I have major issues reading some other blogs. It's always about controlling and never about sharing. Most blogs should be titled, "If I Ran the World". Then people could rant about everything terrible every one ever did to them, near them, about them, and far away from them. It's enough to make me sick. So then I get on here and immediately start thinking, "How can I cure the world?"
Which of course makes me just as bad as everyone else, right?
If I think I can cure the world than I must believe that I am either morally, ethically, emotionally, spiritually or some way better than most everyone else. "They" are all doing it wrong, only "I" know how to do it right.
The nice thing is that here and there I meet people who agree with me on most things. But that's also the bad thing. These people who agree with me on MOST things are so close to perfection, but fall terribly short because they don't agree with ALL.
What's the point then?
If I feel this way YOU can feel this way THEY surely feel this way.
"I'm right Dammit!" we all scream.
"YOU have NEVER been right!"
"I was wrong BEFORE but NOW I am the only one right!"
Getting hung up on these thoughts when I was young is what made smoking pot such a relief. I truly felt better when I was high. These thoughts would get expanded upon, or ignored and either way I was happy. We were happy. YOU were stoned, I was stoned, even THEY were stoned sometimes. It was peaceful.
But it really led nowhere.
Really. It didn't take long to realize that staying insulated from the world through THC was NOT the right answer, albeit a comfortable wrong answer, that's for sure.
Either way, that was a long time ago. Back then I only dreamed of writing and there was no Internet to begin Blogging on. Maybe back then I felt I had a universal answer. Maybe, if the question were possible, I would have been able to explain to whom the changes on FaceBook benefit.
You see, it's all a matter of perspective. And here is my conclusion to What's Wrong With the World:
CONSIDER OTHER PERSPECTIVES
