Rant: the return

 Hello fellow bloggers. It has been a very long time, but I’m back and have much to say.

I have gone through many changes since my last post. I have rediscovered myself but was hesitant to write my thoughts, mostly because I think that no one gives a shit about what I think. However, given that anyone who reads past this line might be remotely interested, I have decided to give this thing another try. I will attempt to write all the bullshit that I have trapped in my head on various topics. I will tell you, in all uncensored honesty what my theories, opinions, and philosophies are.

That being said, my first order of business is to rant about some of the things that bother me.

1. Fake people that don’t realize they are fake: If you willingly chose to be plastic, that’s fine. However, behavior that is repeated constantly will eventually stop being an act and become your real personality. Anyone who has the ability to introspect should always remember who they really are deep inside, and be aware of the risk of self conditioning. 

2. Robots posing as people: These people who have spent their entire lives conditioning themselves to follow the narrow, limited path of their choice have constricted and repressed their humanity in order to become a machine. There is no hope for these types of beings. They consider everything that life throws their way as an obstacle in their path to perfection. Instead of considering change and connection to other beings, they live lonely lives of high achievement. Some die in this mechanical state, and some discover it when it is too late to do anything about it.

3. People posing as robots: worse than being a robot is willingly wanting to be one. But not to worry. As I mentioned in #1, if you fake it for long enough, eventually you won’t be able to tell the difference anyway.

4. Crammed schedules: people need room to breathe. The quality of life in poorer countries is actually better. People live with less…compete less…enjoy more human contact…have bigger, closer families. They suffer and enjoy together. What good will ballet, piano, karate, gymnastics… and all of these admired activities that parents shove their children into…do if when they grow up they don’t know how to relax and breath. Many of them, later in life, just end up filling their schedules with therapist appointments and massage sessions in the desperate attempt to undo all the stress they have accumulated since childhood. Many drink too much alcohol or use drugs (prescription or otherwise) as a form of escapism.

5. Useless routines: a routine is a repetitive behavior that may be compared with obsessive compulsive behavior disorder. Spontaneity and a little uncertainty in life is not bad. If you know what you will be doing for the rest of your life, then what is the point of living?

6. Strict deadlines: any kind of strictness is devastating to the human condition. It limits the possibility for improvement and progress that flexibility offers.

7. Unchangeable minds: If you are incapable of being convinced otherwise, you are in serious risk of becoming a hopeless robot. Read more and read opposing arguments. Try to understand that every human has countless variables that have given them their continually malleable shape. There are so many reasons why people are who they are, but that doesn’t mean that they cannot change some aspects of themselves. 

This is only my opinion. I don’t live by these rules. But I feel, and therefore I am.

Till next time, whenever that may be…
