I wonder what it's like to live. At this point, I have no idea. No one knows what it's like to live until life is almost taken away. This is funny, because we spend our lives trying to avoid being in those kind of situations. When we find ourselves on the verge of losing our
lives, others view it as a tragedy, when they should be viewing it as a blessing. They should say, "you're so lucky! You almost died."
This world is full of mindless, meaningless things. Everything is meaningless. Our only purpose is to breathe, eat, sleep, and go like robots. We're no different than our technology. In fact, there is no use in trying to perfect "artificial intelligence", because it already exists. We humans are all artificial intelligence. Our emotions are programmed, our responses are programmed, and just like our computers, copiers, and fax machines, we all malfunction and function in different ways. On some, you push one button for a specific response, while on others, it is a completely different button: different size,
different shape, different color. Some of these buttons are labeled, others are not. Some are easy to understand, some make you so frustrated all you want to do is die. But maybe that is the solution. Something out there keeps telling us not to kill ourselves, because they don't want us to live.
I think that is the real story of God. If that whole Bible novel really happened, God put his son on earth to teach us how to live. He scared us, so we killed him. And now, God is exacting his revenge on us by telling us not to kill others and not to kill ourselves, so he can watch us suffer for decades more than his son did. We'll suffer and
he'll laugh until he decides we've had enough. It all makes perfect sense. He rewards those of us who really live by killing us. We eat too much of the things that we enjoy eating, we have a heart attack, and we die. We torture ourselves in the workplace so we can have money to drive our expensive cars as fast as we can to get away from life, and we wreck them and die. We steal from others because it makes us feel good about
ourselves, like we're "special", and eventually we're shot and killed. And those who are desperate enough to take the lives of others are rewarded in the end by being fried themselves. The worst part is that belief in God is supposed to give us "everlasting life". That doesn't mean that we're going to be LIVING in our "everlasting life". The ultimate
punishment for being such a brainless follower of something so blatantly rediculous is that you get to have a life full of pointless shit forever.
Now I understand why organized religion is never fully explored or explained. It's just like life: no one digs into religion further than surface level, for fear of what they'll find. People get wrapped up in the "mystery, majesty and reliability" of it all, and accept
that as enough because they are afraid. They're afraid that if they look too deep, they will discover the lie that is God's "love". God's love is bullshit. More of the population than ever writes off God as a phony because we're evolving. We aren't evolving physically, but mentally. Each generation is more mentally evoloved than the last, and we're slowly
opening up more parts of our brains and doors to possibilities. The levels of apathy are so high amongst the younger generations of people because we're smarter, more advanced, and we realize that most of what we get out of life is a big, stinking lie. Everything on TV is a lie. Everything we're told we're supposed to be and do when we get older is crap. They tell us what will happen, and how it's supposed to be, and it never is. And the don't ever have any solutions when things don't go as you were told, other than to tell you that "it must be YOUR fault."
Everything they tell you in school is a twisted story. Facts and figures are "reality", but everything else is someone's take on the subject, which is ingrained in your head as the truth. Why? Because if they dug deeper, people would realize how meaningless it all is, and then they'd have nothing to teach us, nothing to tell us, and they would feel unimportant. Our world would fall apart. We've been taught that deeper, radical thinking is a sign of mental instability and rebellion. We've been taught that living is wrong.
In the future, I hope more and more people stop caring. I hope that everyone is selfish and does what they want without giving a shit about anyone else. The next person that tells me smoking is bad is going to get a nice big "fuck you" because I enjoy it. If I want to love someone that everyone else in the world hates, I'm going to love them anyway because I do. I'm not going to replace what I want with what someone else wants FOR ME because I "owe it to them". They can get fucked. I'm the one that has to live my life, not them.
If we all lived like this, no one would tell other people what to do, and no one would get pissed off. No one would fight because it's not worth it. No one would steal because they'd realize that having some fucking pair of shoes that someone else doesn't have isn't important. We'd all be happy as pigs in slop, but we're too afraid as a whole to make that first little damn step...thinking radically.
Unfortunately, we'll never reach that point. If you didn't already know that, I don't feel sorry for you. It doesn't surprise me, really. Most people think "world peace" is a possibility. In fact, right now, someone is reading this and thinking that I'm "crazy". They are thinking that because they have been taught not to believe people who say things like I'm saying. They've been taught that the REAL truth is wrong. But I can't be crazy, because no one knows what is crazy and what is not. The human race will be long gone before that happens. We will have devolved into some kind of mass of fleshy substance that no longer requires the parts of the brain condusive to deep thought. We'll breath, eat, move, and sleep to renew our energy, but there will be no living. The process of natural selection will realize that we're not using our thinking and living centers of our minds, and they will become inactive.
Occasionally, during reproduction, a mutation will occur in an individual
that will cause them to think on a higher level, and they will be seen as a danger and they will surely be killed. Our only chance to live is now, when we realize that this is going on. We can cheat death by living now and laugh in its face; in God's face. Think of how good it would make you feel to be able to say, "HA! I laugh in God's face. He can't take shit away from me. He can't take living away from me."
Take your life and proclaim that you're not going to let it be almost squandered before you can enjoy it. Don't let life take a piece of you every day. Don't let yourself die slowly without ever being happy. If we don't do it now, we will keep coming back to new lives full of the same lies and empty promises. I have this feeling, that if we live; if we do what we want without thinking twice about it, and do it now, "God" or whatever is out there is going to
reward us. It's going to say, "good job. You have proved that you're not a brainless lemming like everyone else in the world. You are free to never have to have life again." That's motivation for you. |
