On redefining words

"It's funny to me when people define racism as prejudice + power. No. That is not the definition."

Weak people will use the power of words to gain power, because they have nothing else going on for them. The accusation of racism has power, they just have to change the criteria so it includes them to have that power; they define it so it suits their needs. Everyone else has to change for them, because they don't have the self-discipline to better themselves. i.e. "You should make the world better for me."

It is a way to feel important without actually being important. Sure they are very important to themselves, but the realization that you'd actually have to be important to others in order for them to consider you important, is too painful to admit. It is easier to outsource the pain of making yourself happy than to confront it and work on it by yourself.

It's funny how they are selfish beyond belief, but not selfish enough to focus on improving themselves; they aren't selfish enough to stop being so overtly dependent on others, to stop being weak and whiny.

They feel they are better than everyone else, thus everyone should serve their needs, because their dream is better than everyone else's. Whereas a truly superior person would do the heavy lifting themselves for their personal happiness, because no one else can do it better than them (that's what being superior is: being able to do it better than anyone else) i.e. "I know what I want, and I'm going to get it. That way I know it is up to my own standards."

Just stop chasing other people's admiration and acceptance, the only one you need is your own - the rest will follow. If you need to show everyone, to flaunt, to project, to announce how proud you are of yourself, then you are doing it wrong: You are just seeking for other people's acknowledgement and validation of it so you finally can believe it yourself, it's fake pride born out of insecurity and self-doubt. Being yourself, by definition, is being different from everyone else, thus you are bound to have adversities and to not being validated by others. No one can give you self-ownership, you have to give it to yourself by yourself.

TL;DR: It is easier to talk than to do. Other people are as much responsible for your happiness as you are for theirs. No one will work for you nor for your success, they are too busy working out for themselves and for their own success. Earn your own admiration.

Now excuse me I have to go arrange my sock drawer.
