The truth is...

...that people can't tell and take the truth anymore.
Actually, it has gone so far as to people wanting to hear a lie.
How many times a day do you ask others, or hear others asking the queistion "How are you?"? Ehm. That is, in most cases, quite many times. Not that it's anything wrong about the question itself, but.. What is wrong is the way that it is asked. People who ask it do not, in most cases, want to know how the person in question really is. They just want to come in on a subject to talk about. So they ask that, and in 9/10 cases, they expect an answer like "I'm quite well, thank you. And you?". But the fact is that most people are not like that. They just answer it because it's expected from them. What's worse is I'm just like that myself. Just answering that question the way it's supposed to be answered. I'm not emo and cutting myself every single day, or anything, but at certain points, I really don't feel so good, but whatever the case, I still answer with "I'm fine, thank you".
I mean. I don't believe the person I'm talking too wants to hear me complein about how hard my life sucks, so I go with that swell white lie of mine. "I'm fine" MY ASS!
Well. Even if i would be fine, it's all really just the same. It's nothing wrong with neither the question or the answer. What is wrong is that it's a standard question and answer. It has no meaning. Just something you say, weather you mean it or not.

And that's only one single tiny part of it. Truth.. Well.. Truth isn't wanted in many aspects. We all complain about politicians not telling the truth, but... Do we REALLY want the truth from them?
"So, mr. prime minister, how do you plan on soloving the economic situation, now that the -insert currency here- gains strength?"
"Instead of caring even the least about the economic vaue of our of currency, we'll fucking drop the social health care crap that we've had for a long time now, and not only that, but we'll completly drop all the foundings to the police so that the burglars in this country can do whatever they want. Than before next election, I'll go out strong with "MORE HEALTH CARE TO THE PEOPLE" and "I'LL EMPLOY MORE POLICES IF YOU CHOSE ME!". Muahaha!"
Well. I don't believe people want to hear that. But that's more or less a slight exaggeration of what every single politician is saying. But what we all listens to is what we WANT to hear them saying, i.e:
"We'll not be worring about our currency. We should be worring about where all the taxes go today. We need to re-prioritice our economy, and thus, we'll be slightly cutting down on the over-paid police force and some other very big tax-burglars. Imagine how much money we all can gain on this! When things are better next year, we'll re-found the force so that there is no hope at all for the law-breakers out there" *put on the most trustworthy face here*
Now, isn't this what you all would like to hear?
Bah. Pathetic!

So, what could a little bit of honesty do good than? Isn't this where the darwinism has taken us, and thus, this must be the best, right?

Eh? No! This is not good, you stupid fucktards! It blows.
Let's take an example out of the everyday life:

Your sister is going out on a prom, and she has bought this glorious dress. She puts it on and than asks you, her sister/brother, what you think about it.
"So. How do I look?"
-- ERROR --
No matter how it looks, 90% (I actually believe this is an understatement) of the population would answer:
"Aww.. It's so cute! It looks really good on you!"
NO MATTER how they think it looks on that sister of theirs. They just answer that to not disappoint the stupid bitch, who probably wouldn't even be able to take a bit of criticism, anyway.
Now, let's say that it looks good. Than everything is all good.
But the problem starts when it doesn't. Let's say that the dress of hers is compareble to a plastic bag you use to bring the food back home from the store.
Now, we have a problem. She'll be the laughing stock of the day at that prom, not knowing why, completly comfident in her looking pretty, only because of you impaling her head with the idea that she falsly is. Poor stupid bitch-ass sister of yours.

Now, wouldn't it be better if you had actually told her the truth about the dress? That it does look like hell? Oki, she might get mad at you for saying it, or even misinterpret it to she looking ugly, and the dress fine. The thing is that she'll probably have another dress to wear, that looks better, and than it's all fine. Sure, she might not speak to you for a couple of weeks, but if that's the price to pay for her not ruining one of the biggest evenings of her life... so be it.

Honesty isn't something you should be afraid of. Be honest towards your fellow man. Even though it might hurt them sometimes, in the end, I believe that they'll be glad you are.

Hypocrits

Yes. I dislike them. They're annoying.

This is actualy an authentic story that you're about to read. This actually happened, and the fact is that you are probably the same.
This afternoon (I live in Europe, so you'll have to excuse my time zone), I went down to Burger King today for a quick sollution to my stomack problem (I was hungry, ok?). I placed myself in the line, which was quite long and patiently waited for my turn. I hear this seemingly married couple behind me talking about someone, and after a while, the man shouted "Marcus!", after which some 265pund (120kg) man in front of me turned around and looked over my shoulder at the people behind me.
Now, the man whispered something to his girl, and the next second i heard an "excuse me" followed by two people stepping ahead of me to talk to this Marcus-fellow in front of me.

I thought to myself
"Should I even bother being a jerk by telling them to place themselves at the back of the line, or what? Nah. I can let it slip. They only want to talk to that dude, and whatever. I really don't care about waiting another 2 minutes. It's not like I'm in a hurry or anything."

When it was their turn to order:
"Two dubble whopper plus-meals and a normal whopper cheese meal, please."
Remark: They were all clearly overweight, of which the woman looked like she weight even more than Marcus did...
"And drink?"
"We'll all have diet Coke, please."
What the fuck? What is up with that? Either all of them hate the taste of sugar, or they are not aware of the small fact that Aspartam, or neutrasweet, as the companies so nicely call it, destructs your brain... Sure, i know that you'll need to intake a crapload of it before it hurts you, but still. Because there is no way in hell that they CAN believe that the small loss of sugar you get from not drinking normal coke will make up for all the goodies their cool little hamburgers give them. No, sorry, it can be that way. Actually, it's like that everywhere. "I'll have these 24 tasty Chicken Mc Nuggets, a dubble frensh fried potatoes and a DIET coke"... No comments!

Well what do you know? Five minutes later, i find myself sitting back-to-back with this Marcus fellow as I eat my delighful meal... Normal coke.
The next thing i know, the woman starts talking about weight loss:
[Ok. This has nothing to do with hypocracy (at least the first part of it), but I want to add this to show you how stupid people (like yourself) can be.]
"I've lost two pounds this last week"
Oh that must be so hard, concidering you'll only need to step up in the morning to do exercise.. Only CARRYING your weight must be an assload of exercise..
Marcus replies:
"Oh really? Did you try out some new trick?"
"Yea, my husband and I have started eating this new diet and it's great!"
Either that diet is "hamburgers only", or you guys got the meaning of "diet" wrong.
The husband takes over:
"Yea, it concists of cod (a fish) and vegetables only."
Oh, that's just great. As you live in sweden, that cod is probably cought in the baltic sea, which mean that you two will die from heavy metal toxicity in about 4 years. Good call! Did i forget that you're only able to gain 4/8 of the vital b-vitamins from fish, of which 3 of those can be found in cod. That just shortened your lifespand aprox 2 more years.
Blablabla. No more fun until 5 minutes later.

By this time, i had actually started eating more slowly as I was getting interested in the conversation (yea, i know.. im such an evil man evesdropping on people at a fast food restaurant). Now, they changed topic (after seeing a person asking to get ahead in the line due to him having an important meeting to attend), which i was quite amused they'd mention . Must be some cool once-in-a-lifetime thing for me to hear two people talking about this after what had happened 6-7 minutes earlier.

Man: "Oh my god! I can't believe he just did that! He just used that as an excuse to get ahead in the line! That's so un-moral."
Woman: "Yea. Those people should be shot in sight."
Marcus: "Well. There are real bastards in this world"

Now, is it just my memory being unclear, or didn't I write that down just now, that those guys went ahead of me in the line. I'm kinda unsure... -scrolls up to check- Nope, I did write it. And it is still there, so..
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD?!
Isn't there some kind of punishment to be awaited by people being able to run for the first prize in a stupidity-contest?

Well, i couldn't hold it any longer. I felt an urge for killing them all with one lightning strike (It's so satisfying making up imaginary images of being a Zeus-like figure killing everyone on the spot), so i eat up my all-to-expensive meal (yes, I'm a poor student) and took away the trash. Just before I was about to walk out, I leaned over their table and expressed my thoughts about them, by asking them what it was they did when they got ahead of me in the line. They were quite offended and expressed their defending point in a loud tune as i waled outside.

Now. What can you make of this?
Nothing. Except that this is reality. This is how the world is.
Every single gossip-paper has at least two "new! breakthru diet methods" written down in them, and not one of them are working if your goal is a longer life. On the other hand, if everything you want is to lose weight go ahead and try them. But than I surgest you do it an easier way and just starv yourself to death. It's a quicker road to both weight loss and death.. Must be a win-win situation for you.
And all these stupid dorks being hypocrits. I actually believe they are worse. I mean... To first walk ahead of someone in a line and than trash talk people who does it..... SEVEN minutes later!?
Wohoo! There's your winner in the idiocy-contest.
