Annoyance Doesn't Matter

                                      Annoyance Doesn't Matter

People are ticks burrowing into your sweltering backside. Someone is jamming the keys on the board into their sockets like hammering a chisel into stonemasonry. Birds won't shut up and squawk too fast with a strident timbre. Those who you're engaged in conversation with cut you off to excitedly welcome with other people, treating you like the lowest rung on the social ladder they're grasping desperately to ascend. The constant use of default phrases and language overused since time immemorial (is this just vexing to writers?). This does not make them evil, they are just annoying.

Annoyance is a mental distraction from what you really should be focusing on that you find challenging. Perhaps you are the asshole for being the one who is annoyed. The others don't seem to be bothered by this behaviour, why should you? Fuck your feelings, they're not really important.

It doesn't matter.

People have different personalities (brilliant insight). Adjusting to a bunch of different human energies in rapid succession is exhausting. You are much better focusing on one person for a while, than a group of people coming and going. The latter is superficial and crappy. Better to have relationships that are deeper than numerous.

There is a certain kaleidoscope of multiculturalism we are subject to more than ever across the globe. Whether you look at that as a good or an ill, is up to your perspective, and it probably is some form of awkward jumbled foreign tasting bouillabaisse. But it is a thing.

Fall not for the charismatic or aesthetically repulsive speaker attribution. Do not attribute positive qualities to those whose morals we share, and negative to those you agree with. Or wait, actually it's more the reverse. Do not attribute high morals to those people you find likeable, and low morals to those who we find irritating. It's cathartic to find other's that share your particular personality perturbments to vent to. You are probably annoying to someone else, too. I irk myself constantly. Even my own friends and family vex my at times, but I keep them around because they are good people.

Just because people are irritating does not make them bad people.

Tolerate those who you find bug you if they are part of a community you are a member of. Don't just torture yourself for no reason. And it's fine to bitch to your friends about it. It's not that important. Control what you can within your own life. Worry not about the aesthetic choices of others.
