I sometimes feel that the world is a very uncivilised place where it is meant to be at its most civilised. Where it's meant to be intellectual or artistic or compassionate, it isn't, and that makes me very angry.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Parts of the world can be very hostile to differences, social or artistic.
The world's a mean place. It's unfair, then it's fair. It's hateful, then it's loving. It's a very peculiar place on philosophical and metaphysical and religious levels.
The world is neither wise nor just, but it makes up for all its folly and injustice by being damnably sentimental.
When you see in places like Africa and parts of Asia abject poverty, hungry children and malnutrition around you, and you look at yourself as being people who have well being and comforts, I think it takes a very insensitive, tough person not to feel they need to do something.
I can be plenty frustrated and not have to constantly portray myself as upset and angry at the world.
I am sort of drawn toward places in the world where there is struggle and conflict.
When you feel that the way you interpret the world is fairly idiosyncratic, you can feel somewhat ostracized and lonely.
Sometimes I listen to songs by very smart writers who assume that the world is a civil place with certain formalities that people follow, but I don't see things that way. My own experience tells me that life is not like that.
I have often seen people uncivil by too much civility, and tiresome in their courtesy.
I find the earth to be a place of misery in which I am surrounded by the conformity that kills society.
