Need we care so much about the opinions of judgemental pricks, who, after you scratch beneath the surface, are nothing but hollow fools concerning themselves with the affairs of others to fill in the vacuums of their minds? The petty interests in mortal affairs, beyond but the temporary, inconsequential interest serving the sole purpose of expediting the passage of time, particularly those of those whom you are acquainted with personally (which renders it all the more despicable), merely reflects a shallow and repugnant nature.
