Why do we care?

[SPKrazy]

why do we care?

the corporate leaders and the government don't care

they don't care if we care

I care for reasons I don't always understand.

It seems right to care about others, keeping a safety net, etc.

right now, I am so fucked up that I can't even straighten out my own life, yet I still care.

Tell me why do we care?

:cry:

[Critters2]

1. Because we're decent people.

We're better than them. Dammit.

[SPKrazy]

3. sometimes

i'm tired of that

i don't want to be "decent"

fuck

[Critters2]

8. Can't make it stop. I know, I've tried.

I look at the fundies, with their big, growing churches, and I think "I could preach that stuff and be a big, effin' star!" But it turns out, I can't. Just not built that way. Don't know why.

Personally, I blame my parents.

[SPKrazy]

11. hell i don't know who to blame

i'm wired up to care

i always have

too damned sensitive

i used to drink to try to make that sensitive go away so i didn't care

then i sobered up

right now i'm back at the point of

i want it to go the fuck away

i'm tired of being sensitive

i'm tired of caring

i can't stop though

[Critters2]

12. Nope. You can't stop. You just gotta live with it.

But really, would you want to be them?

[SPKrazy]

14. it's my achilles heel

no i couldn't be "them"

but i envy their ability to be able to just move on and not be affected by things

instead

i'm a frickin' basketcase half the time

how is a basketcase helpful to making things better?

2. My dear Southpawkicker...

We care because we are that sort of creature, sweetie...

We have hearts and souls, and these make us care about others...

Even though it hurts sometimes...

Our caring connects us...:pals: :loveya: :hug:

[SPKrazy]

5. my heart

is shattered

if i didn't give a shit

it wouldn't matter

sometimes

i wish

it were that way

instead

i fucking care dammit

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. I'm sorry your heart is shattered...

I hear you about that...

If you didn't care, then you wouldn't hurt...

But then you wouldn't be open to the joy either, when it comes along...

And it will, you know...

:loveya: :hug:

[SPKrazy]

13. there is joy in my life right now

and there is my shattered heart

my joy is what gets me through the night

my heart is hurt

if i didn't care i wouldn't be hurt

i want to shut off the caring part of my brain right now in life

i want to be able to say fuck it all

and move on

and

well

it all sounds like a pity party doesn't it

oh well

thanks

[Swede]

4. Who else is gonna do it?

They see it as a weakness,I think it is our strength.

[SPKrazy]

7. i'm tired of getting

the shaft

of being a pawn for the corporate masters to fuck with

i want to fight them

tired of

shit

just tired

[Wapsie B]

6. Because caring is what makes life worth living.

Even in my darkest moments there's still a part of me that cares. If we didn't care we'd be robots. Or repubs.

[SPKrazy]

9. i care too

i wish i didn't sometimes

it would make life easier

just say fuck it

and

be done

instead

I fucking care

[flvegan]

15. What do you think it is?

[SPKrazy]

16. at times i think it is a curse

at other times i see reality and know that i care because it is the right thing to do

you care about your dogs

you care about other things i'm sure or you wouldn't be on DU

you care about our country

and I do too

I get tired of that part of my brain that cares though

I'd like to train it to only care about things i can do something about

instead

i care about every fucking thing it seems sometimes...

so

i guess it is the right thing to do flvegan

:shrug:
