Moments of self-righteousness

[khaosworks]

Sometimes, while bored, I come across LJs that complain how lonely the person is, how angry they are at the world, how everyone else is stupid, and how love, or simple affection, is just so fucking hard to come by. And more and more, the following happens:

I think to myself, "You're nineteen. You'll learn."

And then I look inwardly at myself and think, "Well... maybe not."

Then a minute or so later I think again, "Well... at least you'll stop whining about it so loudly."

And the moment passes.

Aren't those interesting/educational moments, when you catch yourself at something like that?

And, ironically, that ability to catch yourself in your self-righteousness and give yourself a little smack is what probably _does_ separate you from that nineteen-year-old.

Funny, sweetie. Anyway, at least whining from you would be amusing and eloquent; it was eloquent even when you were 19 (well, at least some of the time...). You should my whining these days - mind-numbingly boring stuff, about sleep deprivation and tuition fees. J
