Extreme rant... Pre-rant becomes the Rant .. returning to the roots

Pre-rant: This post isn’t as happy as the last few have been... I don’t know why, but i have been afraid to use this space as an emotional dumping ground in the fear of coming across as a cynical bitter boy who loathed in self pity and the rest...

as dad always says, there are two ways to look at that... one is that to shut out the complacency would be a good thing and it would allow the positivity to flow out... the other is that i have wanted to make this space more ‘reader friendly’ and i have been spewing out bullshit just to get that site-meter ticking....

When you actually think about it, its fascinating... There is no real right or wrong way to look at anything really... our lives are lived in this fuzzy grey area and that's it... we are fuzzy, confused and insanely opinionated... In reality, the only thing that really connects us all at a mental level, is that we don’t really know anything about anything....

Why do we say the things we say? All the world is a stage and we are but mere actors... We don’t live for ourselves but rather to satisfy the audience...

I wonder... i wonder what’s wrong with not knowing... why is it such a bad thing to be ignorant? If anything at all, it means that you are in the purest form of yourself, unscathed by the wrong or the wrong-right.... There is no conflict in your mind... and i guess in a way, that means that you are peaceful.... all that is left are the facts.... I breath, I eat, I sleep, I do. Existence becomes just that... existence.

Your 'spewing out bullshit' makes the space 'reader-friendly' :D

Crazy monkey!

I used to feel exactly the same way, about people not liking me talk of the 'downs' in my life. But, after that I looked up at my link and saw: kaylias.blogspot.com: The K-Files - That's ME and MY files! Lol, And if sometimes, I feel like talking about my downs, in a way that helps me be honest, vent and yet still ultimately help others in a similar situation, then why not! =) Lol, I guess, what I'm trying to say is that, if you want to write about stuff in a thought provoking or helpful way instead of just bitching, then there's nothing wrong in that! And that's what you just did: You made me think.

Good on you for the honesty! And don't be afraid to write your own life script while you're on this "world stage". You know the role you're best suited for, and the stunts you can and cannot do. ;)

Take care!

"Existence becomes just that... existence."

Don't you see? This is the problem. That life becomes just a meaningless existence.
