I wasn’t 100% certain about publishing today’s comic at first, because I just know too many people that it would apply to. But certain exchanges and interactions I had during the week sort of “pushed me over the edge”, and I decided to go ahead with it.
There’s a lot I could say, about what I like, how I live and what I am. I guess nobody like to feel like they’re being judged, but then again we’re all judging somebody else. So I don’t ask people not to judge me – I just ask that they be aware that I’m judging them back.
Works for me.
However, I suppose that for the sake of clarity I should explain:
1- There’s nothing wrong with an occasional party, a drink here or there and going wild every now and then. But what I’m referring to here is people that absolutely need every weekend to be a balls-out crazy party, and they’ll feel bad if maybe they have to spend a low key night at home. If you need every weekend to erase your week, maybe there’s something wrong with your week?
2- Concerning the desire to travel, again, there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a trip and going to new places. What I’m talking about here is people that want to do nothing else but travel, and think that there is no greater accomplishment in life than to do so. Unfortunately, this is not helped by the numerous lists and articles we see online, practically every day, that state travelling is the best thing you can do in life. Sure enough, travelling’s amazing, but it’s not a magic ritual that will grant you wisdom and and solve all your problems. And while I do think there’s a certain level of accomplishment involved, it’s not like we’re discovering continents here. Get over yourself. I admire people that are creative – and create things more than I admire people that have pretty much smoked a joint on every continent. If all you do in life is wander, then what will you leave behind when your gone?
Of course, not everybody has the desire to create, and not everybody feels the need to leave a mark. And that’s OK.
I guess I’m just not interested in that kind of people.
I am judging. And people judge me, too. Let’s all just admit it and move on.
Good hunting;
