Aren't You Just the Smartest In the World
I'm not quite sure why I didn't come to this notion earlier in life. Well I know why, but telling you now would prove my point before I even came to it. Well here's the point. At this moment no one has been further in time than you.
I was laying around in my unemployed pathetic depression. You know, where you find yourself curled in a ball at 2 in the afternoon changing the blinds to assure no sunlight comes in to remind you that you're wasting the day moping. All this while trying to figure out why you're unemployable, which spins into "what is wrong with me" notions, quickly followed by "where did my life go so wrong, what could I have changed, etc." Well today I realized that I was in the middle of my pity party and I kicked myself out of it, cleaned, sent in some more applications, and felt somewhat productive. While this was happening I realized that I have no idea what I could have changed, and I won't until I slip out of this world and finally have some answers for all this insanity. For now I just need to quit the whining crap, what would make this so much easier would be if the "advisers," quite frankly, would shut the fuck up.
An adviser can be explained as so: anyone (known by you or not) that feels as if they have mastered some part of life and should shed their epiphany with you. So today while laying around in a symbolic fetal position, I realized that who the hell are we to tell each other how to live. At this very moment, while you're reading this, it is the oldest moment in history. No one has stepped before where you are right now, people may be older, but time-wise no one is above you. Let me briefly digress on my notions of age before I continue with the actual point. Age means absolutely nothing to me (aside from infancy). There are 12 year olds out there that know more about life than I ever will, they might die tomorrow and will have lived a better and more fulfilling life than I could at 80. It goes the opposite as well of course, but I cannot stand people that realize my age and decide to brand me as young and naive. I feel as if I'm 30, I'm 22, but life has aged me. And you who brand someone younger than you as inexperienced and dumb are the naive one, you who have had no hardships are mentally 16. Anyways what I'm getting at, is you will never understand another person's life so don't look down on them, age is no credential.
Anyways, once again no one has lived in time past this moment right now. That means, we have no idea what's in store for us, we don't live in a stable world. So who are you to tell the pregnant waitress that she needs to reassert her life, or the bartender that he needs to get in college to live. The only time your advice is needed is when someone is doing an inherent wrong, or if it's asked. Who are you to tell random strangers what to do with their lives, have you truly mastered yours? It drives me insane, clearly.
What it comes down to is respect and love, and if everyone had a little more of both it would solve an infinite amount of problems.
