#1- Greed. I hate greed. People will do all sorts of other nasty things for greed. Whether the point of the greed is money, attention, admiration or whatever. Greed sucks. Greed can make a person lose all respect for human life. It can make a person stop loving their children, their spouse, their friends or their family. Greed changes personalities, goals, careers and souls. Greed is evil.
#2 – Superiority. This is the thing that incorporates a sense of entitlement, lack of faith, the urge to judge, and the inability to see you are doing wrong when someone kindly points it out. The folks nurturing superiority are the ones that feel there should be nothing disallowed them. They think they should be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want and there should be no consequences. If there are consequences, they are generally someone else’s fault and they are then allowed to be as pissed as they like and feel free to mistreat the person administering the consequences. They deem anyone not of the same opinion as themselves an idiot and not worthy of life on earth. Everyone else’s facts are opinions while their opinions are fact. These people inspire hatred, disgust and contempt. They are insufferable and impossible to like. Unfortunately, they can’t admit they are total assholes because the world would stop spinning so they figure that since you don’t like them something must be wrong with you. According to them, that’s a fact.
#3 – Denial. We all know someone who is in denial. This is the person that allows themselves to be hosed for whatever, money, time, affection, work, etc, refuses to listen when you repeatedly inform them that they are getting hosed and then hit rock bottom and scream in your face “why didn’t you tell me?!?!?!” Uh, gee, fuck you? Of course you told them, everyone did. Did they listen? No. Did they end up broke, sick, out of a job, homeless, helpless, hopeless? Duh. Just like you said they would? Duh again. Are we supposed to say “I told you so?” No, and I can’t see why not. If they were blind enough to do it the first time than maybe a little frustrated rake over the coals would drive it home enough to prevent it the second time. Or the third. Then again, probably not.
List to continue, I’m off to drink Chai and pass out.
