have tried much, have tried to do something just because i KNOW that it is what i should, or to not do something because i know i shouldn't, but it's only ever been through experience that i truly learn anything, that i actually change. i really really can't follow rules, and i don't mean just like religion and law-wise, i mean like whenever someone offers advice. i can only follow feeling-intuition, or i feel so restricted that i soon burst out on whatever i feel is trying to close in upon me, it's like my most instinctive reflex. general 'advice' is a bad idea as far as i see it, because everything is situational. moments are what you decide them to be, but really it is all just one big and small moment eternal moment/space. advice is not what i need, it is sympathy. perhaps i am not quite at a place where i can accept guidelines and follow through with them. perhaps i just will never want to. the human mind is an incredible thing, by incredible i do not refer to good or bad, just magical, because we have the ability to reflect upon our own thoughts and feelings. and you know what i see that this has brought? mostly evil. lies, manipulation, cruelty, greed. people talk about animals as if they were so inferior because they lack this ability. i laugh a cynical laugh while i think that in fact WE are supremely inferior for the fact that we DO have this capacity and yet are much more vile than any violent predator. we deceive others. we deceive ourselves. we create devices that cause mass destruction or that torture others, sometimes for no other reason than to watch them suffer, most of the time with the root cause of greed. people who are trying to fill a void with no name, a void they avoid looking into because it has "fear of the void" written all over it. (it's like they convince themselves somehow that if they keep gathering more and more at some point they'll have so much that they can't possibly ever lose it). so how dare we still say that we are the most intelligent species on the planet? really? is there any possible way to be a bigger hypocrite? yes, i would choose to be a savage animal a thousand times over than to be cold and calculating liar of a human ever again IP: Logged |

it wouldn't be fair not to mention unconditional love. that IS a state of mind that only a human mind can reach; beyond the unconditional love of a mother for its offspring, i mean like the love that Jesus showed, or Buddha spoke of. but i feel it's a horrible disgrace how everything Jesus said seemed to get twisted into all sorts of things; most of which go against what he was trying to say.i other words, love is a beautiful place humans can reach. but it's hard for me to see that happening when our fragile natural green world seems doomed to either die slowly or be quickly destroyed by a few protons and neutrons being forced apart. and i don't want to say we need a miracle to save us...because, we already have the miracle. the problem is, that most people don't see it, and they happen to be the ones who hold the power. so what can i do but shut up and watch, in a world where words always get twisted?
