What about life?
I’ve been thinking that people are born or created or whatever. Right? Whatever the process, we’re here. Now we are probably the only thing on this planet, though not necessarily native to, that thinks about what we’re doing. We sometimes ponder what we’re doing, going to do, or have done in the past. Why, you may ask? Well, I’m asking.
I just know that I was not put here to go through public school (ugh!), then college, the go work in some office doing other people’s bidding creating inane things and paperwork. Some might see one person’s ‘inane’ as another’s ‘insane’. When are we supposed to live? On the state mandated 15 minute breaks after 4 hours of work?! Or after we have worked our 7 months to pay for one year of taxes for things we don’t get or control? Maybe during that 1/2 hour lunch during which we wolf down our processed food, poison drinks, and sugar, so we can stay awake till our shifts over? Some people get to live a little better. They get an hour for lunch, maybe two if you live in Europe. Maybe during the 6-7 weeks vacation you get working in Europe. Forget about that in the USA. We’re productive! What does production have to do with living? If we were really smart, wouldn’t we find a way to take 6-7 weeks off from our JOBS? Be smarter and set up a system or group of people to handle the work while we were away. 40 years of working so that you can retire on savings (HAHA) and then do nothing but sit around or play some low impact sport so we don’t hurt ourselves in the fragile condition we have found ourselves in. 40 years wasted, when we could be developing our interests, talents, personality, and friendships. Creating communities we can live in. Building the homes we can raise and pass on to our children. Is that what we are giving up for minimum wage or 100k a year? The question really becomes, “What is your life and time worth?”. How much do you value you and your life? Well, I value me above all other things. There is only one of me and no one else makes me healthy, happy, wise, rich, safe, secure, free except for ME!
Life. It’s a mighty long time. One brief experience after the next. It is as short as you let it be. I don’t believe we should let a few groups tell us how things are in our lives. Whether it be the economy, our health, or who our enemies are! Is it really so simple to IGNORE OUR OWN MINDS? Why have we let other people, including our parents (if you are older than 12), tell us what is truth? Isn’t the point to living DISCOVERY? We will discover the truth because we are the ones who get through the final barrier of our minds and convince us that it is true. Some try to bypass the barrier by getting straight to your subconscious (whatever that is) to give you their version of truth.
Is truth so complicated that you have to sell it in a 30 second commercial, a magazine ad, billboard, or over years of repetition through the rote methods our schools employ? I AM GLAD THAT I AM NOT IN THE SCHOOLS OF TODAY. If any truth ever snuck into those institutions (like mental institutions, the way they are run with security, pharmaceuticals, and social engineering) there would be too many people thrown out office and banks shut down. I don’t want to be socially engineered to be a good citizen for someone else’s vision. THE VISION MUST REALLY SUCK IF THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO SHARE IT OPENLY.
How is that a Republic? Democracies are for groups of people too stupid to know what they want for themselves and their children. These people give themselves over to other less informed charismatic individuals who are the face of organized crime. For who else would systematically steal from people with no benefit to the victims. A true Republic is about RESPECT. It is not about “tolerance”, “social justice”, “equality” or “political correctness”. We do not tolerate people, they are individuals, as we, and we either respect them or don’t interact with them. There is no social justice because society cannot be harmed, only individuals. Equality is an excuse for people to stop trying and to be treated as wards, slaves, or as imbeciles incapable of making decisions. If you want to be equal, then strive to be better. There is no bar. That is also an excuse. Politics is about rhetoric, not truth, and giving people the illusion that acting as a uninformed group is better than acting as an informed individual.
I want time to live, to discover and sometimes to just be. I want to listen, feel, and give. I want to receive whatever I am here for.
