"Hell hath no fury like a bean gone bad"....read on

I don't believe in mental masturbation. This seems odd but I don't think that it is too far removed from everyday life. not so much that I do not believe in it that I just frown upon it.
Lately I have noticed many people are doing this more and more often. like this guy I never really talk to except a few times. But the instance was on the profile he had that I was viewing was stating some books he likes and one was the "republic" and in parenthesis (Yes, I do enjoy reading greek philosophy). It's something about that that kinda bothers me. I know for certain that it wasn't the greek philosophy part because i am hoping to get into that sometime soon after i finish my contemporary philosophy reading material. I think the part that gets me is where he makes the note to tell the reader that he does in fact enjoy that, I assumed that by putting it in there we would get the point he does enjoy it. I would have liked that he put republic book in there but i never see it as a shock when people tell you of there enjoyments and expect you to be shocked. Am I supposed to be shocked? taken to a new level of understanding that would support you being different from "they"? who are they? I don't know. But they must not be worth it if simple things like that come as a shock.

or how about when people wear glasses? they were them sometimes and when you see a picture with them wearing their pieces and they leave personal comments that propose that they are ugly or that they wear glasses and so what? i'd hate to tell them that a lot of people wear glasses and that no one cares if your eyes are fucked up. but this might lower their self esteem. And I am not here to do that.
 and so on and so on....

oh i also like organic food (Yes I like to take care of myself through heatlhy food habits)
