the individuality

I’ve nev­er un­der­stood peo­ple who hold an­oth­er’s friend­ship hostage based on po­lit­i­cal lean­ings or so­cial views. 

I also would­n’t want a group of di­verse peo­ple who all think the same. That’s as bor­ing as fuck.

What’s the point of a so­cial cir­cle jerk if you don’t have a few dif­fer­ent hands in the mix?

My gal made a great ref­er­ence to a place she used to work at that prid­ed them­selves on diversity.

She said that in­deed every­one there were from all dif­fer­ent back­grounds and eth­nic groups, but out­side of that they all had the same men­tal­i­ty and act­ed the same. It es­sen­tial­ly was a bag of the same shit, but in as­sort­ed colours.

I can def­i­nite­ly see how it af­fects peo­ple, but I’ve found those kinds of peo­ple gen­er­al­ly to be lack­lus­ter. At least in my opin­ion. Your pol­i­tics or so­cial views should­n’t ef­fect how you treat friends, and it def­i­nite­ly should­n’t be used to con­form to hers to a par­tic­u­lar view­point un­der fear of be­ing cast away.

To me friend­ship is be­yond that, it is how peo­ple in­ter­act and ap­pre­ci­ate the com­pa­ny of each oth­er. As I get old­er, there has been so many peo­ple I’ve come across who are pet­ty and fake. Even their pol­i­tics are fake.

Maybe it’s just the cur­mud­geon in me speak­ing, but I find my­self hav­ing less pa­tience for those who look at things just on the surface. 

Time is in­deed pre­cious. I like peo­ple who like the in­di­vid­u­al­i­ty in others.
