WARNING! WARNING! Ranting post.

The following is a rant from yours truly to anyone out there who feels the same way.

Why is it that when we are most in need of the right words to say, or any words at all, that we just lose them right then and there? Our minds go blank. It's like our brain is afraid to help us during our time of most need. And we just sit and stare, blankly, trying to search for the right things to say, or the best reaction, and all we get is silence. Nothing comes out. Nothing. And then we find ourselves losing the battles we crave to win. When confronted by someone who's only goal is to bombard our sense of self confidence, or to break us down, we just stand there and take it. No answering back, no defending ourselves. Nothing. We just sit there and take it. Why? We do we become so afraid to fight back when we know we are being hurt and damaged inside? Why do we stay silent when we see that we are being sabotaged? Fright? Perhaps....Cowardice? Holding a certain level of respect for that other person that should not be crossed? All fantastically real and valid reasons not to fight back, BUT all unfortunate. For us who think differently, and are not like the rest, must we really keep our feelings to ourselves while our compatriots are drowning us in their feelings and philosophies that we might not agree with? So they can talk and talk and talk about what they think and feel, but we, with opposing, different, or out-of-the-box ideals, must stay silent?? No. I think not. I completely disagree with the fact that being different or having different thoughts from someone merits them to be silenced. I'm just so sick of being silenced. Since when did having to criticize people, and saying all these negative and hurtful things about people ever become the popular way to act? Since when did putting others down and making hurtful generalizations and comments about others behind their backs ever become right?? If you have negative thoughts, people, keep them to yourself, don't spread hate around the world, or distaste around, because you know what, NOBOY WANTS TO HEAR IT. NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR YOU. Keep it to yourself, rant about it in your blog, on paper, whatever, but you don't need to say offensive things out loud to people who might not necessarily share your glorious opinion.
