    They are definitely dead. On the inside.

    It took me a long time to be comfortable with the fact that people hated me. I eventually learned that I had the courage to do things they wish they could have done with their time. Instead they worked themselves into a life of constant pain and misery.

    Not understanding why I received so much hate was a mindfuck itself. At least now I know I can be proud of my past actions. They were able to target their insecurities. In my opinion, words alone could never reach that deep.

    If I spent all my time reaching my potential, I would have never had time to experience life. I know I made the right choices when I look into those dead, judgemental eyes. All the bullshit words in world could never bring a light back into those eyes.

      Oh, a lot of them are proper-dead in my case!:)) But, yes, automatons. That’s all they were. Working for the System is all that they knew, respecting the System is all that they knew, and supplication to the System was their only belief.
