Anyone else have similar feelings?

Question

I don't know why people aren't so honest these days.. Most people try to hide behind political correctness and ride the moral high horse.. Lately I stopped caring what people think about what comes out of my mouth and decided to really start saying sh** from the heart eye to eye.. Does that really make me a bad person? I bet 50% of the people feel this way but just won't admit it. Now..Read on but don't assume I would try and be honest by spewing out racist or prejudiced remarks because I don't at all. I am not racist or prejudiced. Here goes..

I used to feel remorse or bad for people that were maybe killed in accidents in the papers. Killed by robbers. Famous celebrities dying off..

Today at work people were talking about a big explosion that happened in the city of Toronto and how a few people died. They were going on and on about how it was 'too bad' etc etc. and they look at me with a grin and say '..you don't care about them do ya?' and I said '..you know what..this is the first time i am feeling this and saying this, but i am going to be honest..I really don't give a d**n or feel sorry for anyone that dies anymore unless its a friend or member of my family. I could care less if someone dies in a tragic accident or is murdered by some psychopath..I really don't.' They laughed at me and said '..man that is brutal!'

Now..I know most people would consider or figure me to be a very selfish person. But to be honest, I am very giving. I tip waitresses. Give bums spare change when they ask. Buy people food and drinks all the time. Help people out with work they need done around their house. Help old people out..

Anyone else have similar feelings?

Answer 1

Well, I'm the same way when it comes to the political correctness and walking on egg-shells around others. I think that it's bull sh*t that everyone acts like no one is EVER supposed to have their feelings hurt by the words of someone else. If you don't like it, then turn the other cheek and move on. Stop making everything into a political debate or lawsuit. Jeez.

But as far as the not caring for others, I use to work in a hospital, I nanny, I'm CPR certified.. I cry really easily when someone else loses a life but that's because of how I was raised and my religious beliefs. I just don't like seeing others lose something that was so precious. But that's just me. Not everyone's like that and I completely respect those who don't care because then you don't have as much stress or fragility lol. Which would be GREAT to have and would be an amazing asset for certain jobs. But you seem like a caring person babe. Don't let anyone belittle you just because you don't tolerate bullsh*tters.
