    The obsession with what other people do with their lives. I like to be left alone, mind my own business, not bother others. But there seems to be some part of the population that is the opposite and just can’t help but poke and pry at others.

      Its because there are some that believe that their freedom does not encroach on the freedoms of other, and need a polite reminder that their actions have consequences, and that we’re all part of a larger whole, no matter how much we pretend otherwise.

    There are people that destroy things with no benefit to themselves or do things that hurt themselves just because it hurt who they consider to be “the right people.”

    Why do so many folks carry so much hatred inside… it’s so self-destructive and detrimental to society.

      Prison sex. Not literally that’s just a song by Tool, but basically someone hurt me so I’m gonna hurt you.

      They aren’t bright enough to figure out that just continues the cycle.

      Harm done to them by other people, and justifiably and rationally looking for answers to how/why/what/where/when/who, so they can make the harm less likely to be repeated in the future by altering their behavior appropriately.

      With special emphasis on the “who”, because it’s easier, when they should be focusing on the “how” and “why”. The “why” part is the most important, but also hardest to tackle.

        Right on the money. Psychologically, the best defense is a good offense. Socially, it’s not the best choice for building communities.

    The way we destroy everything in the long term for short term gains. If our goal is to not die out, we are doing it wrong. Its like we’re speed running extinction.

    One of the many myriad things I don’t understand is why humans don’t think of themselves as organisms. Like they know they can train dogs to do things with positive reinforcement but don’t think other people do that to them. Or if someone did it’s some kind of insult.

      At least in the West,. Christianity played a part in that.

      Things like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy have been changing that though

    I was thinking last night how weird it is that we can suspend disbelief while watching a movie. Like, we see Tom Cruise on screen and know he’s the most famous person in the world and we saw him alive on TV today, yet we get worried that he’s gonna die in a ten year old movie?

    Why do people tap their breaks in the left lane when passing someone slower on the right?

    Please stop. Tap your breaks if you’re signaling something going on in front, or if you need to slow down faster than just taking your foot off the gas will slow you.

      Why are you braking?! I find myself asking that out loud at the driver in front of me too many times. Sometimes I see drivers in other lanes doing it too. It’s as if they were driving a runaway vehicle that accelerates on its own.
