Zero's blog: "Random Thoughts..."

The only one 100% undeniable truth in Life is that it is going to end. In all of time, no one has ever established proof that we get a second chance, NO proof in an after-life, NO opportunity to make an ammendment to the life we leave behind. As the old saying goes, "make hay while the sun shines." So that when the sun does finally set on your life, the one opportunity you get, you can die having actually lived. If you spend your life clammed up in your room, get outside and see the world you have the privilege to live in. If you are an "outdoorsy" type. Go home and open a book once in a while and learn about the joys of just doing nothing. What I'm saying is don't do something, do everything. Live.

If you are the type of person that gets their feelings hurt everytime someone doesn't like you... Well, grow up. You are the only one who has a say in what YOU think about YOURSELF.

If you are the type of person that feels you're better than anyone else, well Fuck You. Nothing in this world makes you or me or anyone better than anyone else. Not what you have, or what I don't have. In the end, none of us take it with us when we go. You are gonna leave this world the same way you came in it. By yourself. Alone. We all are, because we are all EQUAL. Death, the only certainty, is no respecter of persons.

If you are the type of person that just feel like life isn't worth it, everything is wrong and fucked up, nothing is ever going to get better, and people hate you... Well, people probably do hate you, nothing is probably ever going to get better, everything you touch is wrong and fucked up, and honestly... I don't think life could honestly be worth it. With such a crappy attitude, All those things would more than likely be true.

To each of you... I think this quote does apply, quite well.

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.” - Charles R. Swindoll

There is one other type of person I want to touch base with this morning. To you, the people out there trying to "change the world," go home, tell your wife/husband/kids/parents you love them, spend time with them, treat total strangers the same way you treat your friends, and just live your life as best you can. Don't do anything else. This world isn't going to change until people first turn inward and change themselves. If each of us made it a point to live the best life as the best person we could be, then the need for things like military, police, prisons, court systems, and government itself would dissipate and vanish entirely.

Now, some of you may say, "Well that's just wishful thinking and utopian day-dreaming. And it will never happen." Well, each and every one of you that feels that way is the EXACT reason why it will never happen.

Maybe only one person will read this. Maybe this will never have any effect on anyone in the world. It's quite possible. Very, even. But this is inside me, and I just wanted to get it out of me. This isn't some "motivational speech" or an attempt to change anyone, but I do hope it motivates someone and if it changes anyone that might read it, then I'm happy. If it doesn't, then fine. Go back to your lounge, buy another round for everyone, talk, laugh, and cover up your unhappiness for just a bit longer. Again... this very well may be the only life you and I have.

... just saying. ...
