Why am I not sympathetic with drunk people??!?!?!

The answer is REALLY simple…

They have asked for and some times deserve anything that comes their way. And let’s convene… does anything good ever comes drunk people’s way?

I am otherwise sympathetic with victims of drunk people… like the poor guy that got run over by a drunk driver, or the boy that got knifed by a drunk “gangsta”… even the girl that got pucked on whilst trying to help her blindly drunk friend trying to get to the loo.

OK, binge-drinking makes you “happy”, makes you lose the inhibition, gets you laid of whatever… but don’t forget there is always the day after, when you find out about the photos of you posted on the internet, or of the things that you did or were done to you (worse are the ones that you never find out but every one else knows), or things that you have said, or places you have ended up that you don’t remember… If you like to make a fool of yourself then it actually sounds GREAT doesn’t it? That is… If you like to make a fool out of yourself…

Am I sympathetic towards the girl that was raped BECAUSE she was so drunk she couldn’t do anything about it? Or the guy that found out he was mugged when he woke up sleeping in the curb somewhere in town? Or even the other person that ended up in prison , or worse…got hospitalized because was driving drunk and ran over someone or e totaled the car (or both)? What about the idiot that fell from the scaffolding or fell in the train tracks because his/her sense of danger and/or of balance has got so screwed up that it was unavoidable? Simple answer… nope!

Don’t take me wrong, it is not that I don’t care enough about people or that I would not like to do something to change that. On the contrary, it is because I care that my council is always: Put it in a balance, pros and cons… what weighs more? What’s worth doing? If you say getting drunk, then my friend… you seriously need to review your concepts of good and bad… Pity…

Nope I am not Square… I have done my just share of stupid things in my life, including there some things that most people would do only if drunk, and I did them sober. Some of them I am ashamed of, others I am proud of, most of them I couldn’t care less.

And nope… I am not some fanatic religious that says that drinking is a “sin” or “you’re going to hell because you are a drunkard(do people still use this word???) lol”! On the contrary, 1 – I like to drink a glass of whine or 2 once in a while, and I love Caipirinhas and Margaritas… Difference is, you will not find me drunk on it -Sometimes a bit lightheaded but not drunk. I know my limits. And I know enough about myself to be sober when I push them. 2 – I don’t really believe people will go to hell… Check the bible closer and you will find out that hell is reserved to Satan (the adversary) and his angels (demons). What happens to the “wicked”? Well, It is my opinion that they simply won’t wake up… From dust you came, to dust you will go back… The bible talks about eternal punishment, not eternal punishing like most believe… what worst punishment than simply ceasing to exist?

Now why am I going in a rant on that?!?!?! No idea… it simply popped in my head while I was trying to concentrate (and did not succeed for my despair) in getting some work done.

Call it a public service announcement… call it being bored… don’t mind… if it is good for you, keep it, if it doesn’t make sense, read it again, if it is no good and I am not gonna change your mind, well… Ive done my job… but remember me next time you make a fool out of yourself…
