I really had a major WTF moment right there, because I can't really blame a kindergarten aged kid for the misuse, and clear misinterpretation of the word. However, this incident is a good example of how multiple internet trolls have sliced and diced the rhetoric of how the word 'savage' is currently -- and trendily used. (Thanks, social media.) We hear so many people these days, so loud and proud to call themselves savages... A fucking savage! The sad reality is: most of these dummy dum-dums who use that word out of context, have been brainwashed, rinsed, and hung the fuck out to dry.
Ladies... God knows how much I absolutely love the sensual wiles of the female persuasion, and I really didn't wanna be the one to call out my fellow humans of the opposite sex... but somebody had to do it. So, fuck it! It might as well be me. The majority of time lines/feeds all over social fucking media, who claim that savage shit more than anyone, belong to y'all. (There goes two-thirds of my audience... more than that if we include those who denounce their penises.)
We've all seen those posts, and they usually go something like this: some senseless dickface out there broke your heart, so now you feel it's completely necessary to do the same to some poor bastard, who dares to cross your precious fucking path. It makes soooo much sense to gaslight that ass -- just because you got hurt. It may seem natural, but just because it feels that way, doesn't make it right.
We can chalk this up to what the famous Dr. Robert Cialdini tells us about persuasion, and the principle of social proof. Even though he breaks that shit down to microscopic levels, the concept is quite simple: monkey see, monkey motherfucking do. It's easy to see why people who have been hurt before, and feel lost about how to move on would more than likely react in this way, especially when our virtual peers are constantly exposed to us. (Thanks, social media.)
We tend to look around at what others are doing as a means of guidance, when we feel lost about what to do in similar situations (Dr. Cialdini, Influence. p. 163). Many others are doing x-y-z, so that must be the right thing to do, right? Not so much, especially in these kinds of situations. If we can put forth a little brain power, we can easily remember how badly that hurt feels, whether you are a man or a woman. The shit doesn't feel good; in fact, it downright fucking sucks -- and not in the good way, either. (Insert the little horny devil emoji here.)
When we combine living in the age of modern tech, and feeling completely drained from such heartbreaks and aches: Who the fuck wants to put forth that many mental resources to properly heal? Emotional trauma takes much effort to heal from, especially when it is caused by the dismay of a past relationship. It's very plausible as to why people -- especially most women -- simply do not want to. (Swipe right, or swipe left? That is the question.)
It requires a lot of work, and in terms of constantly being exposed to how other people react in similar situations, (thanks, social media), it's easier to fit in than to stand out. But as the adage goes: what comes easy, ain't worth keeping. Hurting innocent people, and seeking to ruin lives over that pain may initially come with ease: anyone with a fucking pulse will soon find out hate is one heavy ass burden to carry, and it only makes life much harder.
Whether or not most people realize it -- regardless of how much, or how little they wanna acknowledge what I'm about to say -- there are some universal laws that intuitively govern our lives, and the outcomes that happen throughout. What most call "Karma" is very real, and does not exonerate anyone. Basically put: what goes around comes right the fuck back around. Our motives and how we carry ourselves are always reciprocated into our lives.
Example: if we inflict chaos and drama onto others, then we should expect nothing less in return; if we love others with selfless and true intent, then love will return to us in abundance. It's a very simple concept, no matter how much humans are prone to complicating it, and therefore, it is often misconstrued. It's not sensible to think impure intentions, motives, or anything ill-mannered in nature toward others, would ever yield those positive outcomes desired for ourselves, regardless of how much some individuals may feel entitled to receiving them. We get hurt sometimes; it's very much apart of life.
Straight up, it's detrimental to our well being to think hurting others in a destructive wake of entitlement will manifest a positive and deserving outcome: those who think this way will get what is deserved indeed, but it will be far from how they think that shit will pan out. If we really feel like we deserve good things in life -- love, happiness, stability -- then our conduct must be congruent of those feelings; we get back what we put out there. Simply put: we gotta say what we mean, and actually do what we fucking say.
That's right, motherfuckers. Thy shall reapeth what thine ass hath sown. In fact (all jokes aside), it's very similar to how a farm or a garden works. We plant the seeds for what we want to harvest, and even though (at times) it may seem like the most mundane chore ever, it's actually the easiest part of the process: there's still much to be done once we begin to see what we've envisioned sprouting up. Much like plants need nurturing and consistent care, the same tending needs to be done for whatever it is we want in life. If a plant stops being cared for, then it wilts, withers, and eventually dies -- which is what happens to our desires when we deviate from acting accordingly. It could -- and should -- all be so simple...
