What Do You Despise?

[Forgottendanfan]

Too many things to list, but animal abuse is up near the top.

If my understanding is correct, the mental state of anger, is one that shuts down cortical function, and reduces one's ability to think critically. It can be an overwhelming emotion.

Fear and anger seem to be quite inter-related...

As someone who's made mistakes more than once making choices out of negative obsessions/catastrophizations, or blind rage and/or a desire for revenge, I can confirm.

When people hold others to a standard they themselves don't bother to uphold.

That's a good one, but also a hard one.

At first I thought, I don't do this...but I guess, I kind of do, just in different ways.
It can be a sneaky thing that can be hard to be mindful of.

Yeah, I'm sure I hold other people to standards I myself don't, or at least have before.

One thing I know I do, is give advice I don't follow myself, or at least, not always.

I don't like when people say, "do as I say, not as I do." And I don't think people should take to heart, advice given, that isn't followed.

So, I suppose all that makes me a hypocrite; and I don't like hypocrites.

Oh well. That's why I don't like ruminating on, 'things I despise.' There are so many things; but, I think it's more useful to look within, and try to root out those very things you do not like, within yourself, rather than expending energy/time contemplating the wrongs of others...

Child and animal abuse.

I despise financialization, or less politely, "ensh*ttification".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification

Or, how products/services always end up becoming more expensive, for less quality.
The Wikipedia article focuses mostly on websites, such as Myspace or Facebook, but this same principle can apply to things in the offline world too.

And on a different but related note:

"shrinkflation" also sucks both ass and balls.

@TheSkaFish We live in a world of corporate greed.

The fact that we both can see that - despite being polar opposites politically - gives me hope yet that "normal life" can return one day.

We can at least both see what the problem is.
And we remember a better world than this.
The solution is the tricky part.

Yes, I agree 100% with you on this.
