BITCH IT'S HEALTH, SUBJECTIVISM, WITH SOME MOTHER FUCKING RELIIGIOOONNN
First off, I'd like to give a shout out to my consciousness. I appreciate that it allows me to be so open-minded to many aspects of life and thinking. It had been my best companion through what will be my relatively short span of time of being alive. I should give my subconscious a nickname. That'd be cool. I'll think of one later. On to the thoughts of... my thoughts?
///HEALTH
I came up with a bit of an epiphany on regards to my health. I've been working out a lot to hopefully enjoy a longer lifespan. What I failed to realize was that I may not even reach the end of my lifespan due to the daily hazards of life. Maybe I get in a fatal car crash, maybe I fall off a ledge, maybe I get paralyzed, maybe I contract some sort of vicious disease, maybe a zergling unburrows and tears my body apart, or maybe aliens abduct me. I would regret so much not eating the delicious food that was available to me all because I was trying to live a long life span by eating healthy. Fuck that, I want pork, bacon, bacon, Jack Daniels, more bacon, beef, chicken, bacon, samgyupsal, pizza, tacos. I'm not going to sit there and not enjoy it because I'm afraid of getting fat or something. I work out to be able to eat these things and still be able to do physical activities.
I normally eat healthy just because it just makes me feel better mentally and physically but on those special moments when I just wanna go H.A.M. on food, I do so. I figure as long as I keep myself above average physically I can eat what I want at probably an average of about two times a week or so. Helluva lot better than my old diet of two chappaghettis for dinner or six soft tacos, daily. I eat what I want, when I want, for the mood I'm in.
///SUBJECTIVISM
"Subjectivism is a philosophical tenet that accords primacy to subjective experience as fundamental of all measure and law." This is Wikipedia's definition. If you can wrap that around your head somehow, congrats, you have done something that I could not. Too many technical jargon in there for me to understand. Anywho, this is apparently my stance on how I view life when I explained to a philosophy major on my views. From my understanding, it's the view that nothing is real to me except what I accept to be real. If you truly believe in something then to you, it is simply the truth, and if you don't believe in it, you don't. This is a lot harder to write about than I thought it would be. My thinking allows me to believe in some pretty ridiculous things because I can trick myself into believing it. I've gone days where I imagined everyone was a robot, that everyone was in on a reality show with me being the only person not knowing, or imagining that no one was real but rather a figment of my subconscious. Life is more interesting this way to me. Trying to explain this is going nowhere soooooo...
///RELIGIOUS VIEWS
A couple years ago or so I was a pretty "devout" atheist. I was in a phase where it was just so damn obvious that God did not exist and that people who believed otherwise were blind and brainwashed. This was during the time when I believed the government was scheming to doom us all mind you, and I thought religion was a tool of their destruction. Luckily, I was not foolish enough to continue believing that there was absolutely, positively, no sort of god. I slowly began to realize that faithfully believing that there was no God was just the opposite end of believing in God. Hope I don't hurt anyone's feelings but both ends are pretty ridiculous. I have since become agnostic. This is the simple belief that you simply do not know whether there is a God or if there is no God. I've had moments where I believe something is out there. I just don't understand why so many people believe in one god. The Judeo-Christian God of benevolence, omnipotent, and omnipresent simply can not exist. If there was a god as such the world would not be the way it is. If there is a god, I would believe in a god of Nature, Life, Death, Time, Emotion, or Soul. Things as such weigh so heavily on my conscious that it haves me sometimes believing that there might be something. But just as we can never know for sure whether there is a red Chinese tea cup too small to detect that revolves around the Sun or an invisibly pink unicorn, we can never know whether things we can not experience ourselves are real or not. Knowing and faith are two completely different things. I can appreciate people that truly do have 100% faith in their religion because it takes just as much thinking and mental strength as not believing in my opinion. It's the people that say they believe but go along their daily lives without even acknowledging their supposed belief and ignoring basic courtesies in life to other human beings.
I always have a lot to say about religious stuff don't I? I'll stop here. Pray for no surprise Zerglings.
