Hypocrite+Insults

People are so judgemental these days about other people that they don't even bother to step back and realize they are doing exactly what they are complaining about. My friends, I'm talking about hypocrites, who seem to abound in every damp corner, and brightlit clearing these days. They are everywhere, complaining and judging for the mere sake of it, so they can feel as if they know better than others. But in reality, (somewhere they aren't exactly in tune with), they know less than they could possibly imagine.

And the previous paragraph brings me onto insults. I am tired of them. Not just directed towards me, but all of them. They hurt, they make people feel bad about themselves, and they last a long time, longer than most people can imagine. Just because you say it as a joke, as something not to be taken seriously, does NOT mean that the person you are talking to will take it the same way. My friends are being hurt because of "innocent" words that aren't being taken seriously by others. It can destroy someone's life, ruin it, so that there is only one way out, and it is not easy. What I want to leave you with, is that people are aware to everything that you say about, whether positive or not, so actually take at least a minute to think about what you are going to say to people before you do. It could have disastrous results if you don't.

I'm sad, but I can change things...?

Well, I'm a newfound vegetarian, and I'm a bit tired of the rampant destruction of humankind.
So, now I feel like I need to say something about it. People need to change their eating habits, meat takes more land, more energy, and more money to raise than edible vegetation. We need to cut down, or eliminate our intake of meat so we can save the planet. We are destroying the planet with our greedy ways. And for the skeptics, we can get all the nutrients we need from plants, vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans etc.

Some people would say, "Hey, you're only one person" but when you think about it, presidents and prime ministers are only people, Mao Tse-tung, Hitler, Stalin, and Ghandi were only one person, (not that I put myself at Ghandi's level, or approve of Mao's, Hitler's or Stalin's methods), and look at what they managed to acheive. I believe that if whoever reads this blog thinks about, and changes their diet to a more enviromentally friendly one, they can in turn spread it out to their friends, and this chain could make a difference.


One
Within trees grown old and twisted,
lies one with emerald leaves.
It sees the death among its friends,
rolls out its golden sleeves,
With patient grace, a branch comes out,
shakes out a couple seeds.
They all spread out amongst the gloom,
away, the darkness bleeds.
Up from the ground, some hope comes out,
a young tree grows, new, pure
The life takes over, sets all free,
it is bliss, joy, a cure.
The hate is gone, now warmth remains,
in the sky, a shining sun.
The tree spreads out, basking in life,
knowing its job is done.
For it knew that it would succeed,
despite very high stakes.
Deep down inside, the knowledge brewed,
that one is all it takes.

Procrastination

I'm here, right now, in front of my computer, procrastinating. I should be doing my ghost story, but I don't feel like it and I have friends to talk to, so what the heck? I might as well enjoy myself tonight instead of slaving over a keyboard doing something I don't want to.

I was sitting there, looking at my msn page thingy, when to my utter horror, I saw a [french-ing] tag on someone! I thought at first, my god! that's sexual, but then, I was astounded that someone was actually talking about procrastinating! Fateema, her name was, and irresponsible, she was as well. But I was procrastinating as well, so hypocrisy was inevitable.

It seems today that we all lack that certain quality necessary to focus on one task that we find repulsive, horrid, or just plain boring, and finish it. Because of that, we are constantly flowing from one task to another, never finishing, like an impatient sumo wrestler going between meals.

But here and there, we have the odd person with the determination to continue with even the most daunting task, and finish it at a level close to perfection. These people may be able to sow their qualities throughout the general populous and allow us to bask in the ability to succeed and follow through.

So I just finished sorta ranting on that topic, so I think I'll let one of our greatest faults slide for now...
