Be the asshole you aspire to be!

You know that weird moment in your head when you want to punch somebody in the face? Yeah, I know that moment. In that moment, you really want to punch the guy or sometimes even a girl for no reason. Sometimes this may be provoked by a word or a phrase and sometimes maybe from some action like changing the channel while you watch TV. Rage gets the best of us but we suppress it. In my point of view you go for it. Be the asshole!

Let me say why. There are a lot of people out there with rage issues. Yes, I could be one of them or you could be one. Why am I saying this? I am saying this because the asshole inside us provokes us daily and at times it is not healthy to suppress all of these feelings. The increasing pressure of society, the life in the fast lane and the idea of being less than what we imagine brings out these issues. Yet we choose to ignore them. This leads to a major build up and after we cross a certain tipping point there is an incident like a rape, robbery or murder which will be danger to us and frankly to society.

Don’t get me wrong here. I am not saying that you should act on your impulse when you see a knife and want to jam it into the flesh of the guy beside you. But what I am saying is see a shrink. See a psychiatrist to handle your mental issues or at least talk to someone. If you have a breakup or fail in an exam or even have a boo-boo and if it makes you feel bad then just talk about it to your person of importance. Maybe it will help you get out of your dark place.

Stress is a big problem and most of the time it leads to self destruction like cutting your wrists or suicide maybe. But when we see accidents like rape and murder then we can be sure that those individuals who committed those crimes suppressed the assholes in them instead of facing the issues. This led to accidents that are so unfortunate it makes us feel bad. In USA according to CDC the number of people who visit the mental physicians yearly is 63.3 million published in the journal of 2012. Even in a society as advanced as USA people tend to care for themselves. Another fact regarding USA, it is country where most murders occur.

Even in country where health is a major issue, the system does not reach the desired people and there are so many murderers out there. We can certainly rule out in countries such as Nepal that the people are aware enough for physical health let alone mental health. So, what do we do when we do not have enough resources? Improvise!

There is so much action going in Nepalese politics, society and country as a whole that people are happy enough to be happy. Nothing makes sense and that is the reason why the phrase will be most applicable in Nepal because of the sheer lawlessness. Be the asshole you aspire to be because nobody wants to stop you.
