Why is it necessary for you to have an "issue" with people who approach life differently than you do? Does the fact that they seek to understand get in the way of your mindless enjoyment? Here's a suggestion: Try *just once* to write about some aspect of how you live your life without putting down any aspect of how other people live theirs. It won't be easy. It'll be like Dr. Strangelove trying to keep his arm from automatically shooting up in a Nazi salute. You seem unable to value your ideas and ways of being unless you can compare them favorably to those of others. You have tremendous difficulty seeing yourself on your own terms; you seem able to define yourself only in terms of how you're better than other people. If you resist this description, try the exercise I proposed. I think it'll be very revealing.
