Do you ever have days where you just wonder .... why?
I think this is the wonder why year for me.
So perhaps this isn't for the faint of heart and not for Dachsie eyes. Read on if you feel the need to wonder why too.
I wonder why people are just so rude. Has common decency and values gone out the window?
I wonder why it is .. that when you know something verbatim, by the book, backwards and forwards, someone will just give you excuses of why something being done or said is "really" ok. Are some people just simply that clueless that they don't care and have to continue doing something ass backwards to prove a point.
I wonder why people feel the need to live in a HUGE house beyond what they truly need and then they piss and moan about how expensive it is and how oh my goodness I don't think we can afford it. Um ... really? Did you do the math part about how you make X, the house costs X, the insurance and taxes cost X? Why should we bail your pathetic asses out. Riddle me this.
I wonder why people eat themselves into utter "fat" and then complain that it's the foods fault. No it's not the food that made you fat, made you ill, made you get diabetes. It's your lack of self control.
I wonder why people always feel the need to talk trash about their supposedly good friends. I don't really care to know who's doing what with who. It's really none of my concern.
I wonder why people dump their pets on craigslist, kijiji, in the woods, at shelters and so on. I can understand an act of God, losing a job to the point of being destitute and needing to rehome because you truly love them and want them to have better than you can give them ... But to say .. a baby is on the way, we don't have time and so on. Get real. You're just pathetic lazy people who should have never brought a pet home in the first place.
I wonder why people call at the last moment and "hope" you will drop everything to visit with them. If you're not not my parents or Jesus it's not going to happen.
I wonder why it's ok to dump the elderly into a home and forget about them. I see this all too often with the line of work I am in. No family there in the end or several 100's of miles away. WTF. These people LOVED YOU, CARED FOR YOU and most likely HELPED RAISE YOU. They die alone and unwanted. WHY?
I wonder why parents just can't tell their kids NO when they are in the store, in a restaurant, wherever... How hard is it to be a parent, act like a parent and say no. You're the adult.. Not them. This one amazes me.
I wonder WHY there are fat kids? WTH! I see so many parents in the stores putting crap into their carts geared towards children. It's CRAP. Do you want your kids to have a heart attack, diabetes, gal-bladder disease and so on? You're laying the foundation for it right now. If you love them ... make em eat their veggies!
Oh and to the lady who lets her Pug shit in the yard across the street and doesn't pick it up. I know you will never see this but I KNOW you know it's wrong because when the "snow birds" come back to visit their home suddenly we don't see you and Princess poops alot leaving turds behind.
So ... I admit it.. right now I'm having a serious wonder why year. I'm an angry little wonder why'er tonight.
Amen sister! You put into words exactly how I feel... all to often. I am, constantly, "wondering why". Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteWell said.
ReplyDeleteI wonder lots of those issues too!
Take care
Kisses and hugs
okay, this is probably only sort of related, but all of this reminded me of something I read once from a parenting columnist named John Rosemond. His advice doesn't really matter if you're three or 30 or 300, cuz immature self-centered self-indulgent consequences be darned behavior is immature self-centered self-indulgent consequences be darned behavior no matter what the age.

Very interesting article. :)
ReplyDeleteNow .. Bax's Mommy... no children? Bahh .. you have Bax.. Bax has excellent manners. ( well .. most days right? hehehe )
ooh i love minori design's stuff. (okay, totally off subject but I just noticed her link over there! :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes yes!! I love her Kitty's n Dachsie's! Well I like it all but I'm partial to "gawking" at those. :) I love little home made things there is just something very special about the non-mass-produced world out there. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat rant- try NOT to hold back next time :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling it like it is (and like Baxter's Mom, I only hvae dachsies for children!)
Agnes .... oh I could have been much more naughty about the "whys" and the state of our beautiful country but I left that for another time. I'm thinking about starting a blog where I can just rant about what ever.
ReplyDeleteI was afraid the little dachlings might get scared if they read my "why" thoughts. Hehehe
