0 And we all have a duty to our country

So sometimes I don't like people. At all. And people are like that. We don't like people. Though that may stem from personal pet peeves, a lot of it comes from society ignoring its civil duty not to be a douchebag.

Now you may be thinking, "Syd, why do you think you can dictate how someone thinks?" And you're right, I can't. If you want to think evil, dark thoughts, go for it. The issue is when you express your thoughts and in the process hurt someone else. You can think whatever you want as beautiful. You can think whatever as not beautiful. The problem starts when you make someone else feel ugly.

And that's what's wrong with the world a lot of the time these days. People try and succeed at making others feel ugly because they don't exactly meet their idea of beautiful. And that's crap. Utter crap.

Civic duties are duties you have to the world and society around you. That's like waiting your turn at stop signs, moving along quickly in lines, being ready at the airport and the like. This also extends to being polite when being served and actually trying to be a good worker. There are some things that I'm really picky about (don't get me started about gum and food in general) but everyone can agree that it all boils down to not being a jerkface.

A lot of the issues come from people being selfish or rude or impolite. You don't have to care about each other but it's not your job to make life worse. Everything would be better if people just was neutral to each other at the very least.

Now you may also be asking, "Syd, why should I be nice to people?" Well for one, I don't mean nice. I mean decent. And why shouldn't you be decent? You don't know these people, why would you have any emotion towards them? Since you don't have a history with them, then you should be neutral. You should be neutral and try to make lines move as fast as possible. You should be neutral and wait your turn at the stop sign. You should be neutral and not be a douchebag.

A reason people are douchebags is because they're sure that others will be douchebags so they as well be one first. And this logic is flawed. It's a continuous destructive circle that is false. This is like pedaling backwards just to be going somewhere. Really, you should assume they are as be in return. This way, the wheels spin forward.
