The world views(#10)

I hear people all too much say one of two things. That life is great or life sucks.

It has taken me so long to finially figure out whether people who say life is great, actually mean it or are they just lying to themselfs. But are the people who say life sucks just people who dont have the will to do anything with themselfs and find it easier to say it sucks and not have to do much to prove it.

So the question people have wondered for years is, which one is correct? Life is great, or life sucks? Or Is it all just perception, which ever you tell yourself youll become?

The intresting part is the person who says life is great will tend to belive that, their idea is correct.
And the person who says life sucks tend to belive in luck more and that its all perception.

So which is right? Does life really suck or is it this wonderfull place?

Life is great! Come on i have everything i could want. I have friends. I have a good home. Good parents. Great place where i live. Not boring, not too much action, just right.

Life sucks! Come on could you really belive that a place where africans starve, 15 year olds get pregnant, crime rates are higher than theyve ever been, wars for stupid reasons, and many people never get what they want.

Its amazing because ive heard both of those statements used before. And like statements with similar views. But as ive said in my earlier blogs: question things. Lets do that now...

For the guy who thinks life is great; How did you get everything you could want? By luck? or was it your will? How did you get friends? Do you live in a non-poorer neighborhood or a very poor neighborhood? Whats good? you say good about everything, great place, good parents, isnt that all just perception? You live in a good place? are you rich? not boring? Ive bet youve said im bored before.

For the guy who think life sucks; dont africans starve because they live in a non-prosporous region? OR is it because the USA takes everything from them? Isnt the 15 year olds pregnancies common? I mean hundreds of years ago it would be normal. Why isnt it normal now? Hasnt there always been crime? Can crime truly be defated? Wars? Arent wars inevietable when resources are low? People not getting what they want? how do you know? Maybe they just dont try hard enough. And say they suffer but when they actually could be benefitiing? You complain when you dont get your damn holiday present, yet an african would say a pair of cheap shoes is FU**ing AMAZING to him. What if you just demand too much?

All im saying is that the questions about what it is, right or wrong. Life sucks or is it good? Its more up to you to find out the true answers for yourself. Because its one question being asked since the begginning of time. No one can really ever truly know the actual answer. For its for you to understand yourself. It has never been a right or wrong or answer, the only truth is that its up to you to understand and it always has been.

Power of Corruption (#9)

Corruption is something that we as the human race will always experience. The question arises though, will someone be smart enough to use corruption to destroy everything? Will someone stand up and rise against the corruptible power? Will their be balance?

First I must say; corruption is neither "good" or "bad". It stands for itself, only thinking of itself, destroying itself. It can affect either "good" or "bad". Imagine a virus that once affected a specimen, the specimen will slowly be overtaken by the virus till, the specimen itself is corruption. That corrupted individual will then try to infect another.

Depending on the next victim, if the victim is understanding and an enlightened individual he/she can withstand corruption. However for this to happen he/she must first understand what corruption is, have seen it used before by someone against another, and have it used against them. Once then. The individual must then always then avoid becoming corrupted themselves.

How? Simple. Question things. Be observative. Question the things you observe. Why did your boss say her wife just got a Lexus? He sounds like he's trying to show off. Why would he do that? Maybe because he wants power and attention? (doesn't he already have that?) You may never the true answer, but you can find paths that can become open and be a more enlightened individual. By questioning things you have the potential to become un-corruptible. It doesn't mean that you still cant corrupt. It just means you'll understand what corruptiblity is.

The next step to avoid corruption. Remember a time when someone used you or made you feel stupid around your friends. Corruption happens a lot in high school in your younger years. Many overcome it because of the amount of corruption they face. But some never learn right? Well that's what life outputs for you. Just remember a time when someone was really dishonest to you about something you cared for. And then they backstabbed you. That's corruption.

Corruption is basically the act of being dishonest and manipulative to get your way and be individualistic about anything. Only caring for you. Nothing else. That can destroy you. Not only can it destroy you, but everything else it infects too, it will do the same. Corruption stands and thinks for itself and in essence destroy itself because there's nothing else there but itself.

From what I know. Corruption cannot be defeated. Just as any other action or idea. However corruption can be contained such as anything else. It however requires someone to be on the other side of the spectrum, trying to contain and exploit it.

That means YOU people. I, as an individual can do something. But obviously not enough to contain corruption. I can however show you that corruption can be contained and that's enough to spark help from ordinary people like you reading my blog.

Helpful ways to understand and think about life (#8)

Over the past years ive come to be myself of who i want to become, over the while, ive become observative and started to make connections about the psychological nature of how humans work. And the Why behind it.

Ive come up with a number of comments regarding certain aspects of life we all have experienced, are experiencing or will experience. My friends considered them quotes, so as will I. Obviously im still learning, but arent we all?

Understanding life~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

Achieving-You must learn to fail, before you can achieve.

Benefit-In order for someone to benifit, someone must suffer. (This goes more in the line of resources and physcial aspects)

Suffering-Suffering is you, only seeing, what you dont want.

Stress-If you demand less you will stress less, if you demand more, you will stress more.

Corruption-In order to overcome corruption, you must have it used against you.

Pureness-No one person can be purely "good" or purely "bad".

Power-Power attracts the corruptable

Lying-The best liars you never know lie.

Intelligence- To the intelligent man; ignorance can be seen, intelligence cannot.

Ignorance-To the ignorant man; intelligence can be seen, ignorance cannot.

Perception of reality-Nothing matters for those who care, everything matters to those who dont.

Truth and Success-Truth hurts; but if you want a life that has meaning, truth is the most important factor.

Meaning of life-If everything matters why do anything? If nothing matters why do nothing?

Peace and Conflict-Peace leads to violence, violence leads to peace.

Ways of influence-Positive creates more positive, negative creates more negative.

Defense-The best defense is to have nothing to defend at all.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quotes i admire----------------------------------------- --------------------

Impossible-Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world theyve been given, than to explore the power they have to change it.

Prejudging-Prejudices are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soul has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow there, firm as weeds amoung stones.

Glory-To win without risk, is to triumph without glory.

Mistakes-Only those who do nothing, make no mistakes.

Failure-There is no failure, only feedback.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In my opinion life has an uncertainty of conflict. Conflct in inevitable and must be there.

There can never be no good and no evil. The two must co-exist together as one. Without good there wouldnt be passion and Will to stop that "evil". And without Evil there can be no thrill, no joy of living, no fun.

However after long consideration and thinking, ive come to a theory that the two dualitys can be over-clocked and in essence taken over by the other depending on circumstances and essentially destroy itself. Meaning Destruction of all life as we know. This is called Corruption.

From what i know the only un-balancing factor in our age, is corruption. I could probably talk about this for an entire year so there will be another blog about corruption. Corruption neither stands in the category of good or evil. In stands for itself destroying itself.

The entity of good has its own downfall too. People who say they are good and moral and who stop at nothing to detroy evil are essentialy corrupt and/or mis-guided, because..
Depending on your views of evil, one thing stands true. If the Underlying flesh of good focuses on the evils of the world; only thinks of evil, is evil.

I will talk about corruption in a much later blog, this just an introductory.
