Geniuses, Love, Acceptance, Spirituality
///DIFFERENCE
When I think about it, I don't really see the difference an intelligence different between monkeys and humans and between humans and the geniuses of the world. Humans are more conscious than monkeys of their actions yes, but I think that geniuses are as close to another a level of consciousness (I hate spelling that) than the rest of us. It's pretty amazing the types of breakthroughs they can have when the rest of us just ramble on as cogs in the machine. I wonder if people the geniuses who pursue knowledge are tormented by the fact that our life is so limited to a short span of time. Sure, some of them overcame the fear of death but I'm sure many have cracked under the fear at one point or another. I choose to ignore it for now. No point in dwelling on it. There must be some sort of genius gene in there somewhere. I think I lean more towards Nature in the Nature vs. Nurture argument nowadays. People are just born one way.
///LOVE*ACCEPTANCE
No, not my love life but just the meaning of it itself. I was sitting in my car listening to You, Me, and the Bourgeoisie and I realized how great it felt to say the world LOVE. It seems like a completely different word to me after this summer. It's such a powerful word. Everything is a lot easier when you have love on your mind. It's easier to see people as loveable people despite their flaws. It's just having a thought of why spread hate and anger? Spreading good vibes and love is a lot easier and feels better. I guess I could describe the feeling as genuinely caring or just always trying to make another person happy. Either way, I like it.
///SPIRITUALITY
I'm going to see if I can relate to all of the points in this article.
1) YOU GET TO SEE LIFE FROM A BIRD’S-EYE VIEW.
I don't really get this one but I would guess that's because I've always been the type to just observer people rather than act.
2)YOU GET MORE CONTROL OVER THE THINGS YOU CAN CONTROL.
I feel this way. I noticed I stopped getting so stressed at work. This could be why. I can't be for sure on all of this but like I said, I'm not stressed at work so much anymore. Man... work was a black hole of hell for me this past summer until now.
3) IT QUIETS YOUR MIND, WHICH MAKES YOUR MIND STRONGER.
Again, this is something I think I naturally did. I learned to tune out all the chatter in my head at times when I just needed quiet. It's weird the way I do it. I just imagine it as a game where my brain is destroying thought before it even has a chance to expand to something to dwell on.
4) YOU CAN DEAL BETTER WITH SORROW OR GRIEF.
Ugh, I dunno about this. Seeing sadness in people has never made me sadder to the point of getting a little teary eyed nowadays. I just think it's such a terrible thing to have to live a depressing life without love. They say love can only go so far but that far can go a long ass way. It can change your reality where nothing matters except having the love of the ones you care for.
5) YOU HAVE PATIENCE & TOLERANCE
Patience is something I've always had. I never really cared about having to wait in line for anything because I knew whoever was working or whatever was doing their best. If they're having a bad day, so be it, I'm not gonna try to make their bad day worse for them. Tolerance on the other hand, is something I did get over the summer. Again, this is something I noticed at work. I'm able to deal with the more "demanding" customers that I would previously just get angry and short with. I used to fight with them a bit but now I'm on a path of working on just making customers happy.
6) YOU BECOME COMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN SKIN.
YES. I may not be completely there yet because I was in my little shell for so long but I definitely feel more comfortable in my own skin now. This was especially noticeable when I smoked some weed. Usually I'd get really self-conscious for whatever reason and just feel weird. The last time I smoked I felt fine and was able to just sit there enjoying the thinking time I had. And music.
7) YOU GET HAPPY.
Obviously. I've been a lot happier and seem to get happier day by day. Wow, I just realized that this is the first time I could say this in a long ass time. A lot of my past blogs have been about how shit just kept going downhill reaching a new bottom every time. Well, hahahaha I just feel happy sitting here typing away about how I can put that behind me. This new perspective on life is really just amazing. How the hell did I live before? Everyday I wake up I choose love. Right? Go Submarines!
I'm writing so much now. I kinda wanna cut back... can't be good to show everyone how I feel about everything.
Time to make a sandwich and watch Weeds!
