Cookie!

It seems to me that someone wasn't quite happy with my previous post. Well, that person is Kooichi, and he recently set as his MSN nick something along the lines of "Ben, look in the mirror". Well, I took his advice and looked in the mirror, and I realised that I had a little stubble growing on my chin. So I put on some shaving foam and shaved it off. I kind of felt much better, and refreshed, without all that hair on my chin.

Ok, fine, I shall not be lame. I know what that bugger meant when he asked me to look in the mirror. Yes, I've made fun of others before, teasing them until it hurt when I laughed. No, I wasn't beaten up, it was just that it was painful to laugh anymore. But it's been so long ago since I've teased others for the fun of it, with nonsensical and made up claims. Now that I've grown and matured (mentally and physically) quite a bit, I realised that making fun of people isn't all it's made out to be. Yes, it might be fun, but in the long run, you realise that there is more to life than making fun of others. Nowadays, though I still poke fun at people, I do so only if it's happened to them before and it's funny (Both criteria must be met. Heh...). I don't go all out to accuse people of being or doing what they've never said, done or had happen to them, just for the sake of having a few laughs and making them look like idiots. It's just so immature to do things that way.

Now, there are only 3 reasons I know as to why people do these things.
1) They're immature.
2) They're unsure of themselves and feel the need to make fun of people, to make them look small in order to make themselves look big.
3) They're a combination of both.

But, if you look at it another way, having an ego is a sign of immaturity. And those with wgo don't realise it. They constanly seek to fulfill their insecurity with the hurt of others. They don't care what they do as long as they fulfill their own needs, regardless of the cost.

So, does calling someone gay when you know it's not true a good thing? Aren't those claims made just to fulfill your own selfish means of getting humour? I'm sure that there're other, much better ways to create humour other than coming up with stories crafted just to make people look and sound stupid. Look at society and you will see this behaviour prevalent in people around. They claim to be mature, but are they really? People say maturity is shown in many different forms, but can this be considered mature? I hope that whoever read this will think about what they do, and hopefully change for the better if they are the kind of people I'm writing about.
