I hope this doesn't come across as of...Hi Tim,<br /><br />I hope this doesn't come across as offensive, but it seems to me that most of your issues boil down to a deep-seeded cynicism. I'm not just referencing your writing here, but also some of your comments on other pages - e.g your views on virtue signalling.<br />Are you okay? Are you getting enough person-to-person contact with others? I know that there have been times in my life when loneliness manifests itself as cynicism. You appear to have a great distrust for people, or perhaps people that you cannot relate to. I promise I am writing this comment genuinely, so please shed the snarky voice you may be reading with - perhaps imagine someone you love reading this to you.<br /><br />It is quite absurd that you would assume that Penny Wong's tears were fake, or staged, or exaggerated. I don't think I need to spell out to you why she might be crying (hopefully you aren't so disconnected from society that you would understand why she would be crying - let me know if you're not and I'll explain).<br /><br />I think in the future, before you begin lamenting about the ulterior motives of others, maybe just consider: what if this person is genuine? Not everybody has ulterior motives. Maybe it has been engrained in you that they do, I am unaware of your life or anything you may have been through.<br />All I am suggesting is that there are ways for someone like yourself to get to know people better - join a sport team, a knitting club, a book club - I'm not sure what your interests are. Modelling your life or your views after shock jocks will not lead to happiness.<br />There is an underlying sadness and longing in your writing, and I promise you that there are things you can do to remedy however you may be feeling about the state of the world.<br /><br />I hope I have not upset you in anyway,<br /><br />let me know if you need to chat more. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
