Mankind And I
As one of the protagonists of ‘The Brothers Karamazov’ would say, I don’t remember exactly who, but it goes something like this: “I love mankind in general but hate man in particular.” How beautiful, Dostoevsky the great. It seems all intricacies of human are only fathomed to their greatest depth by Russian writers. At least so it seems. My lack of social politics seems to aggravate Dostoevsky’s notion even more. Without stepping on others’ toes, I would like to leave it to that.
So, what’s new? Nothing, I guess. Oh! Yes, I can run now 6 miles without a stop. Quite an achievement, huh? Pat on the back. I’ve been running regularly, I would prefer to play some sports, but lack of company makes it harder. Running is tedious. Once, my friend asked me, why do you think Africans are a better runner than anyone else? I didn’t know the answer then, but I guess, I do now, after watching ‘God Must Be Crazy’ again. If you are chased by some carnivores the moment you open your eyes, fucking anybody would be a great runner. Environment makes you evolve, but social status makes you run. I’ve never seen any Blacks or Hispanics running opposed to the number of Whites running on the road. Only time I’ve seen them running is in the TV program ‘Cops’ when chased by the police. Hehe…now I am being stereotypical. But, besides being politically correct, that is very true, so it seems by the color of people being chased by the cops.
When white people ride their bikes (bicycle) they are ecstatically happy, since it’s recreation for them. I’ve seen Latinos riding bikes all grumpy, who wouldn’t be, if you had to go to peddle to your work. Probably this must be the only country where poor are fucking fat, and rich all scrawny. Poor and rich are literally divided by the waist line.
Shit, this write up has been turned into politics of health, which I am not good at either. Talking about politics; I’ve given up watching any News on TV. Politics in the U.S is the worst of any kind anywhere in the world (just the exaggeration, I wouldn’t know about all the political processes of the whole globe, it’s just to let you know, how disgusted that I am with it.) Republicans seem to be running for Jesus, and his affluent followers, while Democratic Party is confused, they don’t know what they are running for. Earlier, I was excited about the Democratic candidates, one a woman the other a minority—black. Since they’ve been chirping their songs to their targeted audience for a while, my enthusiasm is fizzling out. There is no difference between them and the other Presidency candidates, beside their sex and color. In fact they all sound the same. It’s all about national interest aka corporate interest, so there goes the Environmental issues down the oil drain.
I’m all worried, as if I can vote.
Gols must be crazy.
By the same logic all the fat mexicans should be atheltic too, they run miles to cross the border all the way to california, their fat-ass being chased by the BSF and hillbillies with shotguns. Twisted minded motherfuckers don’t shy away from using their twsited barrels.
Al-Gore the guy who lost to Texas would be a candiaite(if he had ran) then these pussy democratic candiaites. Who gives a shit about environment, don’t you eat food that makes you release hot-dangerous-gases which are supposedly melting the artic/antartic ice.
In one way or another, politics affect us and we cannot avoid it by any means.
Rather than disliking politics, I believe, people have to outcast those fking political baloneys/ But can they?
This very article of yours reminded me of a conversation between me and a friend of mine, where we discussed about the types of families in US where they have many children, and our conclusion was: it’s either uneducated minority group or wealthy whites.
Mr. Maitreya, can we ever run from politics? Right, left, front, back, up, down - it’s everywhere, just like the existence of Hanumaan Putra al over. LOL
Yet again, a nice write-up, enjoyed it.
