a logical illogic, part one

this entry will talk a little bit about human nature, and please consult with your subconsciousness before you deny this, because if your consciousness doesn't agree with what i say here, chances are your subconsciousness does.

if you were sitting on a shuttle that was more packed than a can of tuna fish, after one heck of a long day at school ---combined with the gloomy outside weather and the misty rain that was pouring down lightly--- and you noticed that the person standing in front of you had his pants zipper unzipped and button unbuttoned, while the person was completely oblivious of it, you were suddenly faced with an unnecessary dilemma.

should you tell this person that about it in an extremely loud but polite manner, such that the entire inhabitant of the shuttle could hear you and hence, humiliating this person in every way possible,

or should you be quiet and not tell him about it so he wouldn't realize that everyone was mentally making fun of him? the unzipped zipper was pretty noticable, and this person was clearly entirely oblivious of it since he made no visible attempt to do anything about it.

the dilemma had nothing to do with being nice. the dilemma had everything to do with which one of the two action (or rather, one inaction) caused more devastation to the subject, and consequently, more amusement to yourself. and don't deny this, even if you think the thought never crossed your mind, you know it crossed your subconsciousness' mind.

human beings have a tendency to be a total jerk. you and i and everyone else, living, dead, or even the ones wandering the night in a ghostly manner. if you think you are a nice person, that is just your subconsciousness trying to cover for its own jerkiness. look deep inside into your subconscience and you will notice that if your conscience is nice, then chances are your subconsciousness is a jerk. but if you are already perfectly aware that your consciousness is a jerk, then problem is solved and you can save yourself some trouble from having to interrogate your subconscience.

so the next time you meet someone who is a complete jerk (me, for example), try to stop and think how much of a jerk you yourself are before you step up, slap me on the face, and yell out the overused phrase, "you are such a jerk."

stop, think, reflect, ask, get an answer, and then proceed to slap. that's the only right way to do it.
