  • A comment on Conversation: What advice would you give a younger you?

    Aug 24 2012: Actual thought into your morals and beliefs. We're all capable of being better than who we are, it takes a strong person to do the right things. I know people argue that right and wrong are a subjective ideal and feeling, which is true, so everybody's definition changes change with each and every individual, whether they're a follower or a leader, it's funny to me how deep I went inside my mind and somewhat shared how my thoughts work and that I tried really hard to get my point across, I failed, because everybody here thinks that I'm vain, which to an extent I am, and your probably thinking that I have issues that I need to real with, all of that is true, but I believe I know how to deal with it in a healthier way than most, hopefully you'll get a chance to read my book, it could be a year or it could be 20, but It's my goal and I will accomplish it.

    Aug 24 2012: If you made it through my first post, I apologize for the scattered brained ideas and the rabbit trails. It's just that it's three in the morning and I'm venting, whatever comes to my head, I'm typing it, I usually organize my thoughts and omit the rambling, but I realized that I'm a philosopher and I need to write my ideas down and organize them, but I decided to use posting boards like this, to write my rough drafts on. Reason being, that people are brutally honest on the internet, and I want the criticism, from all types, so I can dwell on them when I start my next draft. But I doubt many people will even read this, in it's entirety, but if you do and better yet, understand me, I will value any criticism you put forward.... Just took a break and realized that my idea is not a very good one. I now believe that I should do all my drafts, allow the people who I know who are objective and wise critique my drafts and hopefully write a book and get it published. It's too much and overwhelming to do it here, (during my beak, I realized that the only person who can make sense out of my unorganized thoughts is truly myself and myself only)so I'll just quit rambling and work on it, I promise that my book, whether it gets published or not, it will contain a clear cut, no rambling, but it will be explanatory.... I know I've apologized a lot in these posts, but thanks for taking the time to read this, but I know I talked about myself a lot, but my main objective is to educate and get the things that are constantly going through my brain out into the public. To those who care about philosophy and human thought processes keep on doing it and start writing your thoughts, no matter how scattered they are, the best outlet is writing, I've been a philosopher my whole, but never truly knew it until tonight and I'm in my mid 20's. To those who think this posting is stupid, which I don't blame you, I would too if I wasn't in the state of mind I'm in, I would part with mediate and put

    Aug 24 2012: I believe most people, if not all, ask themselves this question. The reason being, that when they leave the nest and actually realize how life really works, they self reflect and wish they made better decisions, which they believe would put them in a better place, be ahead of the game of life, go to college get a degree in a high paying field, trophy wife, in short everything they dreamed about. None of that will actually make you happy though, you could the poorest person on this earth, but still be the happiest, the most content person. And some people wonder why? The simple reason is their thoughts and attitude towards life and by being poor(the strong good poor people anyway), please don't think that I'm saying every poor person is good hearted, because we all know that poverty breeds violence and just awful types. Just as you see unhappy rich or well off people that are grumpy and hate people, but others are the nicest people, give the shirt off their back type, and then even there are the rich posers who like attention and do good or bad things to create an image for them (that's mostly with Hollywood celebrity types, and socialites, and even all the way down the chain to small town humble who think and act like they're they're the absolute dictator of all people.... You guessed it, those last types irritate me the most)I still tell myself that I'd change everything about my teenage rebellion years, if given an actual opportunity to do so, I would refuse. I'm not saying that I was good then or that life is great now, it isn't, far from it. Yet, it baffles people how optimistic and upbeat I am, and it all has to do with my attitude towards life. About me, I've had some pretty bad things happen to me in my life, and I'm not here to whine about it. To be continued...
