meaning?

I take things too literally. It's because I am literally a person. Literally, but not quite. Maybe it's just my nature. I can't think of any good excuses. I know I shouldn't do that, because generalizations usually end up killing people. But I still do it anyways. I think I generalize problems to minimize them, which means that I interpret my generalizations to be fact and this is where my literal interpretation arises. I know you know what I know, therefore I am assuming that everything you say is true. I realize that people have a tendency to hide their emotions, to cower in fear of being discovered; when in all actuality this is counter-productive to enhancing the overall satisfaction that someone has with their life.
I can give you an example. If you are talking with someone and they get upset because you have asked them a question, they will react by either; a.) acting out violently or b.) shutting themselves off from you.
With this in mind, it is easy to understand why people are so depressed, sad, overwhelmed with this existence. There are too many hidden variables and secrets. Our society has become too self-focused and people are dying because of it. There is a world war going on right now, whether you are ready to admit that or not. Digging your head in the sand isn't going to save you from the question. Neither will blowing up the inquisitor. It is my understanding that if we, as a society, are able to rekindle the important bonds of community then we will be able to prosper as a people and a nation. Although, the course we are set upon at this time is leading ultimately to one thing, chaos. Maybe I do take things too literally, but that's kind of the point.
