The strongest

October 3, 2006

The strongest of all men is one who could live without people. I have supported that with a quote in a previous post.

Now here is what I think… I believe the quote does not inspire people to let go of each other. In fact I see it pretty much inspires cooperation. It only inspires people to be strong enough not to be affected by the absence of others. If people wanna let go the only reflex action we should have is to send them away without even the bullshit of “if they come back it is meant to be” (if it is love) or “it is true friendship” (apparently if it is friendship).

Simply if it is meant to be, people wouldn’t leave in the first place. If it is true friendship you won’t end up sold out.

So if someone lets go, let go and if they come back kick the crap out of them and then let them out of your door again cause:

  1. People never change. If you let them in again they will act like total asses all over again.

  1. It is entertaining to kick the crap out of someone.

  1. They don’t deserve to stay in your life once they are out, the first time.

Worrying… A guide to stupidity…

October 3, 2006

I was thinking a while ago of how people act under various circumstances, particularly stress. I was also thinking of how I act and comparing it to how people act.

Worrying, the worst trait you can possess and believe me I am the biggest evidence, I have passed through the various phases of being a worrier. There are three types of worriers:

  1. People who worry a lot and let it affect their happiness and their content with any moment in life.

Look at it this way, you get a baby, you are celebrating his birth and instead of being happy, you sit there and worry about how you are gonna send him to college a zillion years later. Here is what I think; I love people with plans, people who have an idea about how they want the future to be but well not to the extent of turning every moment in their lives into a living hell.

Been there, was that person, hated it, it is unbelievably dissatisfying.

  1. People who worry in moderation unless someone else adds to the stress and makes everything seem dark and tainted in blood.

Well imagine the same situation only instead of you worrying, you know you gotta plan something for the kid until your wife comes up to you and starts nagging about how your kid will drop out if school because you are fucking stuck in a dead end job or whatever other reason that she sees.

I have come to believe that most of the time people tend to have a negative influence of each other’s morale and hence I believe you should cut people’s words off your mind when you see that coming.

Again some time not so far in the past, I have been that person, I have quit that too.

  1. People who worry in moderation, not letting all the shit around affect them and letting things flow until things get really shitty and that is when they start worrying for real yet they have some self control while doing that. Even better, sometimes they are in full control they could smile amidst hell and find a way out.

Those I guess are the best, those are the winners and I am proud I have finally evolved into being one of them…

The thing is there are still some things that makes me worry badly, sometimes I just can’t control it but I have come to develop those feelings of coldness deep inside, feelings enough to run through life without letting anything (At least a big deal of things) affect me. I was thinking today of situations I am being put into and I have come to see life differently. And well, I feel a lot better now that I do.

Prosecute That Juror

September 15, 2006

Didn’t you ever think that in the trial of someone convicted as a killer the jury may include someone who did kill before? And even though he is a killer who would never want to be caught would convince the rest of the jury that the man being prosecuted is probably guilty for some reason or the other. He may do that regardless of whether the man is guilty or not.

The question would be why? Let’s see a person who has some thing wrong with him wants to see people all wrong or at least wants to prove to the rest of the community that all those others are as wrong and full of crap as (s)he is. “This is total bullshit,” you would say. Well let’s look at it this way, let’s look at human reactions in normal situations away from our court of law example.

You may look around and see a liar call someone else a liar, a dishonest man call some other man dishonest, a person full of shit call everyone else full of shit, a whore calling another woman a whore and that is always done regardless of the fact that the other person being labeled a liar, dishonest, full of shit, a whore may or may not possess the quality they are labeled to have.

The thing is people love to judge, they love to give labels to other, they apparently adore giving advice and acting like wiseasses in areas in which they fail to conquer like they demand others should and yet they hide behind their words, those words of advice that makes them believable to most people, those words of judgment that makes them seem like angels and our human tendency towards believing the bullshit we listen to makes it easier for others to judge and demand an be listened to.

Believe me now? Well, what a fucked up jury you would have if you were innocent but prosecuted before that jury with the one man who did a crime similar to that you are being prosecuted for? Wouldn’t that be a mess? What would you do about it?

Now, say your prayers and wish you are never there… It is not where you wanna go…

People

September 9, 2006

What have I to say about people? I believe in the goodness that is by nature part of people. I believe they are supposed to be good and respectful by default yet like any thing nowadays people change the default settings.

Think of people as software, they have certain settings at installation, the default settings and yet you have the choice to change those settings, you always have the tools menu through which you could reach the settings or the options window. Even easier sometimes there is an options button right there to create a change.

The only difference between a human being and a computer program is that usually programs have the choice of restoration of default settings. Humans on the other hand don’t have that, once they change in the direction of the worse ‘cause a human’s basic nature is composed of the optimal settings, they could never go back, they could never go back to default, the default button is usually missing or more like rarely existent.

We, the human race, have become self centered we don’t care about each other, we only care about our very own benefits, everything is pure business to us. Love is some kind of business we do, there is always something material behind our actions, if not money we have something else in line to be acquired. We wanna have everything thinking that that would create the happiness we have always hoped for, yet we never end up happy, what a mess…

Sometimes I just wish time stopped when I was a young kid, when all I cared about was candy, when all I wanted was nothing but a couple of toys and when all I wanted was to go out to some park with my parents to play with the other kids. I did play, we did enjoy the slides and the toys and then we grew up, no more slides, no more toys, yet we play, only now we have our own games, ones that sickens us, yet we love them for our very own good, the good that we think we are achieving, knowing not we have achieved nothing, we have nothing and we will never get to anything. We just keep failing and blaming it on others cause we no more have the courage to face ourselves in our mirrors and say it out loud, “You have been a failure, dumb ass.”

The Dalai Lama once said, “I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction.”

Screwed Souls

September 7, 2006

When some people really annoy you and really discuss you and you feel like fucking up with their lives and you know you can and yet you hold yourself back then you know you have a great deal of ethical and moral considerations when you treat others and that is something others should respect…

When you try to avoid kicking someone’s ass or pissing them off even though they have been nothing but jerks and dumb-asses in the past and they are even so in the present then you are kind enough to let go of people’s crap ‘cause your open mind let’s you know they are insignificant people, minor and worthless…

But when people fuck with you and try their best to turn your fun into some kind of stupid, fucked-up moment, and turn your joy into sorrow and the respect for you into a mere joke, then they want you to hate them, they want you to fuck their lives up, they want you to kick the crap out of them, but more important they want you to be as pathetic as they are, as psychologically unstable as they are, as fucked-up and lost as they are. Those people are nothing but weeds, germs that lives on making you ill and sick to your stomach. These people only need either your greatest level of hatred and anger against them or to be totally ignored by your very confident self and your very respectful self. I say ignore them, when you ignore a barking dog you anger him more and when you do believe you me, you are the only winner at the end of the day.

I quote Hamlet here:

“Let Hercules himself do what he may, the cat will meow, and dog will have his day”

The next time I am annoyed I am coming after you, with some sharp object…

They Saw Me

September 4, 2006

They saw me sit on my knees, they saw my eyes, they watched my tears, they saw my hands lifted and pointing towards the heavens, they saw me mumble some words; they heard me read my thanks. They saw me and they wondered who is it I was thanking and what is it that I was thanking him for. They stood there fearful to ask, they thought I was crazy, they thought I was insane. They thought I was different. They looked at me, they stared, they gazed, I stayed, on my knees with my hands still lifted and my lips doing their thanks.

And then they got the courage, to cut through my prayers and to ask. They only said two words, ‘Who’ and ‘Why’ and they knew I would understand, they knew I could see them gaze and stare, and to their surprise I answered, “I am thanking God, I am just glad, I am happy to be me, I am thanking Him for making me different, making me like none of you and that way through life I know you are all enslaved and I am fortunate, for I am free.”

The Circus

September 2, 2006

Why need to watch a show in a circus when there is a show out there for free, in open air?

Why observe somebody jump hoops when people do that for acceptance all around you, when people do that begging for attention, for money, for the approval of everyone all around?

Why go to see a clown? Isn’t a clown some guy in the disguise of a big nose and colors covering his face? Aren’t we all the same? Aren’t we all clowns showing a face that is not ours, a color that we may or may not like?

Why watch someone dance over a rope above a fire when people would dance over hell for you, dance naked on the streets for the love of material, for the extreme love of life and desire?

Why think you could earn money by being a clown in a circus if the world is only a greater circus, why would anyone pay to walk in and watch you, when they can watch all that and more for free?

Kiss My Ass

September 2, 2006

They keep watching you with their imperfectly perfect eyes, making opinions and drawing conclusions and deciding on your behalf what you are and what you could be, your abilities and your limits, and then they speak it out loud; yell it in your face, thinking that they are invincible.

They are the perfect imperfects, only they think they are the first, you know they are the second, and the truth is they are the result of bringing both words in one phrase, PERFECT IMPERFECTS.

People who love to be judge usually know their poison kills, usually know that sometimes their shit hurts and hence they hate to be judged back. They hate the notion of you turning back to them and saying, “Hey, you did this, or did that.”

It is when the “How dare you talk to me that way” statement comes in handy.

But what you would hate most is what people do when they judge you, give you lessons about what you usually do and then you see them doing the same and maybe even worse.

Well Sir and Lady Judge A Lot, Kiss My Ass… I am done caring about what you or others judge me for… And I you can’t be me stop your envy and start living in peace…

Couldn’t Care Less

September 2, 2006

Someone keeps nagging about his life, or brag about a fucking story that you don’t even care remotely about and you may still listen…

I have known people throughout my life who would ask you to stop talking when you bore the hell out of them, who would tell you that they couldn’t care less but I usually listen and try to accept the fact that I am stuck knowing how someone kicked someone’s ass in some place far away, or how someone did something weird to someone with a big nose and a couple fat cheeks.

Why the hell should I listen? Maybe cause I am polite and I wouldn’t love embarrassing someone. I am not even that polite to keep listening but I do stay and I do listen.

If I don’t tell people I couldn’t care less, could they start making an effort to sense that I don’t and I may never in the future do? Could they not start reading the obvious signs all over my face and on my forehead? Do I have to inform them that bored is my middle name? I think we all gotta stop when people seem to want and demand our silence even if in unspoken words…

A Word of Advice

June 28, 2006

What is it that you want from your life? Will you always want to have everything while you never give anything back? Why are you running? What are you running from? Is it responsibility? Is it the truth about yourself that you never wanna face cause you will see how ugly a person you are and how selfish a human you have always been? Why don’t you stop complaining and start acting like a fucking responsible person, someone who can take responsibility for hi/her actions and work on proving they have the guts to do something good.

Can’t you for once stop being selfish and just look around you and thank God for the blessings He has bestowed upon you? Why is it so hard to believe in something and orient yourself to have principle? Why can’t you stop thinking you are so fucking special? Why can’t you stop believing that your life is like hell when actually you make people’s life more like hell? Why are you just too stupid to realize the truth about yourself?

Are you depressing about stuff? Do you plan on jumping off a cliff, out of the window or maybe shooting yourself? Well I think you better go ahead or stop for a moment and defend your life. Stop being selfish, self centered, self obsessed and full of shit and start taking responsibility for your life and actions and for once in your God Damn fucking life get real and be all normal.

And Well,

Count the blessings God has given you and if you have a blessing you have not been thankful for,
Then you better start being the least bit grateful to God,

If you love your parents, and well you should, and if they are still alive thank God they are, some people are already orphaned before birth and some get it along the way and some may love their parents more than you even love yours and they see them die.

If you have a dream, then thank God you have one and start trying to achieve it instead of nagging over the fact that you can’t cause simply you can’t just because you sit your ass around waiting for someone else to accomplish your dream for you and waiting for someone else to achieve for you because your lazy ass can’t move around and take action.

If you find your daily food needs then thank God, that is a privilege many people do not get to have.

If you love someone then hold on to him until he/she knows you do and starts loving you back an if he/she already feel the same way for you then thank God you have this blessing.

If you have friends who care about you then thank God you do cause I have once read a wise quote that goes around the lines of, “He who has got one true friend has got more than his share.”

If you have a job that covers your expenses look at those who suffer unemployment and get on your knees and thank God for giving you that.

If you have a child raise him well and count him a blessing you gotta thank God for cause some people lie their entire lives wishing to have one and never get the privilege.

And if you wanna be happy remember that everyone has got his fair share in this world and the world hereafter and that everything is a matter of effort and choices and if you choose o be happy be sure you will and that God will never fail you cause God is fair.

Count God’s blessings that you have been given and believe it or not if you start the count you will never be able to stop cause I believe those are infinite.

And well if you insist on keeping your dumb ass selfish attitude then, I don’t know, maybe you should all go fuck yourselves.

If not then like I told you, defend your lives,

What should I toast for this time???

Well here is to you,
And here is to me,
And here is to Hope, Dreams and Faith,
Here is to being thankful,
And here is to possibilities…
