| I finally came up with a reasonable explanation of why I don't like people in general.?Imagine that you are hungry, and you are walking down a street lined with restaurants.?They display pictures of all kinds of food, some that looks good, and some that looks not so good.?You enter a restaurant and stare at the menu.?You order up a nice meal.?But when it gets to your table there is nothing but the smell of the food.?Or perhaps a tiny bite of food, and that is all they offer.?So you just paid money and spent time to get something that does little if anything to satisfy your hunger.?This is how I view people.?They seem to offer interesting ideas and experiences, but if you spend time with them you find out that they offer little if anything of substance.?You use them up in a matter of minutes or hours and then they cease to have anything to offer.?No deep thoughts, no interesting ideas, just a little flash and sizzle and then nothing.?You still hunger for meaningful conversation, quick wit, intellectual substance.?Instead you are rewarded with nothing but the ghost of what could be. |
