Everybody Hates Me - Woe is me. I'm Going Out and Eat Worms.(comical satire)

Maintaining a sense of humor is as necessary as maintaining good ethics when dealing with people in general.

Know when to laugh at yourself.

Never put down others in an offensive and hateful way.

God MUST have a grand sense of humor.

Everybody hates me.....

WHY MUST I BE SO MISUNDERSTOOD?

Oh, woe is me....a satirical tale.

After receiving an email the other day that i thought was quite funny, i decided to forward it to all my email contacts (friends and family) who promptly responded with multiple negative comments as to my intended "insult" to them.

Apparently mentioning the process and reality of aging has become politically incorrect. ?

Doesn't anyone have a sense of humor any more?

Or is it because this was too close to the truth?

One responded:

"....now this is why no-one likes you."

I asked:

"WHAT ? You don't like me because i am concerned about you?"

He replied:

" you are not only ugly, but you can't read either. I didn't say I do not like you - i said no-one likes you" .

Then there were those "you are too...." comments which includes a few of the following:

You are too..

• .....opinionated
• .....liberal mouthed (not minded)
• .....incontrovertibly controversial
• .....in-congruently incongruous
• .....sacrilegious
• .....tolerant of intolerant people
• .....quick to criticize honest bigots
• .....irreverent
• .....obnoxious for your own good

And a few more, more personal: you are...

• .....a dippy old hippy.
• .....a conformed non-conformist
• .....a confirmed non-conformist
• .....an old dunderhead pot head (referring to my hub on legalizing the stuff, of course)
• .....an inane idiot
• .....a dubious old dudgeon
• .....a blundering boob
• .....an anti-dogmatic dolt

{and i am proud to say - guilty of all the above}

Then there were the short versions:

• L.O.L.
• Ha. Ha. Ha.
• Same to you buddy !
• Jerk !
• This is why you are not my favorite brother.

And these are only the printable ones.. Some were NOT as kind. And yet others just did not respond at all.

Some of these i suspect are directly related to my hub pages articles and their respective topics. (see links below to those referenced).

I came from a large family of conservative, (politically: un-named), catholics, and a few who converted to Mormonism (why, i will never know - just moving from one crazy cult to another), and of course, their disapproval of my becoming a spiritual gnostic who crazily thinks that everyone should be treated equally.

And, too, i suspect they fear that (as their religions teach them) i am provoking the wrath of God and he will soon raise his hand to smite me.

I also suspect they are trying to distance themselves from me, so that, that "smite-ation" won't spill over unto them or theirs, as well.

I do, on the other hand, suspect that God is quite tolerant and does possess a grand sense of humor - otherwise he would have placed the testicles in a less vulnerable spot.

...and now for that email:

The weathermen say the temperature is going to reach extremely high levels today, and everyone should check on the elderly and senile.

ARE YOU OK?

disclaimer: This is just a spoof, my family and friends (most of them anyway) are very supportive of me and my humble opinionated opinions.

The world needs more laughter in it.

People are so "testy" today that they take offense to anything not "politically" correct, or humor directed towardard silly religious belief, or toward their own personal biases, and will sue anyone for anything at the drop of a hat.
