Some More
1. Live in the past. Feel, down to each cell, every slight, every wrong, every moment of pain. Defy mathematics by adding yourself up by subtracting yourself – you are the sum of your past experiences, therefore you are Zero. Null. *ERROR* PC Load Letter. The big blue screen of death. Multiply your pain and each insecurity by powers of 10, and then divide it all up to last through your entire life, leaving no moment unscratched.
2. Judge people early and often. Choose books by their covers, wine by their labels and people by superficial means. A clean cut, well dressed man who attends church can never be a rapist, an animal abuser, a wife beater. A scruffy, rumpled, hunched over man is beyond contempt and should be ignored at all costs. Misinterpret the old saw, “You are a reflection of those with whom you spend your time” to mean, “You are a better person if you spend your time with only those who make a good impression.”
3. Only believe in the familiar, in what you already know. Do not listen to other viewpoints with a so-called “open mind” or “open heart,” and do not attempt to think of reasons why others believe in what they do. They are wrong and that is the only “reason” behind anything they do or think. Disparage them. Cut them off, make general statements to belittle. They do not deserve happiness or equality. They should change. If they insist on being different, they should do so out of sight. Let yourself burn with rage and disgust for their differences, for you know that history has shown itself completely accurate and justified in the oppression of groups of people. Furrow your brows and retch with revulsion at the idea that difference and uniqueness is beautiful and good. Everyone should look the same, act the same, love the same.
4. Collect people and material objects without abandon and never forget that owning more means being more, being better, being happier. Your car and your wardrobe, your electronics and the size of your ego are a sign of inner peace and comfort; always want more.
5. Focus not on what is in front of you, but everything else. Live your life inside a photographic negative – the transparent light in the negative should be seen literally as light, not the absence of it. Not dark and shadows. Collect whitespace in the form of things that don't really matter. Do it not only for yourself, but for what you think will make you look better to others. Spend your time looking around for something better, and understand that what is in front of you is only a distraction for the acquisition of more.
6. Ignore the lives of the less fortunate or those who are different yet still perceived unequal or less than. Denounce them loudly for “choosing” their paths, for being where they are because clearly they want to be there, otherwise they wouldn't be. Deny them their rights for happiness, for equality, for peace. Ignore your own good fortune for not having to experience their problems and pain. You are who you are because you built yourself every step of the way – we're all from equal means at contraception, so it follows that we begin our lives with the same opportunities. Do not let yourself be convinced that others have a lifetime of hurdles to even get to the point you were at birth. Do not let yourself be convinced that, if you were in their position, you wouldn't be able to overcome. Decry outreach programs, art, humanities, education. And in your next breath, express your outrage at crime levels, ignorance and poverty.
7. Underestimate yourself. Do not hope for that which is presently out of reach or that which you feel is unattainable. Hold yourself responsible for everything you cannot control; past performance in school can only be because you are unintelligent, not because the methods by which you learned weren't right for the way your brain worked at the time. Understand that past mistakes dictate the future, that there is no way to recover from a bad situation. You must have deserved it, therefore, you are still undeserving. That is your lot. Compare yourself to others, let others make you feel small. You are. You are not good enough or else you would have everything you want the moment you want it. Don't try to extricate yourself from a bad situation or one in which you are not happy. It's too late. You need to just learn to live with it. It's too hard. You're not smart enough for change, for goals, to do things you think are impossible. You might as well not even try. Placate yourself by saying things like, “If it were meant to be...” or “I guess that's just not in the cards for me.” You chose wrong, ergo, you are a loser and deserve to be punished. You're not capable of identifying something that could make you happy and then going for it, bit by bit, until you are within your grasp and can ride the high to achievement and fulfillment. You don't have time. It's too late. You're just not good enough and you never will be. You will fail. You are a failure. You might as well just spare yourself the heartache and not even try. Be certain of your failure, your lot, your status, yourself. Never try to be better; it's just a waste of time.
