Writes..."Irk, Irks, Irked"

"people are irking me, i'm irked, irked. and i think the saddest part is that it's because i don't really ask anyone for anything and yet i'm still constantly disappointed by what they have to give me. who knows? maybe that's a reflection on me and who i am. maybe i should expect more from people. no, i should demand more. but i don't. i expect very little and usually can't even get that. i remember that jesus asked for little himself and was also disappointed by what mankind had to offer him. and i'm no jesus christ. i use the comparison only to emphasize the point that even the king of kings couldn't get people to do right by him, so what chance do i have? does that make me a pessimist? with a glass half-empty type of mentality perhaps? i don't think so. i'm neither pessimistic or optimistic, i'm a realist. and realistically people do what they do, according to their own desires. but hey, i'm a person too, right?"
