Reflections

[Raz]

This is something I wrote about my personal opinions that have happened to me in the past year that I simply decided to write in the form of a short essay. This is just my own thoughts so I'm not really asking anyone to challenge it as this is a little personal... enjoy!

This is a new year and so I thought I might express myself through but one and only one message to everything and everyone out there. Do not take any of this personally; this is only my thoughts on what life is from what has happened in the past year to me. Now... this is a one time thing, so don't expect me to elaborate or argue on views. Let's begin, shall we?

Title: The Inconsistency of Life, a brief personal glimpse at the revolting nature of mankind
By: Chris Jones

Through the many years a certain degree of knowledge has accumulated itself within me, thus giving me a more precise sense of what is wrong and what is right. As my fingers untrainly play over the strings of my newly acquired desire to play an instrument I've much time to cross over into the section of myself I like to think of as my decisive state of mind. In this state I take occurrences and translate them to myself in order gain a better understanding of that which is the world I live in. For better or worse, I have come to call purification of thought a way of pulsing past the antipathy of what I've seen and attempt to achieve a more profound light on the subject... but... there are things that, regardless of the situation, have no alternatives and are grotesque and ugly. Something known as true human form.

You stroll through the ambience that is the collective shops of the nearby mall, glimpsing through the windows to see couples about to partake in the purchasing of various items. Those two could be a perfect image should they be framed and thrown upon to adorn a wall to commemorate an occasion, but when delved further could unearth what may lie in hiding...

Chivalry is dead.

Those three words come to mind when describing events' past which, when realized, actually play a significant role in modern day society. A woman is looked down upon for excessive partners when men are revered for accomplishing the 'feat'. Should they not obtain a title of demeaning properties? Should they be expelled from social segregation because of their integrated hormones driving them to do so? Should this not be more of a fact to demote a man then their desire to knowing put on women into believing their intentions true only to easily slip from the situation unscathed and emotionally unattached.

We turn our televisions to watch programs where couples have been brought to the brink of break only because one of the partners have had sexual encounters with an alternative mate, gaining air time and reputation because of their dysfunctional ways. This is sick. A recent program "Cheaters" reveals all too well the disease that is a human and how we corrupt not only ourselves but future generations by giving into these desires.

Sex out of wedlock, untrue couples, cheating husbands or wives, all of this has become a plague by which we live our lives in. Forget not when I say we bring ourselves to this point... within this New Year I wish others will join with me in attempts to break Desire, cast it away, live our lives on principles of righteousness and true prosperity. Though I know my words will only dwindle away as sand to the winds I hope if only one will heed what I say during this small essay.

Personality crisis.

People openly admitting to their problems only wish to gain sympathy, those drinking or wishing to break sobriety are complete fools. Recently there has been a ban installed within the school districts in order to decrease the rising obesity level of the nation's youth, some yelling forth with the call that the drinking of these carbonated beverages keeps them awake during the various hours of schooling. Bull shit. We are brought into this world without any need for a foreign substance to keep us normal... breath, eat, drink, and defecate. These are the basis by which humans can go about for years without change and yet when you become depended on something, not only because of enjoyment, but because you excessively NEED it that is when your mentality has gone astray.

We do not any form of soda in order to keep us at a norm. As example, I have gone for months without a drop of the carbonated concoction and still need not a bit of it. And for the record I have entered my eighteenth year of existence a virgin to alcohol and have never felt better.

Now that we have entered a state of realizing the 'all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world' is actually a nice way of placing our existence, I do believe it is time to move onto a more direct approach on those "punks" and "emo" rejects currently residing in our society.

You are no different from that person sitting in a cubical. The only difference is that you have no purpose and they do.

When you've come to realize how short life is and how much of an impact you've made it will be far too late, you're influence will be that of a waded up blueprint that never made it to the board. You may say to yourself I am none to be talking so highly of myself for there hasn't been a thing done in my name to show my contribution, hm? What I have done is attend my classes consecutively without ditching a day in my life. Give me time. This world begs for a change and if I must throw my life to the curb in order to secure a better tomorrow for my future family, then so be it.

You say there is a difference? You say because you've no family to support you that there is no hope? Then you are as bad as any addict. You depend on the support of others too heavily and thus you fail when they suddenly disappear, sending all you have done tumbling down into the abyss like so many before you. Have faith in yourself and what you can accomplish, don't shame those around you by caring more for yourself rather then that of others. If for every day everyone were to try and help those around them instead of only selfish Desires (there it is again) then we will have benefited far beyond any amount of evolution.

Each moment that passes another person dies from their lack of care for another; an animal passes from this life over because of that same lack of care. These creatures (including humans) require us to understand their basic needs... they need our help though those wearing their leather jackets, tight pants, arms tracked by excessive cuts, drinking, distain for authority and civil tongues shamelessly have even the dignity left within to step out into public as they are. Leave yourself at home and rethink life... you only live once and living only for yourself becomes hallow.

For countless pages I can go on describing the antiquities of filth I have seen, but for now I've given more then what the average individual can even perceive. I know with all my heart what I say cannot change a bit in this life nor will it help me in the next... what I say now is what I hope to be a prerequisite to the future, something someone years from now will find in an archive and read to realize what I have said to be true. Every generation needs a change... just as every generation needs its hero.
