Inu's Rant Space

Well, I realize that this is a different community to rant about stuff, so I figure I'll update this more often. My blog's nice, but it's no good when I want to talk about the people that can read it. :shifty:

I've a simple question: Why do language and cultural barriers provide more of a challenge to overcome than anything else in the world? Is it because it's so ingrained into people that they're not willing to change? *sigh* I don't know. I've been trying to go into this with an open mind, but there's something about the culture that's really pissing me off. It's the degree that you hide things about yourself and the degree where you show/hide compassion...

Regardless, regarding some people here at school, I'm getting annoyed by all the walls and masks I deal with daily. I can understand wanting to be civil and can even understand not wanting to cause a fight, but ultimately, getting things out in the open allows for a healing process, does it not? I've been nothing but nice/helpful for these guys because I want their times in America to be amazing, but in the end, I'm just taken advantage of and ultimately pushed aside once they've used me enough... It's not a great feeling, let me tell you.

Also, in terms of the compassion issue, there was a physical incident between me and my roommate that broke out into him pushing me back twice. Regardless of how we acted and what could've been changed, the gossip surrounding the incident has spread throughout the general population and I've been getting stink eyes and 'snarky' comments from people whom weren't even involved. It's absolutely ridiculous. At least see both sides of the incident before you judge, otherwise, don't bloody judge at all, amirite?

*sigh* I don't know, but it's ultimately making things awkward here at school and it's ridiculous. =/
