Drive to school, drive back, turn on the computer and click away, TV and radio. All these things could disappear and it wouldn’t affect me as much as I think they would. They are all meaningless pursuits, always concentrating on the wrong thing. Taking things for granted, buying things we don’t need, focusing on the future, letting experiences pass ( Read more... )

The human being is cursed with the ability to reason. We think too much, we live too little. Animals are lucky in this sense; they are driven by instincts, they do not stop and think about what just happened, they just keep living. We should all be so lucky to possess such simplicity. Of course, there always is that other thing in our heads, that thing that is there without us knowing, without us thinking, without us wanting it to be there. The unconscious. The universal filing cabinet. The first tool for procrastination, or even inaction sometimes. If something we cannot comprehend or do not like happens, we send it to the unconscious to deal with it some other time, or perhaps never. And then we end up with all these problems that seem to have no possible origin nor solution. We feel grim or depressed or suicidal for what appears to be no reason. It's tricky. And then no one is going to go look for something in the unconscious, because by the time there are enough things there to cause use that much trouble, it is too ( ... )

Very true... thank you for such an insightful quote. May I ask who this is?

I see you have used your some knowledge of psychology to provide what seems to me like a weak rebuttal to my thoughts. Maybe it was psychology, maybe it was years of television watching. Maybe you just extracted lines from different places and were successful in creating an anthology cool, smart lines that you hoped would somehow organize themselves into a well thought out extraction of...your thoughts. Maybe you didn't know the correct spelling of independent. However, the means by which you extricated cliches...lines like "there is not truth, merely perception" and that not conforming is conforming. You have just placed a diverse number of concepts in one composition and done a mediocre job in the transitions. You must have been bored. You must have had nothing to do, kind of like when you go to those ram tech meetings huh? But, alas, I should not be criticizing you in this manner, for I myself am sure that I make many spelling errors, and I myself did the same thing on my previous post, as I was, just like I presume you were ( ... )

A Battlefield torpidsage March 25 2005, 07:24:23 UTC
can no longer be defined, can it? In today's day and age, with the push of a button or the turn of a key, nuclear weapons can transform the face of the planet into a battlefield. But, again what is a battlefield and what isn't? Without any technology whatsoever a word is a worthy weapon which can transform any realm into a battlefield, a thought can make a nation a battlefield and sever it into halves. Our blood is a battlefield where bacteria and germs are constantly attacking our white blood cells. The cosmic universe is a battlefield where incalculable amounts of particles bombard other particles and are manipulated by magnetic fields. So why isn't this a battlefield, why shouldn't it be a battlefield. It shouldn't be interpreted with such a negative connotation, that which is seemingly inherent in its definition. Isn't the mind a battlefield, where in only one conceptualization the ego is the product of the battle between the superego and the id? Is that not so? Is Freud and are the Neo-Freudians completely wrong in ( ... )

A subjective mind receives data as sensation and once passed through all of the filters which comprise its volumes, it creates perception. If your life is a schedule it is because you deem it so. If you are totally independent, it is because you deem yourself so. If you find yourself a prisoner of societal reformation and movements, it is because you deem it so. The 3 pound glop of chicken salad that sits between our ears is able to accomplish so much that it becomes incomprehensible. Our minds can make anything true or untrue. It is in this premise that people experience a loss of reality, a division of identities, a delusion, a theory of philosophy, the faith in a spiritual being, the belief of a miracle, the confabulation of a memory, the discerning of what is false and what is real. There is an inherent violation of comprehensible law in ourselves where one stimulus can enter the black box and a billion different responses can be elicited from different minds or from one. Is this life so bad? What can a person want life ( ... )

"Sorry but you entry of 5764 characters has exceed the maximum character length of 4300, please try shortening it and then post again."

Sorry for having to post again, LOL, the second comment is just a continuation of the first.

BTW, I haven't updated my journal and I don't really plan to so you don't have to check and see if there's anything of interest unless you wanna read an old entry of me bitching at some kid in my head.
