I've always been an angel to the educated and an enemy of the ignorant, since childhood..

When you see things clearer than others: You can accept that they laugh at you for seeing things clearly, or you can start pretending that you don’t see, and take it from there. Two good choices.

They don't laugh, they cackle. They can't actually laugh.<br><br>It takes a free man to laugh, and laughter to set a man free...

I’m really not a part of that crowd. Im usually the one who looks foolish at high school. It’s really sad and much of weight to carry, since the awareness is so loud, so far, too much.

I lost half my friends for being to aware or caring of "things" real people don't care about, and being hard to deal with. They tried to fix me by getting me a real job, a pump n dump woman and group shaming for being weird. I hard refused since i am on my own path of building from the ground up a small business and I am self teaching in a significant amount of subjects. Last time we talked was an ultimatum for me to "just be normal!"... i am a late diagnosed AuDHD, all trying to be normal brought me is severe depression and a ... early log-out. So i cut ties without explanation.<br><br>Very insightful video essay, I'll add beyond good & evil to my read list

People constantly look at me as if I were from another planet. I've gotten so used to it that I've started to believe I'm truly not from this world, and I'm fine with that. I see what others don't, I don't get involved in unnecessary discussions that lead nowhere, and I silence those who want to harm me to boost their self-esteem. I can't be harmed, and I value peace. Yes, I am from another planet, and I came here to show how people destroy themselves, and not just themselves.and I only exist here, nothing more.<br>❤ Be safe people 🙏🍀

I've told my boss he doesn't understand how a technical process works and he should come in the work area to get a better understanding of the process.<br><br>He decided to take it personally and argue.<br><br>That was the last time I offered him any advice on getting better at his job. From then on, I have been leading him astray on purpose. Telling him that every dumb idea he has is a genuine lightbulb and he should run with it. He is more panicky now and points fingers at people for his failures.<br><br>I'm having fun at work now.

I learned it in Kirchnerist era, here in Argentina.<br>You try to explain them but the only you find is enemies.<br>You fight your own family, you loose your friends and so on.<br>When the croud DOES NOT want to listen you are LOOSING your time, your mind, and every one around you.

An Apt video.<br><br>Yesterday I went to a local park and laid on the grass with my shirt off, to feel the energy from the grass and the air and sun on my skin.<br><br>The intention to mind my business, but I knew I would draw attention, not that I wanted to, but as everyone was sticking to the path around.<br><br>Of course a couple of youths though it was hilarious. But I gave them no attention.<br><br>To say I am unaffected is not true. Modern society has enabled bullying and made people fearful. Be it of phony pandemics, or afraid to see the planes in the sky, spraying to block out the sun.<br><br> And the message to certain groups is "Be bullies. You will get away with it".<br><br>But feeling the grass on my back feels right. Feeling the sun on my bare chest feels right.<br><br>The techniques of Edward Bernays, Sigmund Freund's nephew create delusions in people heads, and have turned people into having inverted desires.<br><br>There is fear that I shall be destroyed by delusional people. But I have to be brave to live my life for the small pleasures. That is all I have in my life.

The crowd laughs at you because if they don't laugh. Then they will have to cry. And if you make to many people cry from you telling them the truth. They will kill you for it.

We look like fools to people who have trouble walking and chewing gum. Doesn’t bother me in the slightest what people think about me
