Of Social Animals and Human Outcasts

Disclaimer: This entry might be offensive to some people.

Ok, I am having a fever, I am delerious. The last post, well, ignore that one. This one is so much more silly.

People are willing to do anything for acceptance and social status. They take on hellish jobs just to be able to flaunt it among peers and be admired. They purchase manors, to be able to boast it among their circle of friends. They push down their principles, suppress morals, fake feelings, put up with horrible things just to still have friends. And thus I ask why?

To what purpose is all the earthly hell, just to fake a relationship? Why put up pretensions among people who do not like you for you are and who you might not see in your death bed? Are we that desperate for a tiny charade of affection among people who do not like us? Man might be called social animals but it is shameful to degrade yourself to the status of a lowly animal just for social respect. And thus even if you feel like an outcast, I treasure your existence far more than I treasure the social animal in the center of popularity.

Who are your people to ask of you to adapt yourself to them? Be your own man. You'll be less tired and worn from the work of pretension and acting. You will also be less ridiculed behind your back by people as no one really likes pretenders or attention-seekers. Everyone is secretly ridiculed or gossiped of but the difference is for social outcasts, you know while for popular animals it is clandestine. From this observation, is it not better to be an outcast and know your enemies than to be popular and pathetically entertain your actual, secret enemies who are inwardly amused of your foolish efforts to appease them?

Sure, it would be tiring work being in solitude a lot but well, you'll find someone who cares for you. Feeling lonely in solitude is infinitely better than feeling lonely in a crowd. And in the end, you won't regret sticking to your own identity to find the real and faithful people.

For that I admire social outcasts, honest people, rude fellows and such people. They do not compromise themselves to be able to have a relationship but seek out people who accept them for their true self. There is no trouble, no lies and no hassles. Just honesty and affection, the fundamental foundation of social interaction. If you find yourself without friends, well, do not feel sad or depressed. I mean, its people's loss to lose the chance of knowing you.
Unless that is if you are a really horrible person. (Be amused or feel pity...here)
