Default Shit-iness and Thick Skin

Default Shit-iness and Thick Skin


The typical response I hear when someone wrongs someone else in a significant manner is the cry of righteous indignation. "What? How dare he/she? I Can't believe he/she would do that! What a terrible person!" The response is a reaction to an offense against a persons moral code (which everyone has, whether is functions properly or not.)


These responses are usual, expected, because people have differing codes of moral conduct. Instead of crying out at the wrong someone has committed against my fellow human, my response is one of expectance. I'm not suprised he/she did that. In fact I was expecting something along those lines to happen. While people my not be inherently shitty, it is benificial to assume they are. Most people lose thier cool, and with it thier ability to think rationally when any affront to thier person is presented. Your expectance of shittiness will aid you in forming a thick skin (arguably one of the most useful tools in today's world). Of course it doesn't offend you, you were expecting it. Everyone takes offense to everything these days. Help the world be a better place. With your will, you can subtract one raving, ranting mind from the masses that constitute the raving clusterfuck/pissing contest we call modern media.
