(no subject)
This is probably the only serious entry I will ever make, but it has to be said. There are just too many people out there who are blinded by the stupidest things.
Today, someone was making fun of my friends because they were Middle Eastern and Asian. She classified them as "foreign." She also undermined me for being white, as she is too. I'm not sure if this was a joke or not, but it's a very good example of what I'm trying to say. The pigment in someone's skin doesn't mean anything. As much as you want it to, it doesn't and never will mean anything, aside from resistance to melanoma. People are who they are. There are divisions from cultures, yes. But that's what makes people so unique and intriguing. How is it that people have trouble seeing that everyone is the same!? Yet, people die for such divisions. Beliefs that shouldn't control one's lives rather than provide a crutch to support one's mental security. Recently, I heard that a Qu'ran was flushed down the toilet and one or two hundred people died. Give me a good reason why. Was anyone attacked? Do you feel this was an acceptable moment for retaliation? Or that the degree of retaliation was appropriate? If you really believe something, why do you need a book to vocalize for you? I'll vocalize right here without a book. I believe that people are people. I believe that people are judged by their morals, not by the amount of church that they go to. Be there a heaven or hell, I don't believe that one should substitute human morals for church obedience. If that makes me blasphemous, then I am. Pray if it provides guidance. Do whatever you feel helps you be a better person because you have the power to do that. As people, we have the right to do what we want to do, say what we want to say, and live how we want to live, a choice so freely given by the United States (now on referred to as America for typing purposes). A friend of mine condemns America because of its impacts on the world (namely Iraq) and its mistakes in the past. He's going to write a book soon and he already has a publisher and an editor. He's going to "expose the truth about America." BULLSHIT. If you dwell on such things, you lose sight of what's really important. Notice how he can only DO this in America because America is the only country that offers this opportunity. Live how you want because the opportunity is given. I deal with shit through humor. Right now, I'm not laughing. And chances are, no one else is laughing either. That's good because this isn't supposed to be funny. It's supposed to open your eyes. Some of you are already open, and that's good. But there will be at least 10 people who read this who will IM me and say that I'm stupid. That I think way too much about something that shouldn't be thought about to this degree. Those are the blind ones here. Those are the people who are going to go to school and worry about grades. They're going to worry about grades because without grades, they can't get into a college which will get them a good job. From 5-18, these are the people who spend life stressing over a job and money. Fuck off with your money. Fight Club can better explain this matter than I can. Don't get a job that you don't want to buy shit that you don't need. 5-18 is spent worrying. 18-50 is spent working for money to buy material possessions that create the illusion of happiness. 50-death is spent wandering where life went wrong. Think about it. You are forced to start deciding your future about at about 1/1th of your life span. Fuck that. I'm not saying to fail school or to just give up. I'm just saying to be happy while you go through school. You can't have the building blocks of your years composed of stress. Fuck off with your future "planning", material possessions, religion, judgment, and pressured obligations. Let life happen and be happy about it. Treat people with respect. Don't lose the ability to laugh at stupid things. I know way too many people that are too serious about school. I'm going to take this Jane Eyre test tomorrow and I'm probably going to fail. Does it change me as a person? Will I be less happy because I will fail this test? Because I know I will. But that is only because it was my choice. I chose that it wasn't important. Money is not important, either. It's a nice thing to have, but it shouldn't define one's life. Divisions are not important. Judgment is not important. Syntax is not important. Humor is important. Perception is important. Recently, I've been hypocritical. In fact, I have been blinded, too. I've been focused on something that I felt that I had to do for 3 weeks. Why? This doesn't make me happy. Even after I do this something, I won't be happier. My life doesn't improve because of this. My happiness isn't enhanced by doing my math homework.
You may disagree with me. But these are MY beliefs. Worries and stress only cause blindness. Go ahead and worry if you want, though. You have the choice to do that. I have the choice to believe what I believe. So do what you choose. Live how you want. Normally, my entries are designed for humor. People from across the country send me IMs about how much joy my journal brought them. That little moment of joy that humor brings, THAT'S what life is. The fact that someone can accept something like that with such levity, those are the people who see clearly. Normally, I write humor. They laugh. Everyone has done their part. And the moment is over. However, this transition, which will be condemned by no less than 10 people, this alters perception. This moment lives on for quite a while. People who are blinded see. People who are lost find ideas to cling to. Crutches for mental security. Maybe someone will find it easier to pursue happiness because of this. I've already sent half of this article to a couple of people; they've quoted me in their profiles. These are the people who don't have daily exposure to a pensive moment. The people who are too caught up in their worries to just stop for a second from the constant chaotic derangement and think about how to attain happiness. These are the people this is aimed towards. I've done my part. Just stop and think for a second from now on.
