The Bad Touch

Why is it that humans are infatuated with negative things? Not just ‘playa hating’ like intentionally hurting people and all that jazz but when something bad happens people always have to get a good nosey. Like a murder, an accident, or a fight; if they arise in a public place there’s always a flood of people that have to see what’s going on. Probably boils down to the fact that they’re relieved that it’s someone else going through the ordeal.

Also, why is it that infamous people or rebels are always noticed and remembered more? Case Study: since my decrepit work shirts started falling to pieces, can’t wear a tie. In two weeks more managers and supervisors have spoken to me than in the previous four years of employment. I also have no doubt that on a larger scale, someone like Hitler’s ‘legacy’ will prevail over almost any of the good people in history like Mother Teresa and so on.

Sounds like a pessimistic viewpoint, but it’s true. Like how you can only remember the arseholes from school. It’s just sad that in a few more years down the line we’re all going to remember the people that pissed us off and hurt us more than most of our friends who sat on the sideline and contributed to the good times.
