=D Haters: A funny little rant.
Sep. 30th, 2008 02:15 pmSo, the other day (Saturday, actually) I was at the usual joint, getting ready to jump into the gaming session, where I learn something interesting. Apparently, for no damn reason at all, a member of the group absolutely hates my guts.
At first I was offended, and insulted. Then, as a few days went by, I reacted to the thought with: Ah-ha! Fricken hater. =D
It’s been happening to me a lot lately. A similar situation is what got me to move so fast out of my old best friend’s house (I’m pretty sure she doesn’t much care for me anymore either, but I won’t trip off of it. It’s old news, and angsting won’t get me anywhere). But it got me to thinking, Man, there are a lot of random haters out there lately.
The point is, there are indeed a lot of them out there. And I won’t deny that at one point I was one of those people that had to find some reason to not like someone, even if there was no damn reason for it.
There, I admitted it: I am a former player-hater. =D
But, unlike my random haters that are in fact out there, I found that there really is no pleasure in just not liking someone because they are who they are. The little idiosyncrasies that people have are what make them, them. One of mine that I have had to dial back (big time!) is the fact that I am a bit (read: a huge!) hedonist. Someone might not like that. I don’t give a damn. If I have something that I enjoy—vapor, some tea, food, the delicious silky sound of some ambient music—I’m going to enjoy it with all of its muscle-melting delight.
Any haters out there got a problem with that?
