Selfishness is a Virtue

Image
"It's not wrong to be selfish. It's actually the most beautiful thing a person can be.  To be selfish means to be yourself." - You tell me who said that in the comments without googling it I 've   heard many people being called selfish for many things, none of which could be considered particularly admirable. Unfortunately due to some incompetence, ignorance, and arbitrary occurrences we have arrived at a culture that misrepresents the value of selfishness and demonizes the supposed selfish individual. Not without good reason either, but my point remains. My point being that the word selfish, just like every other word you think you know, needs to be redefined. That's a great practice btw, notice how when you're reading something you sometimes work out the meaning of the word from the context in which it's used? Well, guess what? Most of the words you know have been learned in the same manner, by assumption rather than inquiry. By someone giving it to ...

The Biggest Delusion

Image
I t's safe to say that the people fortunate enough to have their most basic needs fulfilled and secured throughout their lives are faced with increasingly counter intuitive challenges that continuously manage to turn up the difficulty. Think of it as the game of life's ingenious built-in system to ensure a consistent level of challenge and infinite replay-ability.  None the less, with the advent of the internet, guides and walkthroughs for virtually all levels can be uploaded secure in the knowledge that almost everyone from any level can possibly seek out their own personal solutions. So any advice offered is never really wasted, provided it's made easily available. Even if it isn't, no effort is ever wasted in general, but that's another topic in itself. With that outlandish introduction out of the way, I want to talk about the single biggest misconception so prevalent that it manages to hold people back in innumerable ways regardless of their level. It is the ide...

My Story: The Vicious Cycle

Image
Ever since I can remember I've always had difficulty in being consistent. Now I've always bought into the idea that, "You could be anything you set your mind to" and this difficulty always seemed to me like the biggest hurdle between who I've been and who I've wanted to become. Everything I've done seems to have happened in phases. Always fluctuating from anime, to gaming, to reading, writing etc. It seemed like the only certainty was that things are always changing. But the most apparent of all these twists and turns was my constant cycle of wanting to become better, a.k.a. obsessive self- improvement, to downright apocalyptic indifference, where I would just abuse my senses via food, drugs, pornography, or all of the above, expecting to be annihilated as son as possible, a.k.a. self-destruction. I'd say it would be best described as a cycle between boundless optimism and cynical nihilism. Phase 1  Phase 2. Repeat till death. Now I...

Hello Darkness My Old Friend

Image
D eath;  Such a somber, melancholic and desolate topic of discussion. The word carries with it tons of negative connotations on it's shoulders, yet the immeasurable weight of this allegorical dark armor does not slow down the reaper one bit. No matter how severely people are traumatized by this phenomenon, or how terribly difficult it can make a person's life, Death happens all the same. Maybe that's because The truth is immune to one's feelings, maybe caring is a fallacy exclusive to humans, It's hard to say for sure. What we do know for sure, is that everything in this universe is temporary and death is coming for us all. It is the great unifier that takes everything back to where it came from, nothingness, and so the pendulum swings on. Death is literally a part of Life F or those of you who don't know, a connotation is the feeling that a word incites in a person. It can therefore, by definition, be different for everyone. Personally, the word br...
