Fact: The only Animals on this Planet are Humans
tags:
Save the Planet
How many times did you hear people in silent pride claiming that "human specie is the highest form of animals"? And how many times did you agree; or have you ever disagreed? To me I automatically disagree with a laugh. Poor humans indeed to ever come-up with such ridiculous self-serving idea about themselves.
I disagree that humans are the prima donnas not that humans might be negotiated to another level lower than what was originally claimed. Contrary to the egotistic claim of humans that their specie is the highest form of animal, I categorically say they are not. In fact, people are the ONLY animals on this planet. With this I don't negotiate. Humans belong to the only level it has for itself: the animal level. Humans monopolizes this level. There should be no imposition that all other species belong to this class.

Why Government Services are a Fake Compassion?
tags:
Compassion,
government
One does compassion not to make himself happy. He does compassion because he is happy. That is why taxes and government socialist services are fake forms of
compassion. They arise not of the genuine feeling to extend help to
others but rest on the idea that such action MIGHT make other people
better or surely make the giver happy about himself.

Why Central Bankers Don't like Gold Standard?

Central Banking,
Gold Standard
Gold as money. Why not? |
Gold cannot be counterfeited but central bankers refuse to use it. Instead they use paper bills. They justify it by reasoning that market liquidity can't be provided by scarce supply of gold. Gold is, for them, cumbersome to economic growth . Only bills can. Sounds logical is it not?
But wait. If the reason of security features in bills is to thwart counterfeiters, how exactly they suppose to sustain market liquidity using the same bills? The only answer is to make more of those bills! What? Sounds like a counterfeiting, doesn't it? A legalized counterfeiting.
The real reason bankers don't want gold is not actually liquidity problems but gold is impossible to counterfeit. Scumbags, aren't they?
What Atheist and Creationist Have in Common?
How did it begin? |
Evolution is logical. Creation is logical too as to the idea that an "uncaused cause" must be
necessary to answer the problem of who started everything.
However, though creationism and evolution is not compatible with each other, the former relying on a deity to solve the puzzle, the latter encounters the same problem of how everything really started. In fact they share the same absurd focal problem; the BEGINNING of the START.
I only Live for Myself
I don't live for others.
I only live for myself.
Without me living first with myself;
How the hell could I give to others;
Without me first destroying myself?
And if I refuse to give to others,
And you tell it is wrong for me to keep things for myself,
Then how in hell you ever came to thinking;
That others have the right to keep my things for themselves
Without them destroying me first?
I don't act to be happy.
But I act accordingly;
Or perhaps accordingly is acting on me;
But by accordingly I simply mean;
That I have no choice but to act to be happy.
I only live for myself.
Without me living first with myself;

Existence is an Axiom
Axiom is a premise of reasoning solidly backed only by itself as sanctioned by experience. It is a self-evident statement; a proposition assumed to be true without the burden of proving it. And at times it is tried to be disproved, the attempt only presupposes its validity.
"I, this whole me, exist" is a classic example of a non-disprovable statement. It relies on the felt experience that it is so. And no other proof is necessary to assert that it is so. The attempt to disprove it, ie. the words "I don't exist", contradicts the very experience or feeling of being existent.
Perhaps existence is the grandest axiom
forgotten as such. Everyone have this inherent feeling that he or she exists. This the deeply-rooted but supposed to be the most obvious feeling of presence, of being here, of being alive. But most are consumed in outward things like clothes, foods, friends, status, families, cosmetics, feelings, experiences. and worries that they forgot the very thing that makes everything possible - the fact of being here and now.
Men have forgotten that their true identity is the wholeness of everything at every moment. The cosmic amnesia has brought all sorts of suffering to humans. They strongly embrace the identity which they call "I" or "me". And with the act of keeping their identities intact comes the suffering brought by the struggle to keep it. And with this, everyday there goes the ego olympics where everyone is trying to outrun everybody else hoping that by doing such would make them fulfilled, loved by everybody, sought by everybody thus making the identity more solid and more self-fulfilling and leaving the fear of being left out at bay. Even worse is when one tries to outrun himself.
Existence is an axiom because it is as it is. The suffering felt can only be brought by the mistaken identity that we are discrete individual apart from everybody else. Apart from people around, apart from trees, from insects and animals, apart from falling leaves, from clouds, from dust and mud, from soil and rocks, from seas and river, from crimes and corruptions, from crooked politicians, from pious fellows, from gurus and students, from concrete blocks, from air, from oxygen and pollution, and literally apart from everything. However, if one comes to realization that everything at this moment is the perfect conspiracy of the wholeness itself, no more there will be a suffering brought by continuous struggle to keep the idea of "myself".
Even the idea that there is a Creator or
God or gods that created the universe is no longer relevant if one understands the wholeness of everything. The concept of creator is not important except as a worthwhile alternative for
men to keep in their heads while the axiomatic nature of existence is yet to
be recognized. Once life is understood, that it is void of
beginning and end, the idea about a God that is discretely apart from
creation will vanish. What remains is the recognition that life is
itself the very God we are trying to seek.
Struggle may bring something until you feel it is already boring struggling.

Death
The thought of hitting the end of the road struck me lately.
Sooner or later I am dead. There is a taste of loneliness prevailing the feeling that
someday everything will be gone. In a blink of an eye, like a puff of smoke,
everything that I possess will cease to be mine. The
passion of living will come to an end. The ultimate endgame would soon swallow
me whole.
Mr. Death never needs my permission. He comes when he comes.
My time is up when my time is up. But I hope he comes to me swiftly. I am
not really afraid of death. Dying is what makes me hesitant to give-in even in
my imagination. That is why I really hope death comes to me quick.
Carl Jung on his pioneering works in psychology had
emphasized the importance of understanding the Shadow. He said that one can never
understand the Substance as long as one denies the counterpart of
it which he called the Shadow. These two opposites go together all the time, so
as life and death. One embraces life, one embraces death also.
Most would feel Death as a foe, an uncompromising foe. No one can give excuses like when one wants to postpone an appointment with a peer. Death keeps his schedule rigid and unalterable. When time is up, time is up.
Dissolution is what one is afraid of. No one wants to be separated from what they've conditioned to enjoy. Family, daughters and sons, wife, lovers, friends, job, social status, power, riches, beauty, sex, and orgasm. Everyone fears to cease existing, afraid of halting the palpable human existence. Death is to be avoided at all cost. Obviously, it is impossible.
Running away from death is futile. Humans knew it. But they develop the culture of trying to stop death from coming. But there is a lifetime of opportunity to understand what death is. If one comes to an understanding that death is no more than just like the moment before one is born, the fear would dissolve slowly. What remains is the joy of living the current moment and a relaxing feeling going on with the flow.
Death is never been a problem. The way people deal with it is.
