I'm bored. Enjoy these simple philosophies on life from yours truly.
1) Disregard people, but embrace the person.
A person is but a part of the people until you form a personal bond with them. At that point, they become an individual person capable of feeling, thinking, and interacting with you on a personal level. Until you make that direct bond, they are but a single drop in the ocean of the mass and are insignificant to your existence.
“When one man dies it is a tragedy, when thousands die it’s statistics.”
- Joseph Stalin
2) Do what you love and ignore criticism.
Don't worry about what other people think of you. Do what your enjoy and what makes you feel good. If you are comfortable with who you are and what you do then that's all that matters. The only obligations you have to other people are those that you give to yourself. Even the opinions of loved ones pale in comparison to your own level of comfort. Living by their standards and expectations will not make you happy. Shrug off the outside opinions and you'll be able to live a lot more freely than you know.
“Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do.”
- Benjamin Franklin
3) Laws are a necessary evil if you deem them so.
Laws rule people through the power of fear. Fear of repercussion is the perhaps the only dictating notion that prevents people from enacting the most heinous of acts. While necessary in order to maintain a generalized peace, one must realize that this law is a standard set in place by just another man. To concede to that law is to concede to the standards of another human being. Do this only if your comfortable doing so. If not, find someplace where you can live to your own standards and regulations.
“The law is reason free from passion.”
- Aristotle
Will update as they come to mind. If you have a question on my opinion regarding a specific subject, then feel free to ask. :goodjob:
