Dont Stop

Lately, for some reason I haven’t been reading as much as I would like to. I find it rather disappointing. It’s not that I think that I feel like I am “well-informed” enough that I don’t feel the need to fill my head with new ideas or just entertain myself via reading, I say to myself.

I’ve been feeling weary almost all the time I am awake. There has to be something wrong with the way I am living right now, I say to myself. But at the same time there’s this feeling also in my head saying that, “you’re doing alright.” Seeing that I am somewhat of an optimistic guy I went for the latter.

Although I’d like to blame it on the lack of time I have nowadays and the other easier form of entertainments out there and again the unhealthy lifestyle. I am now thinking that I am actually giving myself some time off from reading. I think too much when I read and I become even skeptical than I already am. For all you know the authors who write books wrote it just for the sake of screwing with your head, I say to myself.

I realize that I read almost about the same stuff I write in my blog. It’s always the same subjects if not something related to it. So, I write basically about the things I’ve read, mostly. I came to a decision that I should expand my horizons by reading on other stuffs so that I’d be more exposed and colorful in the future?

I like to think that I write about how I see the world revolves around me, how I see people walking about around me living their lives in the beliefs they believe in. I like doing that. Perhaps one day I’d study about how the human brain works. But then it might never come to that.

Jumping back to the things I read. When an author writes in his book, whatever he says is right. That’s one of the good things about writing a book, just like the blog you can write anything you want in it and pay the consequences later but the point is you can write what you feel in it and be right in it. That could very well just be a figure of speech.

I rant about the same things over and over again with no real turn outs. But that’s what I like to write about, things that bugs me the most. They say that expressing oneself is crucial. And that is what I am doing. It may be pointless but if it helps at least to keep myself busy and entertain my thoughts those are good enough reasons to me.

“The lives of pre-civilized human nature were one of contentment and benevolence. But when the great human inventions of civilization and private property arrived everything went downhill.”

Artificial need stimulates artificial greed’s. That might just be the thing that’s happening today. However the phrase above might not very well suit the age we live in today. Artificial needs are no longer artificial in the time and age we live in. In our lives it’s a necessity. In a different aspect, you might not be the one with desires towards artificial needs but the people around you and your loved ones certainly do, which makes it no longer artificial. It would also be weird when everyone in the world goes for those needs except for you. That’s the world we live in today. I don’t think that elaborating on it would make any difference and so here are some diversions contrary to what I said just now on how certain beliefs/ views contradict (changing topics):

“We believe that there are always causes for everything, machine breakdowns, plants growing and planets circling. These are all sane beliefs but just beliefs nevertheless.”

However the same person also had doubts about the existence of the self because of its “undetactability.”

The second one: “the paddy fields, its reason to be eaten and so are the animals for food and transportation. The plants/ greeneries provide oxygen. And finally man, who is at the top of the chain. If all the other things has its function and its role, Why do some people think that a man’s existence is purposeless, Without reason?

Hm, what am I doing? I feel that my message is that everyone has their own sets of beliefs and that no matter what; you could almost never change those beliefs? Okay, I feel foolish now, letting people know what they’ve already known since they were born. This entry somewhat like the rest doesn’t really resolve’s anything. I hope that it was at least a beneficial read.
