I am a Man

I am a Man.
I do what I like.
And I don't like screwing up other people's life.
I respect those who earn my respect by respecting my freedom.
I like to deal with, help those from whom I get "value" in exchange.
Value can be anything that advances me in my life.
It can be money, goodwill, love or respect.
Value cannot be unearned.
Favour is not a value.
So is not power or force.
I do not initiate force.
Not for my advantage, not for any fun.
That should be enough.
That should be ALL you need to be a Man, or Human if you please.

But you impose upon me "duties", "responsibilities", "social contracts", "obligations", "accountability", "answerability", "sacrifices" for things I don't like, don't do and never asked for.
You want me to share your burden and guilts.
The burden that you took upon yourselves.
And the guilt that you did that.
You try to impose upon me your faulty and distorted notions.
You do that all the time and almost always win and get away with it too.
Because you are the majority.
And your notions of Right and Wrong are all inside out.
You rule by force.
You manipulate, sentimentalise everything.
You inflict mental tortures.
When that doesn't help, you cause physical pain.

But being the majority doesn't mean you are right.
It doesn't change what's right, no matter with what righteous and condescending air you lash your whips.
Your ignoring the facts doesn't alter the reality.
And your blindness doesn't blind me.
I see through your whips what you try not to see.
In my book, you are not fit to be called Man.
