Something's been bothering me for a long time, it's something I see endemic in how the people I interact with talk about the world around them. To put it plainly: they hate it. And it's not just some tight-nit bunch, not some closed-off sector. Everywhere I seem to go, the people I meet feel this way.  

*sigh*
 
Now I'm no ancient, I've been on this world for only 18 years. Perhaps people have always been this way, uncompromisingly bitter and jaded in the context of their environment. But God... I hope not. I have to imagine that people used to take their surroundings for what they're worth and make the best of it, as opposed to this horribly stagnant view of the world. 
 
The idea for this blog post has been long in the making, originally it was supposed to simply be a rant about how tired I am about hearing people complain about planes. See, I live in the United States but am a citizen of Russia, so I travel a lot. Recently, since entering college, a lot of these trips have been by myself and the stuff I overhear is ridiculous. What constitutes an inconvenience worthy of note? Apparently something as petty as waiting 30 minutes extra. I know you people have places to go but New York isn't going anywhere, it won't care if you're 30 minutes late, it'll still be there when you arrive.   

 It reminded me of a youtube video I was shown years ago, which is where I got the title for this blog:

 
I love the world and I love people. Seriously, I do. I don't even consider myself an optimist, I consider myself a "your jaded ennui is doing fuck all"-ist. Is there something in our society today that's brought this about? Maybe the speed with which things are available to us has made patience a thing of the past? If so then that's really a tragedy, if that's how people want to roll then so be it. At least be fucking witty about it then. Cuz hearing about how shitty airline food is for the 100th time is getting me really close to killing myself. I'm sorry, your food doesn't taste good? Maybe the airline was too busy ensuring we remained airborne to bother with your fucking five star meal.

 
So what's up world? What's ailing you? Why the need to hate? I don't want to hear "it's just human nature" because I'm no alien. I like consoles and pcs. I like pc and mac. Maybe the trick is to just hate hating crap. Once you get into it, you might notice just how exhausting it is listening to all of the whine.
