You know, small talk.

It is a taxing thing to have knowledge. This is why they say ignorance is bliss. Worse yet is struggling to get others on board, to choke down that "red pill". Nobody wants their little worlds shaken up by reality, the truth is like holy water to vampires. I used to be stressed out, frantically trying to expose things to people, people closest to me, and largely failed. Very stressful and of course I am looked upon as a disfigured goblin for it. But, those who have turned back to reality are now my closest of friends/family. I suggest you research the Milgram Experiments from the 1960's, basically proves what lengths people are willing to go to if an "Authority" figure compells them. It kind of opens up an understanding of the psychology of people who submit to the "state".
You try to help people and you get the middle finger for it. Typical.
It is, but once you realize people do it because of fear/anger/whatever, its alright. It is really not personal, a human reaction.
Personal or not, the outcome is the same though. I personally don't give a carp and move on from the weak and toxic.
Haha, totally. I just stop dwelling on it, I used to let it drag me down, but fuck it. I pretty much drop people if they are toxic like that.
Yeap. Let them drown in their own shit – there’s better things to do than having to scrub that shit off your hands.
I've read briefly about the Milgram experiments, but really would like to read more. Thanks as always for the thoughtful commentary.
Amazing landscape and views. Just hope. With regards to North Korea, I feel that Trump is making a mountain out of a mole hill, I just hope North Korea or the US will never have to use their nuke ever . It causes so much unnecessary death and suffering to innocent civilians.

Us government doing what they do best...being a bully. The thing is North Korea has a ton of missiles aimed at seoul and other south korean cities and if they would be attacked those will instantly launch misiles. The reason that North Korea was not invaded yet :D
