Coining of the term "users"

Defining each would be simple enough...but going beneath it means something else. When trying to understand the term users, it is someone who uses the things that you have for their advantage. These are the people whom self proclaimly have dominion or power over you to demand or even have the guts to ask. You might say that there is little that you can do because these people when they do not get what they want, talk back against you and destroy you and your dignity. This generalizes the idea that users are malevolent creatures never to have been created. When we use the term it usually comes with something like "can I use your..." it can't stand alone. It needs to have other words to support it. In analogy, users usually come in packs. To have more cloud of influence and control. They are also like bacteria, the ones which are opportunistic. Whenever opportunity strikes, they always grab it even though it is not for them or not intended for them. These people also have very low self esteem because they are insecure and immature. These are the people who cannot delay any gratification and garners gratification if individual need is being answered by other people. These people use the greatest defense "Accept me for who I am" but as everything else, people change. And in society where such behavior is never tolerated, accpetance is never the key to achieving personal dignity and self respect.
I don't want to be these kind of people. I think I almost became one. I am so happy that I didn't become one. I changed...I wish they would too...
