him a saucer of milk. One thing led to another and the little fellow now shares space with my other two cats and my two Great Danes and I have another mouth to feed (God help me).

My daughter named him .... ready for this ... Darth Kitten.
