Society makes it a priority to embed itself into the youth through the school system, through television, through the popular media. Shaping perception, establishing a conflation between ‘need’ and ‘want.’ Ensuring you and I spend our entire lives trying to keep up with the Jones.
The trouble is, if you drop out of the race, because you realize there’s no point in it, you begin to hate yourself. You hate your body. You hate your voice. You hate your face. You hate the things about you that are different than the Jones.
Fuck the goddamn Jones.
And fuck society.
You are society.
The Jones should be keeping up with you.

Do you have a PhD? This is really smart stuff.
Yeah, I got a PhD in cynicology.
I wish you’d post more stuff like this.
What are “The Jones”?
They’re the neighbors whose lawn is half an inch shorter than yours.
I don’t understand; is this a good thing?

It must be burned out with fire, like ulcers on corn crops.
The quest for the grail is not archeology, it’s a race against evil. If it is captured by the Nazis the armies of darkness will march all over the face of the earth. Do you understand me?
I’ve gone and caught a sniffle
Stop, wait, stop! Stop! You’re going the wrong way. We have to get to Berlin.
who drinks the water I shall give him, says the Lord, will have a spring inside him welling up for eternal life

@orange I see your phd in cynicology and I raise you as a professor of indifference specialising in contempt. And well.. Ugh I wager the jones can’t keep up with you so it’s easier to make you feel bad About it. Good on you for not playing their game
