A Couple Ramblings

  1. The tragedies on the scale heaven and hell must be so beyond our comprehension. Otherwise how could child predators, Hitler, and mass rapists not be smite on the spot. They must be small fry compared to the conflict between light and dark on a cosmic scale. Not worth noting.
  2. Love has no happy endings. That shouldn’t be your goal in a relationship because its impossible. It will be strife and sacrifice and heartbreak guaranteed. That doesn’t mean it won’t be one of the most fulfilling and worthwhile endeavors of your life. But keep in mind, best case is you both die within a few weeks of each other or something. I guess a sudden car crash would be good? From your POV at least, because neither had to live without the other.
  3. I would hate elves. The Tolkein-esque-live-forever-up-on-a-high-horse ones. I think up characters that would kill elves. It just seems so much more powerful to kill an Elf than a Human. For a mortal to take the life of an immortal being, for the fact of it. That gets my blood pumping. I can’t quite explain it. Maybe that’s why I’m so afraid of Aliens. I don’t like the idea of something higher than me.
  4. It drives me crazy when parents are so surprised and disappointed when their teen child steals alcohol or goes out and gets drunk. It’s their fault. So many of my parent’s friends had children about my age that had all these problems with alcohol when we were 15-19. But its the parents fault. These kids watched their parents use alcohol all the time. Mom is stressed? She drinks. Dad had a bad day at work? He drinks. Its the weekend and they have company over? Everyone drinks. You literally showed your child that the adult response to stress, and adult way to have fun, is alcohol. And now that your kid is starting to experience real world stress, and wants to have non-childish fun, they start drinking. It’s what YOU taught them idiot. Monkey see monkey do. You’re a shit person who doesn’t know how to manage their emotions and your child learned nothing but unhealthy coping mechanisms from you. Congratulations. You should smoke, hit your spouse, scream, smack the dog, talk shit behind your families back. Maybe your kid can pick up those habits to.
  5. I think its a mercy to Sisyphus that he sometimes reaches the top of the hill. Wouldn’t it be worse if it was just an unending slope? I get that the punishment is that he completes the task only to have to do it again. But somewhere in the hearts of men lays spite. Spite can be such a powerful force. Spite against God(s). Spite against the self. I think if I was him, sometimes I’d smile. Either at the bottom looking up, or at the top watching my boulder be cast down. I’d grin every now and again. That’s what Zeus would never understand. He should’ve created an unachievable task. Without a defined objective even. Y’know kinda like your right now human life. No real objective, you only know you gotta keep pushing.
  6. I think they have to say that the economy is recovering. If for a second they were honest and were like ‘alright there might be a little downturn’ BOOM. Economy lost. They can’t acknowledge it, it would break the surface tension. They have to keep lying or else they lose it. Remember dear reader, I am an idiot. So when I say what I am about to say with no real understanding or expertise, just take it with the grain of salt it deserves. I think it’s a bad thing that the unemployment rate is reported to be lowest its been in however many years. I think it’s a sign that the economy is so in the shitter that even the people who can ordinarily get by (somehow) without a job, are having to suck it up and take on some kind of employment. How do people not see the price of stuff and go, yeah depression inbound. I think they’re just putting it off. It’s one of the bad parts about term limits. You can put stuff off for the next politician, who can then say they inherited a bad situation, and so on and so on.
  7. I want to try a no-plastics diet. Can’t buy food that comes packaged in plastic. This is more difficult than veganism I think. All meat, frozen stuff, lettuce, bananas, stuff that is in a cardboard box but then you open it and there’s a sealed bag inside, granola bars, milk, sauces, water, bread, take out food containers, yoghurt, pickles ain’t even in a jar anymore, etc. There are very few things you can eat that haven’t touched plastic before it gets to you. I think plastic is good for some things. But I think we should stop putting it in our food, our clothes, and our furniture/houses. Things we come into contact with or consume probably shouldn’t be petrochemical products when there’s like, natural fibers or biodegradable stuff. Meat is a tough one. I don’t really see how we could get our meat as we currently do without plastic. Glass bottles would be an easy fix for a lot of liquids. Just carboard or sacks or something idk for stuff like cereal. Wood crates and metal containers. Cans I guess? I try to buy things that aren’t in plastic, but if you pay attention it’s almost impossible.
