Who Cares?

There is nothing at all wrong with getting upset once in a while.
It’s a healthy thing.
An EXPRESSION of anger or frustration is an EXPULSION of anger and frustration.
That means you can actually get rid of it all on your own.
It will actually make you feel better after it’s done.
And anger and frustration should never be allowed to fester.
It is not a personal attack on anyone – unless you direct a diatribe at one person or group in particular.
If you intend to ‘wage war’ on a person or group because something they said upset you – did not hurt you, but only upset you – then yes, it is a bad thing.
But in general, an expression of anger is not a bad thing.
If something I say or write causes you to feel uncomfortable, so what?
Who cares?
If something I say or write does not align with your ‘happy place’, so what?
Who cares?
Feeling uncomfortable over something you read or hear ONLY means that you have run into something that is foreign to your own safe, little world.
It’s a feeling we have so we can deal with it and grow from it.
That’s why we feel agitations throughout our lives.
The world is not a perpetually happy, safe and serene place, and it never will be.
It in no way means that the rest of the world must stop spinning to make you feel better just to accommodate your own personal sense of comfort and safety.
If I say that I could give a rat’s ass less what your personal feelings are on a certain matter,
that does NOT make me intolerant.
It makes me indifferent.
I just don’t care.
And why should I?
I really don’t give a rat’s ass.
I have enough to be concerned about in my own life.
I don’t need anyone else’s personal feelings as excess baggage.
No one does.
No one should ever be subjected to such a thing.
But more importantly, I am NOT obliged to worry about YOUR feelings before my own.
The absolute worst part of the past four years has been the organized, incessant push and attempt to make everyone feel good at the same time by forcing the many to conform for the sake of the feelings of the few.
Yes, the FEW.
I am sick to death of hearing, “I don’t like what you said and that triggers me so stop or my feelings will be hurt!”
WHO CARES?
Your feelings get hurt?
WHO CARES?
The world as a whole does not recognize your doctrine as the ONLY way to live?
WHO CARES?
Someone else’s view should never be blamed as a ‘trigger’.
The only ‘trigger’ is that you no longer feel ‘special’ after hearing it.
So you’re not the very special person you want to believe you are?
You know what?
WHO CARES?
No one on this planet is any more ‘special’ than anyone else.
No one on this planet is deserving of such a grandiose and preferential treatment.
If you believe that you are so deserving and you believe that there are people that sit above all others, that’s fine for YOU, but NEVER believe that your belief in such things automatically obligates everyone else to conform to them.
You don’t like that?
You know what?
WHO CARES?
Who cares?
No one.
Live your OWN life however you see fit. I don’t have to agree with how you live or what you believe, and you know what? No one should care. I certainly don’t.
I’ll be just as content in my OWN world.
But the difference is that I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK OR HOW YOU LIVE because that is YOUR own choice and prerogative, not mine.
If you don’t like me or what I say or what I write, then just go away and leave me alone.
No one has any right or sacred obligation to sway my sensibilities into what THEY believe they should be.
I am not a conformist.
I am not now, nor will I ever be content with everyone everywhere thinking and feeling and living the exact same way.
There is a word for that philosophy of world order…and it not a pretty word.
I find it interesting that if I have a blow up about something that truly upsets me – especially if I say something that someone somewhere on this planet might find offensive, the first thing I hear is, “You can’t say that! It’s not nice! You have to consider the feelings of others!”
You know what?
Who cares?
It’s funny that there is no longer any thought to me – the person in front of them that is actually upset – but all concerns are in support of some unknown person, somewhere on the planet that might be offended. Or triggered.
It is healthy for me to have a blow up now and then, just as it is for EVERYONE on this planet.
It’s a release of penned-up frustrations and you know what?
IT NEVER EXTENDS BEYOND ME.
Never once.
It’s nothing more than a release of tension and anger and frustration.
Nothing more.
Maybe one of the reasons there’s so much tension these days is the absolute refusal to show any form of expression for fear of offending someone somewhere.
Not everyone will like or agree with everything you say and do.
And you know what?
WHO CARES?
