There was a time when I would just say what was on my mind a not worry about how it would be taken. Now I sit here before posting most pages deciding not to say things. Maybe it’s wisdom, or perhaps a feeling of futility. As time goes by it feels like wisdom is often informed by understanding futility. People say that reaching out to others is most often the best course of action, but it’s been my experience that asking for help, understanding, and many other things, really just opens you up to attack. Many people just rove around the internet looking for weakness to attack. Damaged people, hurt people, impotent people, looking to get a feeling of power from hurting anyone, just so they can feel like they aren’t living a completely pointless existence. Lashing out so that other people can feel their pain too. Maybe it would be good to give them a target. Maybe that’s the societal function of a lolcow. The village idiot that it’s okay to torment. An outlet for the hate that lives in the heart of every creature to one degree or another. People ache for purpose and will take whatever they can get when no true enemy
presents itself.

For now I think I’ll keep myself to myself. If that results in random monkeys assaulting others then I apologize for not fulfilling my function. Maybe I’ll get back to it later on. In any case I hope you who do not hate me will return on Monday, having had a nice, safe, weekend. Until then I will simply smile knowingly at you and nod.
