About time, too.
One zealous eccentric seeks to find reason to questions not needing answers. Problems not in need of resolution. Why, you may ask, would one delve into such irksome subjects, void of any substance. Is it a matter of boredom? Maybe a sense of madness. Does it matter? In what situation would one worry about another’s mental well being, when their own lingers close to daft and maniacal. What signs does one need before they become generally concerned for this person? Can one not live their lives apart from social acceptance without ridicule and mockery? What exactly categorizes one as moonstruck? Is everyone the same? Or is everyone different like everyone else?
One comes to ask themselves, why does the subject of one’s own sanity come into question from friends and family, when a sense of social discrepancy and unbalance is quite evident on one’s mind. When one can see the proverbial Jenge tower of society being toppled over by one insignificant push, pull or prod, does that not give reason to a waning sanity? Is it sanity everyone has, to go to school to get a job, work for 50 years, then retire, only to be too old to really live the life you could have? A character in the movie ConAir puts it best. “What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to piss off; ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time? Wouldn’t you consider that to be insane?”
In a manner of speaking, there are obvious levels of insanity. Levels that are reached by geniuses and scholars. These are the levels of insanity that are being overlooked. If one is so smart as to give up their own sanity instead of try and coupe… what reasons would someone have to do it? It angers me to think that some of the smartest people in the world, may also be some of the craziest.
Does one think intelligence is brought upon them via an omniscient being? Is it a certain chain of events that leads to a specific thought pattern, creating much more susceptible thinking? Maybe it’s genetics, or environment, or food. One knows that intelligence is measured by a flawed system. Measured on a system of subjects taught in school. It is more a measurement of one’s thought pattern and solving capabilities. Not someone’s full potential. Thought is much more than just intelligence of common knowledge. What of the question makers? Are those not the smartest of all?
It is absolute bullshit when people say not to judge others. It is human nature to judge, not only others, but one’s self as well. It is the same with most socially unaccepted matters. Human nature cannot be described to you via movies, TV, news, or the internet. It is something you have to dive into yourself for. Explore your own consciousness, your own subconsciousness. If there are really 6.5 billion people in this world, do you really think you’re an individual? That you’re different than everyone else? It goes without saying that everyone has their own feeling of difference among their peers. Different upbringings, surroundings, environments, etc.. However, that is all it is.
Only you know how to live your life happily and prosperously. If you’re sucked into society and a dead end job that you hate, it’s never too late to start new. Don’t believe people when they say money doesn’t bring you happiness. Of course is does. It’s how you’re able to explore, to do things that make you happy. The fact that you must spend 40+ hours a week working in order to do so is absurd, but what choice do you have in society today? The most you can hope for is inheritance.
So I implore you, go out, live your life, judge who you want, flirt with who you want, love what you want, work where you want. Don’t let social acceptance bind your thoughts and actions. Do so what you see fit, to the guidelines of human nature. Let that be your rules. One doesn’t need the help of an invisible entity to have morals and restrictions. The only help you need is from yourself. Look deep into your primal state and set your morals on that. Build on them from there. Live life to what you think is the best route, not what others tell you. Life can only be lived to what extent you give it.
