Fanatics knocking on my door

• When a fanatic knocks on your door to thrust religious beliefs upon you, liberally apply a dose of ‘I really don’t give a damn’ and watch their frustration. How can they convert someone who just doesn’t care?
• When a friendly partner loses her cool (not that you did anything wrong), try acting as if ‘I really don’t give a damn’. It is definitely an excellent form of damage control. All of the ridiculously emotional things you might have said disappear into a veil of vagueness. Leaving you safe after the storm has passed.
• If you are in a meeting and the bullies are getting the best of you, relax into your best pose of ‘I really don’t give a damn’. Let it show and watch them give up on you. Everybody knows that nothing is ever resolved at a meeting, so you have nothing to lose.

Idiots tell lies to the fools

Ancient wisdom… what is that supposed to mean? Does that mean that somewhere a long time ago there were people who were intelligent like we are now? That of course is stupid because the intelligence of the human race has obviously declined. (If a species was intelligent, it would not destroy its own planet in exchange for money).

I am not convinced that ancient wisdom existed. The problem with wisdom is that if you don’t have any, how would you recognise it? We only see what we can comprehend. So the ancient writings that we understand are only restating what we already know, nothing very wise about that.

The wisdom of the ancients is about as meaningful as the wisdom of your government. Imagine if you had to write a book on that!

Boring rehashes of the same old clinical and diluted propaganda are presented as wise, intelligent and practical to us, the gullible public. All corporate bodies issue superficial nothings designed to lull us gullible masses into a belief that the monster really cares about us. These lifeless statements are usually blindly accepted as wisdom, wit or advice.

The idea of wise forefathers is a stupid fantasy fostered by religious and other groups that have an interest in tying your mind to a mythical past. It is easy to make people feel stupid by telling them to follow the superior teachings of some person or group who died a long time ago, (assuming they even existed).

What is wrong with thinking for yourself? What is wrong with letting your mind play with new ideas, thoughts that are unique to you? Entertain thoughts that seem a little foolish at first and often they will open the way to brand new concepts.

By the way, don’t expect anyone to applaud you for your innovative thinking. It will be the opposite, you will be classed as a weirdo if you stop conforming and stop believing the watered-down soup offered as nourishment by the corporate uglies.

Look within your own imagination and invent your own wise words of guidance if you really need any wisdom. Anyway, doesn’t history prove that humans have always been egocentric idiots, completely devoid of wisdom and totally inept at learning from their mistakes?

Our world is built upon a foundation of deceit, greed and dishonesty. Wisdom of the Ancients? Ha! Even if there was any, it would be wasted on us mindless masses and our greedy, visionless leaders!

A creative way to get old

It seems to me that many health products are promoted as promises to achieve health and fitness without the effort. They are a promise of the easy way out. I don’t know about you, but I have found that life on earth requires constant effort and that shortcuts rarely result in the job being done properly.

Not exercising or not eating properly will result in your body reacting with problems, (I’m not medically qualified, but even to me that seems obvious). A few pills are not going to make you fit and healthy.

Not moving and working your body will result in muscular decay. So if I don’t walk, the muscles in my legs and stomach will weaken until they can no longer be relied upon to serve me. So when I get a health problem, it is because I took the shortcut, the easy way. Instead of making my muscles work, I gave them an extended holiday. In the long run, it is obviously a dumb thing to do.

Imagine if someone made you sit in a boring, cramped and empty room day after day, you would soon feel very weak. So it is with your muscles – don’t use them and they start to weaken, they lose form, they get smaller and they start to break down.

Muscles are a result of action, not dreams. (Not true! Muscles can also be a result of chemical injection, but that’s okay if you don’t mind becoming abusive to those around you.) If you want a body that works, you have to work that body!

Maybe your body loves being exercised but you have never pushed it long enough to find out! You will have to talk to it and find out for yourself. Through martial arts, I exercise a lot, some say that makes me an adrenalin junkie, I think that’s probably simply jealousy on their behalf and a weak attempt to justify their own laziness.

So if you want to be creative, imaginative and dynamic, start using that brain muscle or else it also will shrivel up and you will end up with a boring, empty room in your head. Then you will have legs that won’t walk and a head that can’t think, that’s what many think of as old age, I call it laziness.

I would like you to have all of my money… please…
