snooch to my bootches!
So, yeah, I'm being all pathetic right now. I'm all sitting around avoiding my old poetry teacher so I don't have to do anything while painting these goblins. Sometimes I think it's a waste of my "vision" (now I feel like an idiot) to be painting these little guys, but there's just something about them that inspires me to work. I dunno if that sounds like a sane reason to waste my art time on them instead of something like actual painting or, God forbid, writing, but anything that inspires me is a potent catalyst indeed. Wow, I'm typing without looking at the keyboard so I keep putting down words that I don't want to use like insidious...
Anyway, I'm not up to a whole lot over here. I've been thinking about a few things pertaining to perception that I shall now bestow upon you peons. Well, I have this belief that nobody is in any way better than anyone else. I don't just mean that we're all equal figuratively, but quite literally. I don't believe that anyone who "isn't good at math" is in any way worse at math than say an astrophysicist. Now, I'm not trying to downplay the astroblablabla's talents, but it's just the way I approach life. Instinctively, I think anyone can do anything without any doubt. That's all I'm saying. Nobody can naturally do anything better than anyone else nor are they naturally attuned to any one thing over another. Sure, disposition comes into play, but that's not what I'm talking about.
Now, with that said I'll address some other stooooooof. Because I think that nobody is better at anything than anyone else, black and white judgment really ticks me off. I hate the mindset that thinks "because this is this, ergo this is only this." For example, if someone is small and fast, they are neither strong nor tough. This sort of thinking REALLY ticks me off, even though I can understand it. For those of you familiar with RPGs or some reasonable facsimilie, you can understand this way of thinking. If you choose to have high DEX, you'll probably have low STR. Whether this is due to class allocation or just general system, it doesn't matter. These things are put in place to give balance to games. Well, guess what? Life is NOT a fucking game. Not everything is balanced in that way. By my logic, if someone tried hard enough, they could be strong, fast, tough, small, purple, etc. and I prefer to think this way. Now, I know I'm not correct, but we'll discuss my fallicies later. Anyway, I also understand that black and white thinking is valid as, at a glance, it can be quite an accurate way to evaluate something/someone, but I truly do despise the whole way of thinking.
Furthermore, I'm conscious that I have based my opinion that everybody is equal in terms of potential (I prefer not to use that term as the connotation allows people to constrew its meaning and pass it off as insubstantial) is based upon how I relate the world to myself. I know that the reason why I'm not fast, strong, or exceptional at math is because I don't like them. When I don't like something, I ignore it and you cannot grow in areas you ignore. Now, since the way I come to conclusions about the world in forums that I cannot actively gather anything but supposition is to relate how I personally react, this self-observation has strongly influenced the opinion I was stating about about equality. I also know that other people come to conclusions through different methods and even those who do the same thing as me view their reactions differently than I view mine and so, inevitably, come to a different conclusion. Does this obvious flaw deter me from thinking the way I do? Hell no! If I changed my opinions based solely on if I'd figured out that it's fundamentally flawed or not, I'd be in deep water. This isn't to say that I don't give careful consideration to the merit of the flawed principle, but I do find that sticking by my guns instead of dispairing at the realization that everything I believe in has several fundamental is the better choice of the two.
Anyway, I've kinda lost my train of thought and my atrocious spelling is getting to me now so I'll be stopping, but I hope some of you try thinking about what you believe in after this. That's not to say that you aren't or haven't, but I do hope it means that you'll increase the degree now.
