Truthiness

Merriam-Webster defines Truthiness as: something one claims to know intuitively without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or actual facts.

I believe I touched on this subject with my previous entry so no need to get all redundant up in this bitch.

I have many beefs with the world around me, but with good reason: I never asked to be here, never asked to stay on this particular planet, or live amongst its maniacally dangerous inhabitants. My life is at the mercy of the irrational, and they are legion. So, yes, I have my reasons for being bitter at everyone and everything. Today however, I want to talk about the vague concept of the jerk: who they are, how they came to be, and the morons who spawned them.

As a species, we have the power to create more of us, and we also have the power to mold them into our image. The problem is that there are so many of us who can’t be bothered with the act of raising and nurturing our progeny. Too many times, at too crucial of moments (adolescence), we leave our children to their own devices, with little to no guidance, and the social result is that these people grow up to be bitter, angry, and unintelligible, left to roam the earth at our peril.

The Alpha and Omega of the Jerk. They start out innocently enough. Then, with television and the bastards down the street bombarding them at every possible moment, with enough anger and resentment stoking the fires of douchebaggery, the earliest signs of jerkitude are born. Then, as life goes on with no warning that the American Dream was nothing more than a reneged promise, they become self important, but not necessarily self reliant. The need to ruin everyone else’s day is a hunger not sated by reason or rationality, and soon, they have psychologically mutated into a complete prick.
