Well, it's been an interesting couple of weeks. I'll give you that. I've learned perhaps more than I ever wanted to know about what living humans are like. I have a lot to think about. Perhaps I don't have practice with the, for lack of a better word, range in humanity.

So, without further ado, things I have learned about humanity.

1. Even the simplest good person lesson can go over many of your heads. I really don't know how to break it down further. Lying, stealing, cheating, killing should really be pretty basic stuff. As you can tell by the lack of good person lessons, I've decided to put them on hiatus until I better understand how to make it clearer.

2. Most of you often say one thing but mean something completely different. Saying yes when you mean no, for example. I'm so confused I'm not even sure if it could be considered lying. Are the rest of you this confused all the time? It's terrible.

3. I want so badly to help all of you. It's clear to me that my methods may be bar too high for most of you to clear. So please, let me know how I can help you.

Your friend,
Michael

Saying yes when you mean no isn't a human thing, it's a fucking spineless thing where you want to be agreeable with everyone even if you don't give a shit about them. Anyone with that problem needs to get the fuck over themselves and learn to say what they actually want to say before the world eats them alive.

While I can't condone your choice of language, I believe the gist of what you're saying is absolutely correct. Saying one thing, when meaning something else, is not a good thing.

Thank you. I've been so rattled as of late I can hardly think straight.

Until they manage to excavate their heads out of the toiletbowl they're currently stuck in, you might try offering something only once and then telling them they can change their minds later if they want instead of trying to convince them. The little darlings can't always handle confrontation.

Did it ever occur to you that most of us don’t need or want your help?

Well that is a matter of perspective, isn't it?

Actually, it's not. Just 'cause you think we need help doesn't mean we do.

Now, now. I can state as a quantifiable fact that is not correct.

I'm gonna second the 'most of us are fine' thing, in that we don't need you to point out what we're doing, thanks.

Well then you'll have to excuse me for repeating myself.

If you truly did not want or need help, why comment on this post? You don't have to answer right away, but I want you to think about it. If you were so secure in who you are and your moral principles, would you really feel the need to write about it to me?

Just think about it.

Because you clog the shit up with your 'good person' bullshit?

If we're not out there murdering people, why does it matter if we're liars and cheats? Besides, if you're all 'higher being' and all that shit, shouldn't you have to stay outta our lives and let us do what we're gonna do anyway?

I agree on #2. It's frustrating. Not everyone does it, but too many people.

Number two is difficult. There's a number of reasons why, but it does happen a lot.

Did you explore Middle Earth at all?

No. I spent most of my time huddled in my room. There's been some culture shock when existing among mortals, to put it mildly.

That's a shame. It's pretty amazing here. I'm sorry you had such a shock living with mortals, maybe it'll get easier.

I think the problem is that you're trying to lump humanity all into one group, and you're basing what you're saying on just us. Most of us have had pretty unique experiences that the average person probably hasn't, and they affect us in different ways. So I'm not really sure you can say you learned all this about humanity, just...about the few of us you've talked to here.

Oh, I don't judge humanity as a group. Technically not even on an individual level, that's not my department.

Yes, as I explained earlier, I have been suffering from some culture shock. I understand that's common when finding yourself living somewhere in a different place than what you're accustomed to.
