I recently noticed that politicians and news anchors alike use the word “look” in front of any statement they add into a conversation with the intent of making their opinion sound more valid or correct. This is lame, but I have decided to start using the word “look” before every sentence I speak so that maybe people will think I know what I am talking about. Look, I definitely have all the answers so listen to me.

I’m sick and tired of everyone wasting time whining to each other over every “crisis” that arises on this earth. Does anyone realize how far we’ve come and how much time we waste on whining? Is there anyone reading this who would rather be thrown back into the dark ages, or the times of slavery, or perhaps live in Poland during the year 1939? Do you think these people may have had it worse than you? Does anyone understand the simple reality that this life is often very ugly, difficult, and always full of trials and tribulations? Why do we still sit around and expect everyone to be perfect and expect our ignorant decisions to result in a utopia? Why does it take some major catastrophe to wake us up and stop being complacent for five minutes? Why do we forget that FOREVER, there have been unfortunate souls living amongst us that are in poverty, sickness, war, oppression, and certain death?
It is simple….It’s because we are part of a convenient, ignorant, and selfish culture that praises idiotic things. We forget that all the material things around us are (perhaps fun & great), but for lack of a better word; CONJURED UP! Yes, conjured up. Gold, diamonds, currency, possessions, and so on are things that we prize because we are told to prize them. Yes, they are valuable to us, but what do they actually mean? They mean that we are comfortable being distracted by them instead of being distracted by the realities in life. So think about it, did money create houses, food, water, production, and your society? NO they did not. PEOPLE DID. That is a fact. Objects were simply the currency changing hands that were agreed to have some value or meaning. But the truth is, we could have always made things and prospered, and can always do so, regardless of what object is valued. It is up to us to stop conjuring up nonsense and pretending that we must stop progress simply because someone does not throw money at us. Remember, it is all in our imaginations.
Here is an example:
If I have water, and you have food, we can both benefit from each other, right? However, if we are greedy morons that demand RIDICULOUS amounts for our goods or services (Greed), then neither of us benefit. This is what happens today and every day. Now, on the other token, if we simply use our minds and help each other out…we can all survive, and so on…and so forth and blah blah blah.
So please my fellow human beings, stop complaining, stop sitting on your a**, and go DO SOMETHING for your fellow man for goodness sakes. It is not about right or wrong, it is about either living for something, or believing in man made nonsense for the rest of your life. No one is infallible, no one. Time to wake up.

I don’t care how smooth or pleasant it sounds when peppering the term “thats a good question” into a conversation, I think it’s an overused and meaningless slogan. The bottom line is, so what if it is a “good question”. What does that mean anyways? It sounds to me like the filibuster coin phrase of all time that allows the person being asked a question to throw the audience off-guard while they conjure up some bullsh*t answer (or no answer at all except the phrase “that’s a good question” + blahblahblah).
Are we all turning into politicians these days? Who do we think we’re fooling? I mean, it’s bad enough that we rip each other off in every other aspect of life…do we need to treat each other like children too? This phrase is ridiculous and I’m sick of it.
Next time someone asks a difficult question that you can’t answer, just be honest and say “I don’t know”.

I’m sick and tired of hearing the phrase “I’m busy”. This empty slogan seems to be emerging as the new catch phrase to give us a sense of importance or meaning in life. But regardless of your religion, culture, or geographic location, I would argue that this statement is meaningless and simply nonsense. You can add this slogan to the rest of the coin phrases we use to go through the motions in life, exaggerate our importance, and talk without saying anything.
Think about it. What does it actually accomplish to share the fact that you are “busy”. Why is this the ultimate response in every day conversation? Will someone explain what this answer has done for anyone. And my problem with it more than anything is that it is a big lie in the first place. We act like we are forced to be so busy when we are the ones choosing to be busy. Not to mention that we use this as an excuse not to do things that are actually more important in life….like staying in touch with people. Too busy? I say go pound sand. When you die, the world will keep turning….How is that for “too busy”.

I don’t mind going through the motions every now and then, but this daily routine that everyone participates in is simply getting ridiculous. When you stop and think about life and what we really are, it is much less than you think. We make up distractions and silly job descriptions to make ourselves seem so important, but in reality we are extremely small and yes, equally insignificant in the big picture. We take our jobs and our status in society so damn seriously and we follow suit with our arrogant behavior each day. Not to say that we should not aim to be above average people with goals, accomplishments, and positive change. And everyone should know that being significant in life is most rewarding when it’s from those who are closest to us.
I suggest that we spend more time on positive changes and real matters in life, instead of all the fluff. We just buy stock in fluff every damn day! There is too much fluff that we participate in. We dumb down everything by making ourselves “busy” and “important”, but we forget that we are just people. Without the houses, clothing, cars, offices, and latest cell phone, you would be just some poor naked sucker. Back to the cave man days. (that was a joke)
But you should never worry about not having a phone, electricity, or god forbid a vehicle….well not unless a disaster or natural phenomenon strikes, then I’m sure you will be ready to change your life and start the campaign to save humanity.
Maybe you can start now by focusing on the true meaning in life. Don’t keep the blind fold on forever.
