You have timed it perfectly. You have walked the selfsame streets so many times before that you have memorized every piece of broken pavement; every crack in the concrete has been etched into your consciousness. You have intuition for each changing signal, and know how to pace yourself so that you always can maintain a green light. You know that it will take you precisely 13 minutes to reach the train station. You have committed the departure schedule to memory, so that you can avoid the crowds and catch the last train of the day.
Just as you are about to reach the halfway mark, a car slows and the driver asks you for directions. You wince because you realize that this type of personality just likes to talk. You know exactly how to reach his cross-town destination, but realize that explaining the route might take a quite a lengthy process. Time you don’t have. If you stop and help the fellow find his address, you will miss your train.
Now, a conformist might insist that you should have left earlier – just in case you might happen upon some poor sap in need of your assistance. But only a fool would want to spend a minute more in the sticky, slimy benches than bare minimum. You don’t want to waste any more of your existence around other people than absolutely necessary. Only an idiot would time something so badly that you end up waiting.
So you repeat the usual pretext in situations just like this. You tell the lost motorist the obvious excuse: you horridly shout to the driver that you don’t know. You say that you have no idea and just keep walking. You lie so that you can get to your own objective unimpeded. Being honest runs the risk that you might have to give lengthy apologies and even longer elucidations – and you can’t take the chance of such a delay.
In just this fashion, if you stop to help others in life, you will never reach your target. If you are kind to a stranger, you will find yourself stranded. Just as it is necessary to give some falsehood in order to keep to your timetable, it is absolutely vital to spread fabrications in order to keep on your own path in life.
Whenever other humans want something of you, things are never going to be to your advantage. The moment somebody asks a favor, you need to have a good lie at the ready. If someone speaks to you, it is always better to respond with some untruth no matter what they might happen to say.
No good deed goes unpunished.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason to stop and talk to strangers is if it's a drunk chick that is willing to suck your dick that night. Everything else is a waste of time if they aren't paying you. No one is under any obligation to interact with another stranger for any reason unless it's a fucking cop and even then you can sometimes get away with avoiding it.
ReplyDeleteI better be getting paid to deal with the general retard public and all the low iq polluting they do to my brain that takes even more time to deprocess after I come home. I literally waste even more time after work day is done just deprocessing the dumb bullshit I had to listen to all day. It's getting better the older I get because I'm getting better at tuning it out as useless information from a dumb primate.
How has your ability to block out retard shit from the retard masses been for you as you get older? Your blogs are straight gold and the truth no one wants to hear. I appreciate them. They are a breath of fresh air and sanity.
