All About Common Sense

I hate my family.

And I hate this country.

I don't think I have ever really liked my family or my country.Take my uncle whose appartement has been my residence in Taipei since I got back for example. A middle-age man who does not even understand how to clean a table and his friends who come to the house and play majong. This is a group of saddest people in the world. They all have a decent job, good pay yet they are to me the lower end of the low decominator of the society. They do not even know how to go to the loo properly. No one ever closes the bloody door and albeit the large toilet bowl, they seem unable to aim at that big hole each time they have to go release themselves. They can't talk about anything properly, totally socially-inept. They have no knowledge of how to be clean, eat anything that is in a box and wear clothes that are never ironed. They talk loud in Taiwanese and oops, I am sorry, they don't talk, they yell. And that is the truth of Taiwanese middle-age people in Taiwan or elsewhere in the world. Absolutely no consideration. And the country is controlled by people like them, including the president or the premier. How can a society advances with such people in power? And all they do is criticise others, never evaluation themselves. Worse, they'd use the excuse of saying their life has been harsh and all the crap just to criticise others, whereas when one criticises them on their behaviour from a logical point of view, it is not acceptable.

Perhaps the perfectionist in me is demanding too much from others but on second thought, it is more like the logical thinker in me who wonders about how a place can still survive with a majority of people who have no common sense. And what's with my family?Nothing much. Just that I don't really consider these people my family anymore. I have never really known what family is. One's family gives one the support they need in life, isn't that true? Yet who supports me? No one? And if there are people who are willing to support me in various ways, it's not really my family (fine, there's the financial aspect before I became able to support myself, but then I can have a rather ugly argument about this that no one really wants to hear about because it is the ugly truth). All the support given to me has come from different people spread around the world and who are always far from me.And today is not about rants. I have ranted enough. It's simply to say that I had enough and anymore of this is simply dangerous.
