Because I'm very "pro" at starting arguements I'll put this little pre-warning here:
..Here be dragons


I write this to experiment with other people's reactions to these bold statements and beliefs. I truly believe in everything I wrote, but I might have expressed it badly, so I will most likely edit a lot of it sometimes later or remove it all together.

People that act like "They don't care" cares, but are more resistant into showing it, or have less emotional impact...
-------

There so many times I start thinking of what is, what could be, and what don't we know. I.e., I personally believe in... shadows of the past and "spirits". During my short-short time on this planet (why do I write like I am an alien? lol) as 22... I think im 22, born 21 June 1988, someone please do a check for me so I won't have to wonder.. Anyways;
In that short time I've been beyond extremly lucky to have meet & talked to unique people. Wise people. Old people. Young people even, that had something to teach me (without themselves knowing about it) about life and our precious planet.

It started at age ~12. My step father brought me to a "Tae Kwon-Do" class. I loved every moment of it, because I was all like "Wohoo! Karate! Who! Chop! Wah!". With all the energy and will I put into it, I've gotten serveral recognitions of my 'talents'. To myself it seems like im bragging, but Im simply trying to look and write this in 3rd person view. I appreciate myself, my friends, my teachers and those around me so very much. They have played a part in making me into who I am today, and I couldn't be more happy. I am not rich. I am not "well educated" or anyone 'noticeable'. It does not matter, as I live for so-to-say myself and those around me.

As with everyone else, I am selfish. Hopefully not as much as other people, but I am. Without being selfish do some degree I could not live in this society.
I can only but accept the world that is infront of me, and try to live in it the best I can, while doing my best in making it a better place, even by a small amount...

Ever thought that "what if..." you had supernatural abilities; like superman or other random superheroes with great superpowers; what would you do? What "could" you do? Those thoughts is a good way to think "ok, this is what I would do; Now, what CAN i do?".

What I can do, I -can- donate a lot of money (for me it would be a lot of money.) to people and places that needs it.

I -can- avoid purposely killing insects or bugs just because they are in "my territory", the house or any other place on the planet.

I -can- avoid saying bad things to people, avoid insulting people. And I am avoiding it. Instead, say something positive.

I -can- do everything I ...uhh... -can- to make myself a better person, and others into better people...?

I will 99% likely regret writing this because I am typing this as my mind wanders. But at least this is all 100% honest wandering...babble.



I might be mad/crazy, or I might simply see humanity different than 99.9999999% of the world, but I would rather jog 10 (1000KM) miles than to kill a housefly. And no one could force me to do so. Period. The same goes for all people. Of course as a fellow human, I'd do my best jogging around the world to save someone close to "me". may it be friends, companions or family. I would realistically most likely fail; dying from hunter, unable to find water, freeze to death, etc., but I would not regret it. As failure is not an option. In my own mind, there is no such thing as fail. Only "Do" and "Not do". Meaning, I believe that people that believe there is room for fail have 99% chance of failing comparing to people that by god/their diety as their witness believe they can do it; can do it.

Of course everyone is different..

How often do people think about it? If at all.. Certainly there are ignorant people that goes their entire lives thinking only of themselves and couldn't give a crap about anything outside "their circle". In my eyes, selfish people like that are equal to nothing but dust in the wind.

And for some interesting reading in this article. It's basically what I believe but with much better and "complex" words (as I suck at writing long posts/texts and make them look messy).

Don't mistake this random post as a "depressed/emo" post, because this is what I actually believe and never told anyone. Or at least not much of it.

However, Im totally up for having to kill to eat. Living/Surviving #1!
However humanity have gone way past that. Even "money" should have to be improved if we are to evolve genetically and technologically..

I.e. remove currency, give humanity the strength to work for "themselves" and others a like; keeping the mentallity that they aren't doing it because they have to; but because they want to.

By doing so would remove ~random-guess 99% of everything un-needed in the world, like "Fur coats", "Gold watches with diamonds in them" or even... stuff

Oh, btw, just by reading this: How much did 'your' impression of me change? And then think; If I didn't write this, how much different would it be?

People are easily ... influenced into good, and unfortunately bad as well. Which one shall it be for you?

...God damn. Feel free to quote any of my jibberjabber if you got some questions about what I mean/meant.

...wow damn, i must be crazy. Or a horrible person. Or good. I'm not sure. Make your bets! All bets in! :P *goes to bed*

EDIT: Hopefully most of this will be ignored though. Thought I might feel like crap just because no one would reply.. then again I would probably feel crappy either way, at least for 2 minutes. x.x

Ppl r different.Lol being selfish is normal to survive in this crpapish world but...depends how selfish.
Oh super powers well its normal to think about stuff like this sometimes.Most as kid but...not only.
The money..well my personal oppinion is that money r so much usless..brings pain selfishness and etc.They r needed for living but some ppl never have enough.
Humanity is good thing but also depends.Who how and why.Most of the times when ppl help to another person the other person just...screws u and this sux.
Some ppl say life is great another ppl say life sux.Id say it has good and bad moments and depends how many good and how many bad ull have.
Ignorent ppl..well i met this human ''behavior''soon and isnt nice at all.
I hate rudness unpolitness and etc.Sometimes u gotta be rude to help someone.
Anyways i start talking about something different XD
Nice one

Hmmm, i'll make it fairer on you, i tend to act like i don't give a crap but in truth i care more for others than myself ( in every single instance), Essentially the whole " i don't care or "Strange" " attitude i put into play is just a pure cover up for what i consider my " weaker core", I've learned in the last 6 years that i require heavy defenses and fortifications around my emotions and true personally thus it has lead to my box personalitys in general truth none of you have met "me" and most likely never will but it might help to explain to you why i can have more mood shifts than a regular person ( Define regular? Nope ) anyway i'm not going to turn this into a heated humanity discussion but why did currency come in to effect in the first place? When the ape said " Whats in it for me?" Selfishness isn't something we develop it is genetic, a part of you its instinct and eliminating it is near impossible especially on a species wide scale at the end of the day i see it like this: I'm going to simply try to be nice to everyone i meet and succed to some degree of which i am finally happy with life, myself, my body and the people i am around ( take offense if you like but... i most likely have something to say about everyone sure you have things you don't like about me too... quite confident on that actually) Bravo aki, could say it takes alot of guts to post that or... could take it as attention seeking however i'm pretty sure it isn't the second option, Ttyl and if you get bored easily btw... i do have a steam account and i do check the forums regularly


On a side note have i extremly strayed from the point of this topic?

Meh, the only thing that this has changed my opinion about you is that you don't kill bugs...Not saying that's bad (<_<) but I wouldn't have thought you the kinda person to avoid such.

That's cute.
:?: :?:
In my opinion, failure is a matter of perspective. Hmm...and as for "not giving a crap" it doesn't mean a person is selfish, maybe it means they just dont give crap. Speaking from my own experience, I really don't care much about alot of stuff mostly because I have better things to do than trying to worry about all of everything else. What's going to happen is going to happen with or without our knowledge and help. So, to sum up people often dont care and our selfish not only because its in our human nature but also people don't feel that they have any real control over anything Outside themselves. Also flies carry diseases, so that's why I kill them maybe your houseflies don't. Maybe i'm off on a few things but this is my humble response. Hey, some good things to think about in there, thanks for posting!
