What the Hell is wrong with people? Increasingly it seems like the world is full of idiots who have no desire for life other than to fuck around with other peoples’. Yesterday, I got mugged. They took a whole pound.

Instinctively, after you’ve left a situation, you start to analyse what might have happened had you handled it differently: “what if I’d ignored them”; “what if I’d given them my wallet”; “what if I’d planted my fist in his face”, and in circumstances like these, you realise that it could not possibly have gone any better, becasue there is no reasoning with lifeless, pointless beings such as these: they’re just looking to play around with you, and see just how far they can go.

Why is there no reasoning with them? Because from the very first moment, there is no reason for their actions; they will approach you, asking for a cigarette they don’t want, or the time they already know, and instantly move on to some gormless, unanswerable question like “do you think something’s funny?” - and what do you answer? “Yes, I find your face inexplicably funny.” It’s that or “no” and therefore, “yes, I am afraid of you”.

And from this moment on, there continues to be no reason behind the actions of - and therefore no reasoning with - these people; and you’re stuck.

What’s my point? I’m not even sure. I’m just angry. I’m just wondering how people can get through life, their only motivation being to play with other peoples’ - how can anybody live without a reason to live? Yesterday, someone made a pound’s profit from it, which, I’m sure, is an anomaly, since it’s not about money, or personal gain, or anything fulfilment, it’s just about making life difficult for the people who care about it.
