Why keep these people around if they're a waste of space? Just because you're blood relatives? Fuck that, let them drift off into the sunset (or go yourself if they won't).
I’ve been wanting to do that for about a decade. I can’t tell you how many times I almost just packed up and left, but I wasn’t comfortable enough doing it. I almost joined a benedictine monastery when I was 24, because of how horribly I wanted to get away from him for good. I’m glad it didn’t work out. Most of the people were very nice, but the whole day, it felt like a cult, not to mention it’s a bunch of bullshit. I probably didn’t stop believing until I was about 26, although, I had doubts when I was 12 and didn’t really buy into religion for a few years when I was in my late teens and early 20’s.
That’s what I’m trying to do.. say, “Fuck him” I’m ignoring everything he’s sending me.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
