Impatience, intolerance, and noise-pollution.
Impatience. life's too short to rush through, but people do every day. Always in a hurry, always out of time. Nobody wants to just stop, and take a look around anymore. Perhaps the greatest tragedy is that we've turned our dreams to gold and silver, and thus spend our time chasing after it.
Intolerance. life is far too diverse to cling to a single opinion or way of doing things, and yet people try to. One says that "this is the way to do things" and so everyone else trys to agree for the sake of not being left out. Meanwhile, the rare difference from that horde is usually an instant pariah. Why? What gives anyone a monopoly on truth?
Noise-pollution, everything makes a sound, but must we continually add to it? Loud music, yelling, and stomping about... some of my best memories are hours spent listening to the heartbeat and breathing of my lover. I can also count a few times when slamming doors and people yelling would wake her beneath me, and the beautiful rhythm would be broken. The sound of cars and machines drowns out the beautiful song of birds, and the rustling of wind through the trees. Everyone wants to fill up the silence with small talk, and everyone has to play their music so loudly.
The world is a beautiful, diverse place. But nobody does anything in moderation. And so that beauty is sacrificed, the diversity is murdered, and the peace is forever being robbed from thsoe who pursue it.
People who demonstrate or add to those three things, regardless of the method... tend to annoy me pretty quickly.
Which may have a lot to do with why I'm seen as distant, anti-social and uncommunicative in person. Which probably pisses someone else off.
