Each only does as he can. Observe the chad, his gainsome features instill gregarity from birth, he attracts and is attracted -- this is nature. Now, you do not sit in the sun alongside his lot, why? All things have their causes. Were you to examine your own abilities and history you would find patently clear how you came to A from B and vice versa. Being that you're on 4chan it is likely that you are not attractive, neither charming, nor interesting, not conditioned to be social, and generally an indolent pale pustule of a person. You are where you belong, and thus, of course, cannot be anywhere else.

This is a misleading analogy. A more accurate scenario would be...

>Imagine you are walking along your typical route to school and on the way you suddenly find the scene changed; before you now are millions of small pools with millions of drowning children in them. Other people are walking by as well, all quite perplexed. You observe how some of them wade into the muck and commendably save a child, but you also observe while they do so -- other children stray into other pools. Bewildered you remain transfixed and shortly you realize that many of these children were saved many times before, yet they defiantly return and return and plant themselves face first in these puddles. You realize this situation is beyond you and quickly run to gather help at your university. As you progress past the seemingly interminable and bizarre landscape dotted with drowning destitutes you notice something else. In the distance, on the very periphery of this demented scene there are is also a vastness of swarthy peoples, engaged in the process of producing more and more children seemingly with the sole intent of thrusting them towards the mire betwixt you and them. You hurry to warn them of the horror they are party to but upon finally arriving at their debauched coast you recognize the dejected faces of some of scholastic peers, regrettably they inform you that it would be fundamentally wrong to limit the doings of these folk and that even thinking to suggest such to them is a gross undermining of human decency likable to the barbarous customs of our ignorant predecessors and a proof of how far we have yet to go as a society. Panic seizes you. Your farsighted fellows inform you all is not lost, that the tribe is not without leadership and the low cost of 5$ a month is more than enough for Okonkwo and his ilk to be able pull out children and raise them on this side of the pools fulltime. Relieved you hand your wallet to the first fornicating coolie you see and return with your classmates hoping you're not late for your midday lecture.

Well, /lit/?
