Random Thoughts: May 17

I’m in charge of my life. Nobody is gonna control me. I’ll listen, respect, learn, apply, and live but don’t think I will ever agree with something for the sole reason that it has been said by someone I respect. People say shit all the time that they know nothing about. None of us, including me, know anything for certain. None of us, including me, are experts on anything. We aren’t even a little bit knowledgeable about anything. We know nothing. Stop thinking you’re smart shit based on things like job titles, bank accounts, experience, respectability, or anything else. None of us are smart shit. Just understand that you’re a fool like everyone else and then make your best guesses based on your own identity.

That’s what humans have done for thousands of years and even though shit looks dark right now, it is an undeniable, simple FACT that we have made an insane amount of progress as a species. People are still alive from when freakin’ Hitler was alive. Slavery used to be a fact of life. From 1882-1968, 4,743 lynchings occurred in the United States. I think it’s safe to say we’ve improved since then.


I know shit seems hard but just keep guessing your best guesses. It’s working. It will keep working. Maybe you’ll be super wrong. Actually you will be wrong for sure. We all will be. That’s kinda the whole point. God doesn’t live up on a mountain somewhere answering all of our tough questions for us. We have to learn for ourselves and, unfortunately for us, its process of elimination. You’ll be dead long before you see the progress you might believe in but you don’t really exist in the large scheme of things. On the grand scale only the WE exists and WE are just going with our best guess. And WE have been doing mostly pretty good.

Not sure what I’m trying to say exactly but whatever. Who cares, amIright?
