The Idea of "Us"

"I guess you haven't noticed lately but its a "me" world. You want a relationship but you don't even consider the fact that its about what I want from you. With Myspace and things like ipods almost everything I could possibly think about in this fucked up world is directed towards what I want. I just don't see the "us". Not only is "us" a scary thing but unrealistic. How could I ever put you first? Even while saying this I started with myself. I've been told to be myself my whole short miserable existence. Never have I heard be "us". This love thing everyone talks about so adoringly has never been an "us" thing. Its about how I feel when I'm with you. Sometimes I feel great most of the time so-so. Basically hating the fact that I'm afraid of butchering this thing I have with you. Notice I didn't say "we". There is no "we". Never will be. There's I and you not you and I. I figure if I repeat this a little more you'll give up on the "us". Remember there is no "us". Please just imagine how I feel when you say "we" need to talk about "us". How could you just put two of my no-no words in a sentence? Why don't you go curse in church too! I didn't want to talk about "us" but you insisted. For some reason you feel like I'm not serious about "us" and that this isn't a game for you. That's where you start to lie. Everything's a game and it seems I'm being told to win it everywhere I turn. I know your heart is not a trophy. It is an organ it pumps for you to live. Given to me to put on display to glorify "us". To declare "us" as a team. There is no "I" in TEAM but there's a "me". That's all that really matters.... me. For you to give me your heart is committing suicide. "

There's no "I" in coherency and no "U". There's just a big fat "why?" at the end.
Does it matter that everyone's in it for themselves? Doesn't it make sense that in a society that places individual freedom on a pedestal, people are fracturing off and looking purely for personal fulfillment?
It's the way of the world, over wand over again.
Isn't it ironic that you post this whinge on this site? This whole website's just an excuse for villag-square navel-gazing.

We knew that already you big retard, check the FAQ.

As for the rest of your sociological mini-drivel and misuse of the word "irony": Err?
