A quick take on satire

Who you are today is just a product of the choices you made yesterday. The choices you made yesterday were simply a projection of the influence of experiences in your past. You experienced the things you did in the past because of decisions you made that put you there. You learned how to make those decisions because you watched someone make those same ones before. So, basically, if you hate yourself, blame everyone else around you. Blame the people who you watched hate themselves just as much. Blame your neighbors and parents and friends and aunts and uncles for not teaching you differently. Blame your teachers and doctors and cousins and brothers for not stopping you when you were still young.

That makes sense, right?

But if you love yourself, well, that is all your own doing. After all, you are in control of your own destiny! The world is your oyster! You somehow managed to make it through the banter of your parents and neighbors. You saw the lies in your doctors advice, knew when to disobey your teachers. Only you have control over who you are today, and honestly, you did a fucking great job.

That makes sense, right?
