The thing I can’t stand about people who subscribe deeply to some ism or political idea is the utter close minded smugness they display to anything different than their idea. Which really isn’t their idea in the first place it is actually some one else’s idea which they happen to agree with but in reality they don’t really understand the ideology or the ism.
However this does not prevent them from spouting endlessly on and on about how the idea they believe is the only idea in the entire omni-verse which makes any sense at all and if you don’t see things the way they see them, well then you are just an enemy which must be eradicated or worse.
Fear, hate, insecurity, pettiness, ugliness, ignorance, racist, xenophobic, egomaniacal and many, many more words which motivate their cramming these ideas in to everyone’s face.
They make me sick… I want to woof my cookies pass me a barf bag.
I identify myself with an ism but not entirely, I’ve traveled and seen many places, met people who the political machine said were my enemy and I should hate them for their sheer existence. They were just the same as me and probably just as awed by the fact that I was not evil and was just a person who enjoyed the same things I did.
Was I the one who was wrong or are there gapping holes in what the ism and the things that the politicos tell us is the truth.
I mean huge holes, holes so big that you can’t honestly call it truth
It’s lies and propaganda just spun one way or another to make some small person feel big.
The thing is no matter what you believe or how deeply you believe it you will die and you will die alone and either you’ll accept that death is coming or you won’t but it will come regardless.
Beg, plead, barter, bargain all you want death just smiles and says nothing and collects you just the same as every single person who has ever lived, will ever live and that is alive now.
Nothing you think, say or believe can change that truth. So why is it true that ism’s and political ideology try to put people higher than others?
Life is life, death is inevitable … this is not half empty thinking or morbid-ness it is reality
If your ism tells you that someone is beneath you - why does it tell you that? Honestly, Why?
If your political ideology tells you that you are better than someone else - do your really think that? Seriously, Why?
However I’ve figured out some things in my time on the mud ball,
- you can learn something from everything and everyone
- teach what you can
- try not to follow the herd - any herd
- there is a lot of ugly in the world and people make it all… all of it.
- do
- people will see you for how you do things and not what you talk about and what you say you believe
- don’t change, be you, because they will eat you if you try to p lease them
- don’t ask anyone else to change
- if someone talks to you about religion or politics and they aren’t paid to do it then they don’t know what they are talking about.
- if someone is talking to you about religion or politics and they are paid to do it they have an agenda which includes the need for your time and your money if you don’t have either they are not interested in you.
To paraphrase James T’s ex wife this isn’t about you put down your vanity mirror. And thanks to sleaze sister voodoo and all of the other dinosaurs
Other stuff tomorrow, have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.
Ciao,
