Actual Philosophy… PART I.

Philosophy is a favorite term of mine. I use it to sound smart half of the time. The other half, I’m philosophizing. My mind wanders too often in the other half of time, thinking about my beliefs, my problems, and how puberty probably hit me way too hard. Still, rather than then just stating my name and age for introduction, I will show you the real me.

I’m not a fan of life.

Think about that for a second. Does this mean I’m suicidal? To be suicidal is to cut off the connection. Yet life is complicated, no one can deny that. And no one can truly understand it. We, as a society, define life through colloquialisms to make it seem easy to deal with, or pleasant. They, meaning the general public, present it almost as rules which we should, not must, follow. But if we don’t, there’ll probably be consequences. Yet colloquialisms contradict each other half the time, so what the hell are we supposed to do?

There is one thing that one can be certain of: the process of thoughts. You know you’re thinking. Everything after that can be false: where you are, what you’re doing, who you know. Skepticism to its fullest, but truest. Therefore, when it comes to arguments, one can never assume they’re 100% certain. Liberals v. Conservatives, Theists v. Atheists, Arabs v. Jews. It never matters.

Our existence is a mystery. We know we came from something. Our “mother” not only may not be our biological mom, but might not exist, as stated before. Going up the pyramid of evolution leads you nowhere. There is no known tip at the top. In other words, we don’t know if there is or isn’t God. You can stick to a belief. Beliefs are thoughts. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. However, atheists and theists might be wrong. Cucumbers could be the reason for our existence. How do you know?

Religion is hard to discuss without sounding like a missionary, even if you’re atheist. Religion provides answers to the insignificant parts of life, yet it’s the parts that humans generally think about too much. I’m not a fan of religion, but that doesn’t make me atheist. I follow the philosophies of Hinduism. They provide my answers… for now.

The “point” or “purpose” of life is defined by you. You can make it whatever you want it to be. It could be a game, or the biggest adventure your mind will experience. If your life sucks, it’s most likely your fault. That’s just how “life” is. It doesn’t play favorites, and it’s very fragile. If you make even one mistake, it could lead to your demise. Death will be discussed in a later paragraph.

Your environment determines you, and you eventually have a say in your environment. What does this mean? Your parents will determine, indirectly, whether your life is going to be worth it or not. After the whole “independence”, or puberty phase, it’s all up to you. If you hang out with smokers, you’ve got a higher chance of ending up smoking, or developing lung cancer from secondhand smoking. Is this always the case? No, because there is no certainty.

The afterlife is a strange thing. It’s a sign of hope. Maybe there’s something better after whatever the hell I’m going through now (not me specifically, of course). Then again, our bodies will end up rotting into the ground or possibly turned into ash, which will probably be the case for me. I don’t care for it, and I don’t worry about it. Either way, it’s too depressing, and the thought of it has gotten the better of me in our encounters.

As a boy, the opposite sex, i.e. the females, never cease to confuse me. Without females, a regular straight man would probably slowly go insane and start questioning his sex life and BEGIN RANTING ABOUT HOW NO GIRL LIKES HIM… by the way, I’m single. The way I was raised, all girls are supposed to be repulsive until it’s time for me to marry, since I’m going to be having an arranged marriage. Still, guys can go crazy without girls. To be honest, anyone of any orientation usually goes crazy from lack of love, at least from what I’ve seen.

…

I would continue writing, but I’d probably take up too much space, and you’d lose interest. Views don’t necessarily matter. It’s feedback. And views come through that. So as long as I get some comments, I’m fine.

PART II on the way.

Preachings of an Awkward Teenager, Part I.

I hate my town.

I hate the High School.

Very blunt, no?

Does that mean I hate everyone?
… Don’t be a twit.

I really don’t mind if the school reads this note, too. Oh, and whoever was the wise ass that decided to put me on ReportIt (due to another note that I’ll post up eventually)… good one?

I’m going to continue what I call “preaching” ’till something big happens. Period.

I’m almost positive that everyone will forget about everything I’ve said so far, unless I’m proven wrong. I have no doubts people think of me as an attention monger, and that I need friends. Get a life.

If this doesn’t work, I’m switching to the blog:
http://ssk001.wordpress.com

Oh, and screw tagging, clearly the majority of those tagged didn’t even get the point, just read. Of course, that will probably come off as offensive, but that’s an extreme to think… oh god, just read.

Do you know how big of a double standard is there in this school? Most of us say, in terms of socially, our school sucks, but when it comes to fixing it, it’s suddenly damn near impossible?

And when I want reform, everyone wonders, ESPECIALLY when I tag them, if they’re responsible. That just kills me. You should already know how much people like you besides your close friends. In this school, you’re either annoying or chill, two huge extremes.

From what I can tell, almost nothing has changed since the last infamous note, minus a few exceptions. Still discrimination. Still pointless prejudice. Still stereotyping.

I just see these idiots who still don’t realize how lucky they are. Right now I’m gonna sound like I’m 80 years old, but do you realize the value of life? Or at least your parents? Doubt it. Offended? You’re supposed to be. When your parents get mad, it’s not b/c they hate you; that’s just total bull. It’s b/c they, dare I say it, love you. So much so that when you mess up, they give a rat’s ass. The fact that people call their parents bitches and whores is just frightening. Fix it.

Do you get why you go to school? It’s not to text friends. Not to complain or whine about teachers and projects and homework (even though I do it sometimes). It’s about trying to learn something. When you’re out of high school, what do expect to do? The real world is like a monster waiting to eat you up. Make the most out of what you have left. It will go by in a flash right before your eyes. You don’t want to end up screwed by graduation, wondering what are your interests, or what are you good at. Fix it.

Do you get life? Obviously no one does. But I think I know this much: it’s too fragile to mess around with as a teenager. Don’t risk it with beer and marijuana and crap like that. And don’t tell me it’s okay to do marijuana or drink beer. Do you really gain anything significant from it? ANYTHING. A short high and then it goes down. And you keep doing it to keep the high…ADDICTION.

I need a sign for once. Prove me wrong, that you don’t fit into this. That you can fix it. Jesus, try to at least make a difference! I’m sick of everything. Everyone seems like they come from the same pool. And the ones who are different are treated like rotten apples. I need a sign now.

Simple Contest

Simple… but hard. Here it is:

Give me one REALLY good reason why I should like John McCain.

It can’t be regarding:

1) His maverick-ness (Voting with the current President around 97% these past two years shows no maverick)

2) His military or POW experience (It doesn’t qualify you as president)

3) His choice of Sarah Palin (’nuff said)

It should be solely based on issues. Why is privatizing Social Security so wonderful? Why should Roe v. Wade get overturned and we deny a women’s choice? Why should we continue to avoid Universal Health Care (Although neither McCain or Obama has established a mandate to my knowledge)? What is it?????

The prize: I convince all of my friends/acquaintances to either support or vote McCain. They’re pretty much all democrat now.
