I see red.

It's a minute past midnight and here I am, sitting infront of my PC because one emotion floods my brain,not allowing me to sleep.That emotion,ladies and gentlemen,is anger.Pure,absolute,unaldulterated anger.

Here's a question.How much shit can a normal individual take in a day?I assume that our Creator endowed us all with the same shit-taking capacities.But how much crap is an individual willing to take?Therein lies the difference,my friends.

This world,I have effectively concluded,is filled up in most part by people who will do anything to get their way,to rub off some of their bad vibes on others,or just proudly display their absolute lack of a long-dead thing called courtesy.They will step on your toes,muck your face in the mud, drown you in a marsh,whatever.As long they go to sleep satisfied every night.

Now when one is a child,one mostly learns to "seek the goodness in everyone",which,by the way,is a complete load of nonsense.When one actually steps into the world and is on one's own,all the extremes of mean,crude,opportunistic,psychotic behaviour can be observed.

But what do people who don't even know each other get out of being downright rude?Please justify to me why a woman should be asked to delay her phone conversation with her fiance by the driver of her cab just because she requested for the volume of the cab radio to be reduced twice?Impertinence?Yes sir!You betcha!And please note that the woman in question had used the words "please" in her request, which had to be repeated only because it the volume was increased to ear-splitting levels again.

Oh and there is also this whole battalion of chauvinists who think its their right to look at and speak to women condescendingly,contempt and irritation punctuating every word they speak.

To say nothing of petty politics people employ to get to the top:"Oh did I trample you into the mud on my way up?So sorry but you know I think the colour of dirt really suits you.Cheer up,you'll get used to it."

People using me for their personal hidden agendas,taking me for granted,treating me like nothing,telling me what to do,bullying me.........I've just had it!!!!!!!!!

The journey to being an adult just chiefly comprises of learning to be as ruthless as the world around you.Period.And I think the last trace of my foolish naive attitude just flew out of the window.

How much shit are we willing to take? None at all! Not even the tiniest bit. But how much do we end up taking? We all know that . . . . we all see red from time to time.

Don't worry, the red helps us appreciate the yellows and greens that come afterwards. It would be real boring if it was green or yellow all the time, wouldn't it?

But seriously, the outside world is utterly incomprehensible at times. How could people be so heartless? And insensitive... You do have to look out for yourself, first and foremost. That is the kind of world we live in, like it or not. Besides, you can't be good to others if life hasn't been good to you. If you have nothing, you can give nothing. We already know all this on some level, but all of us feel let down sometimes and life becomes too much to handle. Relax and just allow it to pass. If life has been good to you so far, chances are it will be good to you in future, too. :)
