crazy people

To be honest, I get attracted to people with strange personalities, and I’m not talking about geeks or nerds or optimistic-dickheads or even crazily-intelligent people, no, I’m talking about dark deep intellectuals who see life as I see it, a long dark tunnel where we have the opportunity to find our true selves and discover how great we can be despite our disappointing surrounding. In the process, I get head-to-head with empty people that scare the shit out of me. These people have brains almost as small as their self esteem, lacking good judgment, running in loops of self-search and darkness of ignorance and waste of time. This category of people is in fact a huge nation, and they are around us everywhere, they might be very clever, organized, optimistic, but they are empty like a used egg shell. If you are in the age of 20-25 and you still wonder who you are and feel that you are not standing on a solid ground in terms of personality, you are one of them.

But what is a “personality”, is it to look people in the eye and talk? Is it self respect? Is it to walk in to a room and hope that people will notice how confident asshole you are? For me, a personality is beyond the way we look, the way we speak, the way we move, its more closer to how we define things, and to what extent are we willing to go head-to-head with others and challenge their theories, and shake the ground of the “known” world to structure our own world, to influence not to get influenced and finally to form our own ideas. To be honest, I didn’t meet that “someone” who struck my as a strong personality with will-defined values and strategies, with a vision, and strong theories. To have a personality it doesn’t mean to be merciless or to jump on others heads to reach your top, it’s more how to go through a crowd to cross a highway, and then to assist the weak ones to cross it with you.

I’m not a perfect man, I never was, and I’ll never be because I truly believe that our flaws give us our taste. I have my bad habits, I like/hate them, and I try replacing them with something good if I could. When we try so hard to hide these flaws, to disguise our true selves in order to melt with the community, we lose our importance because we just look like everyone else. But what is a community? Isn’t it a group of people who live around each other, interact and judge everyone else? They are people in the end, with flaws, just like us, me and you. Don’t we get attracted to people who just think like us, like what we like and hate what we hate? We get attracted to people with flaws like our flaws, we get attracted to people with the same problems we have, and it makes us feel that we aren’t alone in this world. Hence like what I do with people when I organize them in to small categories in my head happens in real life where people fall in the same groups, and interact with people that have the same similarities. But isn’t that dull, to be with others who just think like you and act like you? Isn’t it more interesting to find someone who is 180 degrees different and see what can he/she add to you?

People are exactly like food. You eat, digest, get the good vitamins, and poop the rest. In life, you live, think, nourish your mind, and move along. Some people are like delicious pasta, you digest in a good time and get the good stuff out of it, and some people are like Indian food, you eat it and you poop it after 5 second. Smelly image I know, but it makes sense to me. 90% of people I meet are pasta, and the rest are … well you got the idea.

When we are in a bad mood, we feel that we have to feel better soon, because people don’t like to be with those with bad moods all the time. Why should it be this way, whey should we laugh in groups and cry individually? Why should we seek acceptance? What is wrong with living alone? How would it be if we decided to spend one single day out of the entire week alone, with the mobile shut, and no interaction whatsoever with any single human being we know? How would it feel to focus on our selves, do some self-maintenance and then go back to our crazy lives and resume our personal war? Starting this week, I’m doing that, don’t call me on Mondays!
