Scuttling and Scurrying
To the Mundanes I see all around me.
I see you all.
I watch you as you scuttle to work, and scuttle back and forth to lunch and back to work, and scurry back home or down to the pub.
I observe you as you scurry directly home from work, straight to work from home; and I watch the worst of you as you get out of the house in the morning to stumble onto the bus and, once you arrive in town, lurch straight into the JD Wetherspoons to begin the day's hard drinking regimen that has become the sole focus of your lives.
I see you chasing the pounds, chasing your own tails, chasing after oblivion.
I see it all, and I can hear the voices inside your heads.
I hear them all, screaming.
I am not surprised. If I lived a life as pitiful as this, I'd be screaming, too.

My impression of you has changed considerably since I first friended you; this and entries very much like it have seen to that. The impression that I've formed of you is that while you are a creative, funny, and often kind person, you can also be dismayingly entitled, judgmental, and bitter, and I'm not sure if these are tendencies you've been able to observe in yourself or not. The only thing you could do to convince me otherwise is not to tell me that you are not exhibiting judgmental behavior, but to not be judgmental in the first place.
If you truly don't believe that you are being judgmental, or if you truly feel that your judgment of people whose lives and thoughts you don't know is justified...well, that's your right, and I don't begrudge you your own space in which to voice your honest thoughts. But it upsets and saddens me, and it's not something I wish to read on my friendslist.
