Is it safe to make a point?
I guess what i'm asking could be simplified as: Should we call each other out? I mean, sure, there will be tons of as*holes out there with blindsighted views on how you should live your life. Who you should be with, what job you should do, what race you should marry, what economic background you should have, etc etc. But did you ever have a moment when someone said something like, " Oh i'm so sad you are leaving this party!" and you just wanted to say "no you are not?" or "you don't even know me, what do you care?" or something of that nature? What if we all called each other out all the time? The immediate reaction would be a wave of anger, scrutiny, defensiveness, splattered pride in the form or irritation, rage, and silent catty sh*t talking. But maybe, just maybe, if we refused to relent, if we all said how we really were interpreting our surroundings all the time, maybe there would be a revolution. Maybe social backstabbing and treachery would be a thing of the past because being honest is the new cool, and checking yourself is the new inherent obvious thing to do. Maybe it would eventually lead to a smarter civilization more clean of denial and what people call "fake" personalities. Instead of pointing the fingers at each other (shes fake, hes fake, they are so FAKE!) we can point those fingers at ourselves. Or maybe thats just too complicated a notion to wrap our minds around it.
