Seeing as this is a very kind and friendly subreddit in many respects, I was wondering if y'alls have anything that just gets on your nerves; things that gnaw on your attempts to live a simple, peaceful and relaxing life? I try to live a harmonious life and just let things be as they are for the sake of my own mental well-being, but there are three things that truly gets my blood boiling. These are:
Cities. I absolutely hate cities. Having grown up on the countryside (and longing to get back there), but being forced to move to a city due to work, I have come to despise everything concering urbanville. They are noisy, filthy, crowded and violent. Everywhere I am attacked my commercials and consumer nonsense, nowhere can a man go for some peace and solitude without bumping into another person. Even green areas are just plastic-like and over-arranged. Sure, it is nice to have a convenience store around the corner, but it is a small comfort when I am constantly surrounded by the horrors of "progress".
Noise. Not only a part of city living, but in all other respects as well. I hate everything that is man made and noisy, including dishwashers, lawn mowers, traffic, airplanes, obnoxious music and all other forms of crap that attacks my personal sound-space. Just give me the sound of birds, a rushing creek and the soft wind blowing through young leaves, and I'll be a happy man. But nooo, let's put a ghetto blaster right here in this beautiful riverside and have a massive party involving alcohol and screamy people. Sigh.
Ignorance: You'd think that the information age would make people more enlightened, educated and just smarter about how the world works, right? Think again. Every single day, I meet people who still believe in superstition, old wives tales, and urban legends that were debunked fifty years ago. When confronted with facts, belief persverence immediately kicks in and nothing comes through. Goddamn, these things make me even more misanthropic than I already am.
Sadly, these things shows no sign of halting or slowing down. Instead, they just seem to accelerate as we become even deeper enslaved in the system. Oh well. I can't stop whats coming. I just hope I can escape in time.
