Out-of-bounds Realism

Life is meaningless at the end, death is inevitable.

In most cases, life cannot be more pathetic or forlorn or despicable. Yet, life can only be as glorious or futile as we want it to be. If we're individually gifted in some respect, which we all are, recognizing what it is, is half the battle won. The rest of the effort, a genuine effort, mind you, should be focused on how to not squander the same gift, instead of engaging ourselves in some mindless, unenlightening exercise we undergo, supposedly to fulfill some vague, social purpose. We don't need that, it isn't vital to our existence. It doesn't define us, it doesn't enlighten us, it teaches us nothing, and yes, serves no genuine purpose.

Relish every mistake made, because mistakes teach us to be wiser. Downplay personal triumphs, they don't last forever. Credit yourself on your achievements, there is something substantially important in personal pride, provided it isn't false, or generated on plagiarism or any other form of someone else's efforts.

We create our own destinies, it isn't written anywhere. Hence, the directions we take, in spite of all the coincidences, personal tragedies, and encircling stupidity, are the ones we could be most proud of, and rightfully so.

Since we live in this sick, greed-obsessed culture, most of humankind are content with Wanting more. There are some of us who would rather Learn more. Perhaps the most noticeable difference between these two class of persons, is the ones who want more usually assume they have all the answers. The others think they can never have all the answers, which is more rationally sound in any rate. Logic might not work to comfort us, or to ensure us success, or financial gain. Although, in that view, life, and how we perceive life, seems more beautiful and awe-inspiring, than any other generally accepted perspective, based on superficial, or make - believe premises. Perhaps contentment is easier to attain when honesty, and simpler pleasures are involved. //

  1. In my view the only true purpose to humankind's reality is to pro-create and promulgate its presence on this celestial body as any other species inhabiting it however, plagued with the ability to go beyond this fundamental, true purpose humanity has created and maintains the illusion of a higher purpose substantiated by its self-imposed subordination to an unseen yet omnipresent entity, that of it, demands that there be some higher order of reason for its existence other then that stated: to fuck our fool brains out with the off-chance of creating more fucked up, walking organisms as have been created from as far back as we can't even remember.
