Rules?

People are stupid, they will believe something because they want it to be true; or they're afraid it might be true.

Do you have a face?

    Given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe its true, or because they're afraid it might be true. Peoples' heads are full of knowledge, facts and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    While people are stupid, this is not the end of the road. We can proceed with who we are beyond this foundation of ignorance. We must shatter our preconceptions in order to proceed with reason and love. People may want to believe that everything is wrong with the world, while they lay in bed with the one they love. People may want to believe that the world is filled only with good things, as they watch wickedness happen every day. The world is filled with what we put in it, and sometimes we put things in it which are not good. This is not what we have to do. We can make so much more than deeds into this world. We can infuse meaning into every moment and suck the marrow out of life so to speak.

    Do not allow yourself the temptation to not question your life, but also realize that you must accept the foundation you have set at some point. Your life means something. It means something to me, and it should mean something to you. Accept that what exists, exists. It can be changed, altered, or removed, but it exists. Our perceptions of existence may be wrong. However whatever does exist, exists. 

    Do not allow fear to run you. Your world cannot be what you make it if through fear you allow it to exist in a way that is not to your benefit. It is through courage that we can face the world and shape it. Do not allow your desire for how you wish the world to be to shape how you see it, it is only through honesty that we can rise each morning with sincere love for the world we have arisen into.

    Forever the world waits, we shall create.
