I’m sick of hearing people talk about “us” and “them” or “our safety” and “their interest”. It’s all a bunch of nonsense and we need to not only wake up, but grow up. There are over six billion people on this planet and I have yet to find even two people who are the same. With that being said, I believe that the countless groups, religions, and social classes we conveniently separate ourselves into are nothing more than lies designed to give us a false sense of security. It’s a big scheme and it’s usually meaningless when you really think about it. Think about your own country, whatever country that may be. There are obviously millions of people in that country who may share similarities with you or even share the same blood line, language, hair color, or birthplace, but would you consider all of these people as part of your “group” simply because of these similarities given in life by chance? If so, why would you? It’s impossible to truly know millions of people who share common beliefs or characteristics. Hell, you probably only know less than a few hundred people period, many whom you may not even like. My point is that when we use the words “us” or “them”, we generalize an imaginary group of people in order to make our agendas come to life (whatever that agenda may be at the time).
Using these powerful dividing lines in life give us a false sense of meaning and purpose, when in reality, we probably have more in common with some of our “enemies” across vast oceans than we do our next door neighbors. For example, what about the murderous kids who committed the unspeakable atrocities at Columbine High School in 1999; they were American were they not? Does this mean that when someone says “us Americans”, that it includes these psychopaths? Well the government and this brainwashed society will have you believe that it does. But they don’t speak for me and neither do you. And come to think of it, neither do all of the psychos, murderers, racists, fascists, rapists, misogynists, and other corrupt nut cases who group themselves together with me.
“Us” and “We” are just coin phrases that can quickly bring people together and make them believe they are living or dying for something special. Unfortunately, the truth is that life revolves around specific situations and there are always exceptions to each rule. Therefore, we need to stomp out the false belief that there is such a thing as “we” or “us” in terms of religion, race, creed, class, or anything else for that matter. If that were the case, then every person claiming to practice catholicism would be a child molester….and we all know this statement, for example, is ridiculous.
Wake up and smell the coffee. It’s revolution time. It’s time to realize that you need to use your common sense and stop letting people put you into a box. More than half of what we do is already full of lies and deceit, why allow ourselves to buy into any more lies.
Here are 5 quick life lessons that have helped me so far….
1. Stop Focusing on Yourself. We are selfish by nature (for the most part) and when we get so obsessed on what we want or how bad our lives are, we lost focus on other things in life and forget that the key to life is giving (See tip #2).
2. Give. This is the key to life. Give anything you can and make positive changes in life. Giving does not at all mean giving just “money”. Giving can be giving simple things like your time, your assistance, your opinion, your encouragement, or your time (which in life is perhaps most valuable).
3. Stop Listening to Negative Thoughts. This is very dangerous. Most of your thoughts are very negative and will tell you that you are not good enough or that you are not qualified to do what you really want to. You are usually your own worst enemy, so try to work with yourself and not against yourself.
4. Don’t Worry About What Other People Think of You. Life is too short to focus on what other people (who are just as insecure as you) think of you. This is a huge mistake we make in life every day. We often behave as we think others expect us to, but we should behave like we naturally do. Don’t live your life based on what society or friends think of you. Take advice and constructive criticism, but don’t let it destroy your world. If you are grounded enough and wise, you will make the right decisions.
5. Learn From Your Mistakes and Cherish Them. It sounds odd to say cherish your mistakes, but I would not be alive if I did not. Mistakes are part of life and they make us stronger every day. When we were children, we made countless mistakes because it was part of our learning process. Today, we are grown, but life is all about learning, so it is foolish to think that we will ever stop making mistakes. Accept it as it is a natural part of life and often a blessing. Just make sure you at least LEARN from the mistakes and don’t repeat them too often or you are missing the point. You would not be walking right now if you did not keep falling and then learn from those mistakes. Therefore, I cherish the fact that I’ve fallen a lot in life.
I dig Ladytron, but they have absolutely no energy live….apparently. Look at these morose motherfu**ers go. This song is called Discotraxx and it’s the second tune on their ‘604′ record and I likey. Cheers…
