What Do You Despise?

[Trevor]

I despise ingrates. When my father was diagnosed with cancer and had maybe a year to live, he gave some of his best normal and power tools away to the neighbors. Everyone was very thankful except this prick who lived across the street. He was given a chop saw, a $200 ladder and a Dewalt drill. Not one week later this guy came over asking for more. I felt like slapping him silly.

I hate dishonesty. I'd rather someone tell me the truth. No matter how much it could hurt.

So I'm guessing that you aren't a big fan of politicians then.

I despise pie crust promises. Easily made easily broken.

On a less serious note, automatic toilets that flush before you are ready for them to. It's one of my biggest pet peeves.

But with regards to people, I am not fond of gaslighting behavior.

I despise loud, rude, arrogant people. The kind that go around thinking they’re hot honeysuckle and are happy to let everyone around them know about it.

I also despise people who have no compassion or empathy for others. We need a lot more kindness and understanding in this world.

Looking at yourself in the mirror while you're getting a haircut and John Travolta's chin nubbin.

After so many people I've met through the years, and knowing them and their experiences, I don't care for people who judge people on one thing while never taking a single step in their shoes

I despise large corporations, well, except for Walmart.

 

[Adamridge79]

Walmart is truly the melting pot of America

I despise government spying and government control over regular citizens.

 

[Adamridge79]

Then get rid of your phone...and buy alot of canned food...and live in the woods...or, move to..Iceland? I don't know anything about Iceland

 

[Finished]

Yep. Government is in almost everything now. But, it is going to continue to get worse.

 

[Adamridge79]

Eh...I don't have anything witty

 

[Adamridge79]

Random silence?

^This. I couldn't have said it better myself.

In particular I don't care for the kind of people who act this way, out of a sort of toadying, ass-kissing behavior - the "poor Republicans" mindset, of people who are down and out themselves, but trying to boost their self-esteem by picking on people just as bad off as they are, in a lame attempt to align with the "strong" side. It's gross.

But I'm trying to distance myself from worrying about this stuff, trying to just avoid it or say "whatever" to it instead of get all mad. If they want to look like fools, it's not my problem. Got to be more careful about getting worked up over essentially nonissues.

I'm sure there are things I despise; but, what I really don't like is being angry, possibly for almost any reason at all.

I'd much rather be assertive and persistent when required, and compassionate, understanding, and unmoved when people behave in upsetting ways.

I feel anger to be a most vile thing, that robs me of the joy and beauty in this world, and for the majority of my life, it has been a very small feature in my overall general experience...

If my understanding is correct, the mental state of anger, is one that shuts down cortical function, and reduces one's ability to think critically. It can be an overwhelming emotion.

Fear and anger seem to be quite inter-related...
