Rudeness upsets me most. Too many Americans act as if they are the only people in the world even though they live in a world where we need to share everything. People push others aside, but in line, drive aggressively, fail to say "please" or "thank you," yell on their cell phones in public, and display a whole host of other rude behaviors. I believe the world would be a much better place, if people were a little more civil and a little more polite.

People who eat meat. If everyone were vegetarian, almost all our problems would be solved:

-- no starving people, because livestock consumes 70% of grain produced in the world
--no global warming, because cows produce 18% methane in the world, more than from transportation
-- no animals would be needlessly suffering.

It really gets me upset when I think about it. There are fake meats that taste exactly like meat, so I don't know why more people aren't vegetarian.

Consensual Validation

The two components of the cultural anxiety-buffer are viewed as somewhat arbitrary, and therefore fragile, social constructions that require continual consensual validation in order to function effectively (Pyszczynski, Greenberg, Solomon, 1999). The mortality salience hypothesis suggests that people have especially positive reactions to anyone or anything that supports what they believe in (cultural worldview), and especially negative reactions to anyone or anything that threatens it (Pyszczynski, Greenberg, Solomon, 1997). In order to reduce the anxiety associated with conscious thoughts of our own death, we seek out people and things that will validate our cultural worldviews and thereby increase our self-esteem. The basic finding that mortality salience leads to worldview defense has been consistently replicated, and this has been obtained using different manipulations of mortality salience and measuring different aspects of cultural worldviews (for a review, see Florian & Mikulincer, 1997; Nelson, Moore, Olivetti, & Scott, 1997). To the extent that self-esteem provides protection from deeply rooted anxieties about one’s vulnerability and mortality, increasing self-esteem should reduce the tendency to employ defensive maneuvers to deny one’s vulnerability and mortality (Greenberg, Pyszczynski, Solomon, Pinel, Simon, & Jordan, 1993). Basically, once anxiety over death has been reduced by making ourselves feel good about who we are and what we stand for, the urgent need to seek further consensual validation tends to decrease.

People that are arrogant, who think they are better than everyone else and think the world revolves around them. Bullies that are cruel just for the sake of it or because they are more powerful. And any kind of abuse of the weaker, the innocent and especially animals.

Anyone who goes out of their way to expend so much energy to feel superior to the rest. Little do they know that as they do, they behave in the most of inferior ways.

Guilty feeling.

I find myself totally unable to bear the pain of realizing that I did something wrong. I can't forgive myself easily.
