Here's something I wrote about a week ago in a random online journal, I'm not too sure what spawned it, maybe i was in a bad mood or something, but here it is.
"A journal?.. Stellar. I think i might just have to rant on and on about a pile or random while life ticks past, reality slowly kicks in and I wake the fuck up.
We go about life bitching about every little imperfection and blemish in an imitation of a magazine lifestyle. "my coffee mug's handle's too small. there's too much traffic. there's a stick in my anus. there's too many people living an imitation of a magazine lifestyle" (and yes, the latter was supposed be under speech marks)
It's all too easy to forget times long since past. Being a kid, climbing up trees over and over to make a jump, 'maybe this time i'll fly away and soar' The optimism. The hope. Somewhere along the road, the words breathed by an unrelenting youth were lost in translation. 'How can i?' became 'why should i?', 'where can i?' became 'where am i?'
Why appreciate when I can criticise? I mean, people listen to criticism whether they like it or not, the negative always has a greater effect on mood than the positive. Everyone wants to be heard, I know I do. Don't deny it.
Now there's an irony in this rant, which i'll have to change. All ranters of our society, the 'individuals' and deviants who must isolate society's flaws and who feel so far above it because they can identify a problem within it: Imagine if we didn't have our current system of existence. Where would that put them? without the majority, you don't have a minority and when it comes down to it a lot the 'minority' are just the majority in a different shell.
So who are the minority then? The minority are the ones who are truely awake, they're the ones who embrace what they have, that can accept an imperfect and often indifferent world for the few wonders and the beauty within it. They're ones who make a difference every day, whether it be small or miraculous by being aware of a society and adjusting its rules to acheive a postive result. They might not challenge every norm infact only challenge the ones that suit them, but they're doing it for them not to prove anything to anyone. In saying that, they know what can be seen as the not so good aspects of a system and know how to deviate when the occasion arises. They're aware without having to make a big deal about it and likely to say something along the lines of, "fuck it, i've got a life to live and not wasting my breathe on bitching about it"
You know exactly which one you are.
later."
Now, what I wanna know is whether you'd agree with it? What are the flaws in my theory? What do you think about the whole idea?
keep in mind, i was probably in a bad mood when i wrote it so, it might not be totally coherent.. so ask and comment away!
