he scratched
his head
Why would anyone submit to social stigmas decreed or prescribed or aligned
by social mediaWhy would they submit to a gang of anonymous pricks and cunts whod rather tell others
what they should do than do themselves
a bunch of
fingerpointers
Why would anyone allow themselves be governed by social medias expectations
or desiresWhy would anyone seek to belong to such a motley crewe amaulgameationWhy
would they submit or suffer its ridicule and bullying
no sooner
than he askes himself his hard-to-raise compassionate self whispers he has to appreciate all people are different they have been raised
in different inˈvīrənz educated in varying degreesDont underestimate your entitlement it
whispers and
he whispers back But arent we responsible for believing in ourselves believing
that we are worthwhile
he had been reading and mediating
on Michel de Montaignes 16th Century essay On Repentance: “Do
not rely on their opinion, therefore rely on your own. (quoting Cicero) ‘You
must use your own judgment about yourself: The inner conscience of virtue and
vice exercise a great influence; take that away, and all is in ruin.’ There is
no man(or woman) who, if he listens to himself, does not discover within him an
individual principle, a ruling principle . .”
if de Montaigne
realised that nearly half a millennium ago(Millennials) why prefer the awful dicktates
and discriminations and shame lobbed from the flatscreen of electronic devises
he has always
maintained that he wouldnt have anything to do with any organisation or persons
that he couldnt get his hands around their throats(and people laugh)
it is recent American
practise to slip accountability
but that is
harder to do when someone has you by the throat
